What we offer our Wedding Clients:
Looking for 'Locally Grown' or 'Sustainably Grown'? We offer more than the usual florist affair. We are Specialty Cut Flower Growers. We make individual designs to satisfy the most discerning Bride. Bright colors or neutral and natural, all are unique designs. Come to us for 'Wildflowers' and personal service. "We are Your Local Flower Farmers."

Each week we offer a lovely selection of seasonal, locally grown flowers.

What we cannot do for Wedding Clients:
  • We can not supply out of season flowers. We currently have a wide selection  of flowers. Plenty to fill most any wedding order.
  • We do not grow roses. However, like any florist we order them as needed.
  • Guarantee a specific flower, due to Mother Nature. We rarely substitute. We can guarantee a look, a style and a color.
  • Keep in mind this is our profession. Feel free to call us with what you are looking for! Susan will happily consult on any sort of full service wedding or designs she might make for you. Much of the information for ordering buckets and the calculations are on this site. Just call if you don't see it. DIY means you are the floral designer, with all that entails.
  • Tours of our fields. Due to Liability and time constraints. You can however, view our current flowers at the nursery on Friday afternoon or at the Farmers Market Saturday. Most years we offer one free open house day for visits. Check our blog posts and Facebook.
