5 Great Reasons to Join A Flower CSA

  1. Seasonal & Fresh

    When you buy from a local grower, you’ll get a sense of what is growing in your own region and appreciate the seasonality of the flowers. In spring, we wait for the first bulbs to bloom and look forward to peony season; in summer we enjoy the vibrant colors of sunflowers and zinnia, as well as the beauty and sweet aroma of garden roses; and in fall, we await the spectacular display of dahlias. You can experience varieties of flowers you don’t normally find at supermarkets or online. Plus when you buy locally grown, in-season blooms, they’ll likely look and smell fresher and last longer.

  2. Support Pollinators & Biodiversity

    The diversity of plants in a healthy and organically maintained cutting garden offers habitat for bees, insects and birds. Supporting these pollinators improves biodiversity and helps bring balance to the ecosystem.

  3. Wellness & Self-Care

    Several studies show that being around fresh flowers, and plants in general, boosts physical and mental health, as well as emotional wellbeing. Flowers are often used in horticultural therapy; and it has been shown that people who receive horticultural therapy often see improved moods, which increases the body’s ability to heal itself. Joining a flower CSA is not only a treat, it is a form of self-care.

  4. Connect With Nature

    Weekly visits to your local flower farm to pick up your fresh flower bouquet ensures you’re spending time outdoors, connecting with nature. Spending time in and connecting with nature has a grounding effect and helps reduce stress and increase energy, joy and creativity.

  5. Support A Local Business & Build Community

    By purchasing from a local grower, you’ll help them remain in business and support your local economy. When you buy local flowers, you’re helping to support this vital industry. Local farmers often sponsor community events and organizations, so your support helps build local community.
