Why Choose Locally Grown Flowers?
Buying local blooms means you are investing in the current season. As the days grow longer and shorter; as the temperatures rise and fall, you will experience nature in it’s purest form: With the changing scenes of spring, summer, fall, and winter. It means your home or business will reflect the natural beauty around you and you will have the most variety throughout the seasons. This means access to flowers that do not ship well, like fragrant sweet peas, long-lasting zinnias, and intricate dahlias; as well as unique, novelty varieties local farmers specialize in.
Choosing local florals also means your money goes right back into your community and builds your local economy. When you shop with a flower farm like ours, you get access to rare flowers and fillers that you never knew existed, like scented Love in a Puff Vine, specialty Zinnias in a wide range of color varieties including Unicorn and Precious Metals, whimsical Honeywort, and aromatic Pineapple Sage: all pesticide free!
Studies show that having flowers in your home or business has a positive impact on both mood and energy levels! We hope you’ll think local when purchasing floral arrangements for yourself and loved ones and when you’re planning your special life events and self care!
