With the Calvert Direct program, retailers can also buy additional
product for a special event at or near the standing order pricing, including products not on the standing order.
Lastly, Calvert Direct participants can try new products without making a full commitment to confirm the product will
work in each shop.

Calvert Events
The Calvert Events program has been designed to cater to
floral industry needs centered around a specific event. Many large-scale events are difficult for retailers
to service because of space constraints and short-term quality and availability concerns. With Calvert Events,
retailers can say YES to large events because they can expect:
- Our outstanding fill rate: Our seasoned customer service staff will strive to fill your order, seeking product from multiple farms in multiple locations.
- Our consistent quality: By ordering farm direct and maintaining Cold Chain compliance, the Calvert Events staff is able to procure product that is fresher, younger and more lasting.
- Our spacious and well-equipped work area: If your event is bigger than your space can handle, join many other Calvert Events customers in using our 50,000 square foot space complete with temperature controlled coolers for storage, design space and access to our floor stock.
