Take a look behind the scenes

Have you ever wondered what flowers have to go through before they reach your hands? There are countless decisions behind the scenes, hundreds of kilometres travelled, and a team of people who work every day to keep our flower system running quickly and smoothly. To help you picture it more clearly, we’re giving you an exclusive look behind the scenes and sharing a few interesting numbers that might surprise you.

We bring flowers to the Czech Republic from 6000 growers

The heart of the global flower industry is undoubtedly Royal FloraHolland, where millions of flowers from more than 6,000 growers are traded every single day. And we’re fortunate to be able to work with all growers operating on this marketplace through a digital platform. Thanks to this, we can offer you the widest selection of flowers, plants, and decorations — all sourced directly from the very best.

How many customers trust us?

While in 2023 we regularly supplied roughly 700 long-term customers, today we work with 750–800 satisfied clients. This growth genuinely makes us happy, because it shows that focusing on quality service, a wide assortment, and reliable logistics truly pays off — for you and for us.

Logistics play a key role for us, as our skilled team ensures that flowers reach you always fresh. In 2023, we delivered flowers to the Czech Republic using 8 trucks operated by 18 drivers. Today, our fleet includes 12 trucks with 26 drivers rotating behind the wheel, allowing for even faster and more flexible delivery.

Can you imagine a bouquet made of 16 million flowers?!

But let’s take a look at the statistics that will probably interest you the most. First, try to guess how many individual flowers we managed to sell in 2023.

The number is truly astounding: 13,500,000 flowers. Now that would be quite a bouquet! But at St. Gabriel, we don’t sit still — we like to outdo ourselves. Over the past two years, we’ve sold a total of 16,605,000 flowers.

And since we know you’d ask anyway, here’s the answer right away: the title of our most popular flower has belonged to the rose for several years in a row.

The fact that we keep growing is clearly reflected in our revenue. In 2023, it reached CZK 433 133 000. A year later, we managed to increase it by another 22.8%, reaching CZK 531 279 000.

And for that, we owe a big thank-you to you — our loyal clients who have trusted us for years. Working with you is the most valuable part of what we do.
