Reaching Your Flower's Potential with Dennis Wheeler of Chrysal

In this episode, we dive into the world of flower care, exploring products to ensure the well-being of blooms before they reach our valued clients. My guest has an impressive career spanning nearly forty years in the horticultural industry. Dennis Wheeler currently serves as Sales Manager with Chrysal a global leader in post-harvest care for the past 29 years. Dennis embarked on his professional journey at a renowned greenhouse grower, where he dedicated himself to refining his expertise in the field.

Working in production, Dennis acquired invaluable hands-on experience and developed a profound understanding of the intricate processes involved in the cultivation and nurturing of plants. Dennis then transitioned into the world of sales where he spent three years with a prominent fresh cuts importer from Colombia, which provided him with the opportunity to expand his knowledge of the flower industry and cultivate key relationships. Dennis has become a trusted expert, consulting growers, wholesalers, and retailers on post-harvest care and handling.

So, let's get started, we're talking all things Chrysal, and learning how to unlock the full potential of our flowers! Learn more about Dennis and Chrysal, plus all of our past guests by visiting TheFlowerPodcast.com
