Frequently Asked Questions:

How are your flowers different?

Locally grown flowers are cut at the last possible moment to meet your event's schedule. It's hard to explain how amazing fresh cut flowers are. When you compare local blooms to those that have been shipped hundreds of miles in tight boxes, there really is no contest. We use proper and appropriate post-harvest care methods, but avoid dangerous chemicals. So that you can breath deeply and smell them safely. We store our cut flowers and designs in a large walk-in cooler. Our flower varieties are seasonally appropriate to the Adirondacks and New England- and they are often un-source-able from wholesale distributors. We love to grow the special things that make our clients’ events unique. In particular, we love heirloom species that aren’t widely available. We are part of the growing seed-to-vase movement, and we grow and nurture uncommon and uncommonly beautiful flowers. We have extensive collections of flowers, and we're always adding more to the farm. From romantic sweet peas to hundreds of dahlias - our flowers are anything but ordinary. Our lead grower is an alumna of Floret Flower Farm's on-farm workshop program, and we're members of the Farmer-Florist Collective, the Association of Specialty Cut Flower Growers, and Women Who Farm. Linda studies with industry-leading designers in the US and internationally. She has been named on of just 4 Founding Ambassadors to the Sustainable Floristry Network.

Which flowers are available on my date?

Our wedding and event flowers are seasonal, which means that your event will have the freshest flowers perfectly matched to your date. From rare specialty tulips and daffodils in the spring, to peonies, garden roses, double lilies, and then finally dahlias and heirloom chrysanthemums in the fall. We grow hundreds of different kinds of flowers here. Every one of them is suited to our climate and seasonally appropriate. We design with the flowers that are in bloom and we meet our client’s color preferences.

How do I choose the flowers for my event?

We are going to take care of that for you! We’ll meet your color palette with the flowers that are blooming here on our farm when we harvest for your event. See the question above for some ideas. We do not promise certain flower varieties. The vagaries of nature make that pretty much impossible.

What do the designs look like?

Please visit the event floral design page under our Shop menu. You’ll find samples of our work there.

I don’t see an item I want on the event shop list? Can I special order it?

We’re sorry, we’re not able to offer additional items at this time. We’ve fine tuned our list to include the kinds of designs that we make well and often and that can be safely picked up and transported by our clients. This is a “we trust you to make your art” kind of service. Please do not contact us and request different/additional items. We recognize that our service is not for everyone and that’s OK! If you’re looking for a more hands-on experience there are some really wonderful conventional florists in our area who may be able to help you.

Can you deliver and install my order if I pay extra?

Sorry, we are currently only offering our a la carte web shop items with pick up at our farm. We’re reclaiming some family time on the weekends in 2023 and beyond.

What if there is a weather disaster and all of your crops are ruined?

Our services begin here on our studio’s farm, but we will never sacrifice your event or happiness on the rare occasion that unpredictable weather damages our crops. If our plants fail, we go next to other local growers whom we know and trust. If we can't find what we need at their farms, we go to the regional floral wholesale distributor in Burlington, VT - the same place local conventional florists source all of their flowers from, and we will select flowers and greens that make sense for your style and our location. There is no change in price for the addition of bought-in flowers in these circumstances. Fortunately, this has never happened.

How do I reserve your floral design services?

Your order is confirmed when it is placed on our website. It’s as simple as that! Please wait until you have a clear sense for the items you’d like to order. You can also place an additional order(s) if you need to add more items.
