My jaw dropped when I entered their new location because tell me how, in San Francisco, we have the largest wholesale flower market in Northern California. They really outdone themselves with the space! First of all, to enter, you need to come through the parking garage on the Mississippi entrance. If you have a car, they do have a paid parking garage you can park at.
Walk to the very back to find the entrance. They have public hours and badge-member only hours:
Public Hours
Monday : Closed
Tuesday: Closed
Wednesday: 8am-2pm
Thursday: 8am-2pm
Friday: 8am-2pm
Saturday: 8am-2pm
Sunday: Closed
Wholesale Badge Hours
Monday : 6am-12pm
Tuesday: 4am-12pm
Wednesday: 4am-12pm
Thursday: 5am-12pm

Saturday: 6am-11am
Sunday: Closed
Just to note: you need to be a small business owner or be with an organization to even apply for a badge ($175/year).
When you walk in, it smells so heavenly. I honestly haven't been inside a building that smells so good before and they have hundreds of thousands of flowers! And also tools for flower arrangements, pots, etc. There are even huge refrigeration units you can walk into if you're looking for plants that are more sensitive to their environment (i.e tropical plants).
And don't forget the upstairs! They don't have all their vendors yet, but when I went, there was a whole section for houseplants (including air plants!) and also a whole corner for orchids. I bought myself a beautiful orange orchid I never see at grocery stores and it was pretty tall too! For $20.
I'll definitely be back here again!
