1. LOVE LOCAL ROOTS

We are strongly committed to our relationships with nearby farmers and suppliers, and the same is true when it comes to our vibrant community of flower growers. We source as many local plants and flowers as we can when available. This includes everything from Boston Ferns and evergreens to locally grown flowers as they are in season.

2. ORGANIC, OHIO-GROWN FLOWERS

Leslie Garcia is graciously humble and clearly a hard worker. Upon further digging, you realize she is also deeply dedicated to growing certified organic flowers. Her majestic farm, Peach Mountain Organics in Spring Valley, is filled with vibrant colors and unique shapes, such as the geometrically detailed, dazzling dahlias. "We've been certified organic since 1992 and we are certified because we believe in organic so much that we want to be counted," she says. Local grower Nellie Ashmore of That Girl's Flowers is also a certified organic flower grower.

3. A DEEP-ROOTED SENSE OF FLORAL COMMUNITY

Nellie Ashmore (left, above photo) of That Girl's Flowers grew up helping on her parents' certified organic farm, so branching off to farm flowers with the same care was only natural. Along her journey, she connected with fellow local certified organic flower farmer Leslie Garcia (right) of Peach Mountain Organics, and the two have enjoyed a shared appreciation for certified organic flower farming.

4. WE ARE HERE TO BRIGHTEN YOUR DAY 

Flowers have long been sought after for special occasions, and we are here to help you celebrate life's special moments. We also are here to bring a sense of joy to the every day and remind everyone to not wait for that gifting occasion to lift either your own spirits or someone else's.

5. BOUQUETS REFLECTING WHAT'S LOCAL AND IN SEASON NOW

Tracey Rae's stunning local bouquets grown on her farm in Midland, Ohio, are truly something to behold. Tracey, along with our other local flower growers, curates swoon-worthy bouquets reflecting the best of what's in season locally.

6. SUMMER SHINES WITH SUNFLOWERS

As the heat of summer kicks in, we look forward to sunflowers, which are even better when brought to us locally. Deanna Garber of The Flower Farm is one of our local growers. In the spring, she sows the seeds every 7-10 days to ensure a local crop of the flower of eternal summer as long as possible.
