Flower Club FAQs
Is Flower Club like a CSA?
It’s only like a CSA in that 100% of the flowers come from small, nearby, sustainable farms. It is *not* like a CSA in a few ways: it’s not farm-direct. I purchase fresh flowers from many different farms to curate a product with the utmost variety and interest. It is also *not* priced like a CSA, which often have more volume and do not have a middle-person (think: bulk sales).
How big are the arrangements?
We don’t prioritize the size of the bouquets; we prioritize showing you as many fun combinations of color palettes with the coolest stuff that’s available week to week. For example, how epic is it to have fresh lavender grown here?? It may be a tiny flower, but it’s unique, fragrant and you can dry it, so we like to splurge on it. So the size may vary slightly but they always come in the same sized vase.
How are local flowers different than grocery store flowers?
Aside from environmental differences in growing methods, grocery store flowers are hardy types that can be stuffed in a dry box and shipped far and wide in mass quantities. Local flowers are cut fresh then transported carefully in buckets of water. Therefore, we can offer you more delicate and interesting types of flowers as we aren’t limited to what can survive dry in a box for a week. We don’t want to give you the same things available everywhere else, anyway.
Who is Flower Club for?
If you want to move through the seasons learning about as many different types of flowers as possible; if you want to support sustainable business and farms; if you want to enjoy the less common and more unique types of flowers you can’t find elsewhere, then Flower Club is for you!
