Graciela Alavez delicately packages designer orchid arrangements at Westland Floral while co-worker Rafael Marín waits to move the packages down the assembly line. Flower sales boom around the Mother’s Day holiday, which is a yearly peak along with Secretaries Week and Valentine’s Day. Roughly 20,000 orchid and gerbera designer arrangements grown and packaged in Westland’s Carpinteria greenhouses arrive at supermarkets across the country each year ahead of these three holidays. Westland is one of several Carpinteria Valley farms donating flowers to the California Women for Agriculture Mother’s Day Plant & Flower Sale, which will be held next Saturday morning on the Carpinteria Middle School lawn. See more inside of Westland’s greenhouses on pages 12–13 and the CWA flower sale on page 3.
