Growers and buyers game: 'in each other's shoes'
Play the horticultural game “in each other's shoes” devised and tested by the Youth Council of Royal FloraHolland and the Dutch Flower Power Group. The purpose is to organize your sales as well as possible so that you can deliver plants every month as agreed. Who knows how to keep the most money in the bank? It's not going to be easy because things might not work out in the garden, or something might happen to your trade along the way. During this workshop you will play with your customer or perhaps future customer. Recognizable dilemmas you run into as buyer and grower will be discussed.
