Local Flowers, Big Impact

What Makes Local Flowers So Special?

There’s just something different about local flowers — and once you’ve had them, it’s hard to go back. They’re fresher, more unique, and full of personality. They have a story behind them. You can get to to know the farmer who grew them. When you grab a bouquet from a local farm, you're not just getting pretty blooms — you're supporting local growers and getting a little piece of the season, right from the source.

Of course, imported flowers are available year-round, but local flowers reflect the natural rhythm of the seasons. Peonies in spring, sunflowers in late summer, dahlias in fall — each one marks a moment in time. That kind of beauty feels more real, more grounded, and definitely more special.

Few people realize the huge carbon footprint associated with imported flowers that travel thousands of miles, are heavily sprayed with pesticides and chemicals and sit in cold storage. Conversely, our local flowers are cut fresh and delivered quickly. Instead of adding to the carbon footprint, we are helping the environment by improving the biodiversity of our ecosystem, improving soil health and creating a nature oasis for pollinators. Local flowers also means blooms that last way longer in a vase, plus cool unusual varieties you won’t find at the grocery store. Some blooms like cosmos and zinnias don’t transport well due to their delicate nature so locally grown is the only way to find some of these special blooms.

But buying local flowers isn’t just about the pretty blooms — it’s about making a choice that supports something bigger. Every time you buy local flowers, you’re helping a small farm like ours grow and thrive. It’s a direct way to support people in your community who care deeply about what they grow.
