While most flowers sold in the USA today are imported, the local flower movement has been gaining traction across the country. More and more people are discovering the benefits of locally grown flowers.

Some great reasons to try local flowers are:

-They are long lasting! Since they skip the international flight and the drive to the grocery store or florist, local flowers last longer in the vase than most of the imports.

-Some flowers don’t ship well. That means local growers can provide flowers not typically seen in the average florists shop. Flowers like Dahlias, Allium, and Zinnias are among those that cannot handle the shipping process without suffering damage.

-Many local growers have committed to pesticide free growing practices. That means the flowers are not only safe for the environment in which they are grown but they are also safe for you! And, of course, they are pollinators friendly and bee approved!
