Seasonality

Locally sourced flowers tend to be seasonal, allowing you to enjoy a diverse array of blooms and boughs throughout the year while minimizing environmental impact. By choosing these flowers, you not only enhance your space but also play a role in promoting sustainable and responsible farming in your area.

Low Environmental Impact

Buying local flowers significantly benefits the environment in several ways. First, it reduces the carbon footprint associated with transportation, as locally grown flowers typically travel shorter distances from farm to consumer. This means fewer emissions from vehicles used to transport blooms across long distances. Additionally, locally grown flower growers often engage in sustainable farming practices, such as crop rotation and organic growing methods, which contribute to healthier soil and ecosystems.

Promoting Biodiversity

By purchasing locally grown, you also encourage biodiversity, as local farmers are more likely to cultivate a variety of native and seasonal flowers rather than mass-produced monocultures. Ultimately, supporting local floriculture helps promote a healthier environment and preserves the unique flora of your region

Supporting The Local Economy

Supporting a local grower contributes to the local economy, fostering community connections and sustainable agricultural practices.

Access To Unique Variaties

One of the ultimate joys of locally grown flowers is the ability to access varieties which simply are not available through other purchasing channels. Impossible to import blooms, and flowers which do not respond well to transportation can often be found on your local flower farmers inventory. If you’ve been coveting dinnerplate dahlias, dancing cosmos or “that” Pantone shade of phlox, you need to contact your local flower grower!
