As one of the last remaining wholesale flower markets in the country, it continues to offer both commercial buyers and everyday flower lovers an unparalleled selection of fresh blooms\u2014with public hours beginning at 8 a.m., and earlier admission for badge-holding wholesale members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the Flower Mart\u2019s roots trace back to an informal 1912 market on Market Street near Lotta\u2019s Fountain, and it\u2019s held previous addresses on Fifth and Howard Streets, its new home is designed to honor that historic legacy while expanding modern conveniences. This move marks a triumphant resolution to a years-long effort to preserve a one-of-a-kind marketplace where many workers can build careers without formal education or advanced language skills\u2014a rarity in California\u2019s changing economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/sfflowermarket.org\">SF Flower Market Website<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For more than a century, the SF Flower Mart has drawn florists and early risers to its bustling wholesale marketplace in the pre-dawn hours.
