Question: What is a flower bouquet subscription?

Answer: It is a series of fresh bouquets that are grown, cut, and arranged by your local flower (me!) and ordered by the flower lover (you!). You order and pay once, and receive a specified number of weekly bouquets.

Question: What are the advantages to ordering a subscription, over, say, buying weekly bouquets?

Answer: I’ll flesh these out in future posts, but among them are 1. It’s easy for you. You order and pay once; you don’t have to remember every week to purchase flowers. 2. A fresh weekly bouquet is a simple ritual that can spark joy into an ordinary week. 3. Our weekly bouquets are so much better and fresher than grocery store bunches, and usually last longer. They’re a great value! 4. Your purchase supports the local farm economy, rather than a huge box store corporation. 5. A weekly bouquet is a simple form of self-care. Ordering a fresh bouquet to grace your dining room table or kitchen counter is a jolt of joy every time your eyes light on it. 6. Fresh local flowers are a thoughtful gift that lasts and delights, for your mother, a friend, or yourself!

I am offering two subscriptions this year:

1. Spring Peony Bouquets! Just when we’re all despairing from a long grey winter and the lack of color (unless you count grey and white as color!?), our fall-sown flowers will begin to bloom. In the midst of the snapdragons, ranunculus, Canterbury bells, and more, the luscious fancy peonies will appear! May is a thrilling time to be a flower farmer, to be sure, as months of work, planning, and anticipation has gone into these blooms! This subscription is made up of 4 luscious bouquets, starring fancy peonies, and if all goes according to plan, will coincide nicely with Mother’s Day!
2. Fall Dahlia Bouquets! To be honest, for months every year, I wonder why I grow dahlias–they are divas and require so. much. stinkin’. work. Then…..just as I begin to despair at how long I’ve been babying them, they begin to bloom, and I remember: Oh yeah. Dahlias are so, so unbelievably gorgeous. That’s why. Celosia, zinnias, rudbeckia, and many other flowers bloom in the fall, too, and compliment the diva dahlias so beautifully. This subscription is made up of 4 gorgeous bouquets, featuring dahlias, and will take us right up to the middle of October.

Question: Okay, I’m tempted. How do fresh flowers make my life better, though??

Answer: You probably know the following reasons already, at least intuitively:

1. Flowers stimulate several chemicals like dopamine, oxytocin and serotonin in our brains. These are the ‘happy’ chemicals. In short–and you already know this–flowers make you happy!)
2. Studies have been done that have shown that handling flowers can make you feel less stressed, as it can lower your blood pressure and heart rate–amazing, eh? Flowers are good for your body, and your body knows it!
3. In fact! Researchers at a Texas A&M University study found that workers were better able to generate ideas, work creatively and solve more difficult problems in workplaces with plants and flowers = flowers boost your creativity!

And you thought I’d simply say “because they’re pretty and smell good!” (Although that is also the case, of course!)

Question: Sounds lovely! How do I sign up?

Answer: Below, you’ll see your choices for spring or fall subscriptions, and your pick-up spot at our farm (south of Milford, NE) or a local delivery for a small additional fee. Choose your season; choose to pick up or get delivery, click, and enter your payment info.

Question: And then what? How will I know when my first flower bouquet is ready?

Answer: I will update you, via email and/or text! When the flowers are ready, I will get in touch with you!
