Vashto Flowers is a family-owned business, specialising in the production and wholesale distribution of fresh flowers and pot plants to some of the largest retailers in South Africa. Ideally located just off the N1 between the two Stellenbosch off-ramps, its central position makes it easily accessible to main transportation and distribution routes, contributing to the impressive growth of the business. James and Joy Armitage cultivated their passion for flowers into what began as a small-scale business venture in 2009. James’ farming qualifications and experience helped him to achieve impressive growth of a range of flower varieties. His wife, Joy, quickly got involved and later took over the business. At present, the business is run by Joy assisted by her right hand lady Mary-Anne and with James assisting on a consultancy basis on the farming side.
