Why buy local?
Your flowers were picked fresh from the field the day of or day before they get to you—Not picked then trucked to a warehouse in some other country, then shipped to Miami, then shipped to a wholesaler, then to you. Imported flowers are already past their prime by the time you can get them—dry packed (no water) for days while in transit.
Locally grown:
1. Helps your local farmer
2. Helps your local economy
3. Gives you REAL freshly harvested flowers which
4. Reduce the carbon footprint of shipping from another country or region
5. Are usually more healthy because small, local farmers are mostly growing herbicide/pesticide-free
6. Gives you options of seasonal flowers that are too delicate to ship
These flowers were harvested on my farm and in the hands of florists within hours, not days.
If you are a local florist or event planner and would like to purchase local flowers, reach out to 💐 Nashville Cut Flower Collective
We are a group of several middle Tennessee flower farmers, each growing exceptional, seasonal local flowers.
The lisianthus you see in these photos are taking a break but we will have more in a couple of weeks. I’ve had lisianthus last 3 weeks in the vase—they are amazing cut flowers!
