"I received the copies of your Floral Design Magazine and took them in for my classmates and teacher to check out, they were all very impressed.  My teacher ... was very eager to read the copy you sent. She mentioned that she was planning and hoped to subscribe for a classroom copy. read only copy for students to enjoy.
The most asked question from everyone was..."which country do these magazines come from?" When I said NZ they were surprised. We all compared other classroomcopy's of floral design magazines and we all agreed the quality of your Floral Design NZ magazine was far above those from overseas.
In addition with the overseas floral design magazines being so much more expensive for subscriptions, due to postage, a home grown alternative is always attractive. Another point we discussed was the brightness and colour of the photos which is simply breathtaking. "  Deborah Allen New Zealand

Hi Mike The reaction was great to your magazine —Yvonne, Ireland


I've received the magazine and waouhhhhh!!!!  It's  all wonderful, the text, and the photos, really wonderful. Jacques Castagné called me to speak about the very high level of your magazine, he's very happy  with what you've done about him and his shop. All my Master Florist friends saw it with me and we're all happy to tell that the level of your magazine is very, very high in front of many of others in the international press. I told them that you were both very sympatic too. In this case, I'm sure that we'll work together again, because I  just love what you do. Kary , Paris
