Hi Facebook and followers of Dahlias!!! :)
It has been a while. I miss the Farmers Market and all of our customers but directions change and like Zolton and I do we followed a different path and ended up trialing flowers at three new locations in the Bay. What was originally going to be one PAK N SAVE turned into two and one New World!!!
We've picked up three new gate sale buyers who order by phone, pay over the internet and stop in and pick up from the front door step. It's that easy! Just ring or text if you need flowers 021 081 81124.
Currently we have Dahlia's flying off our stand located at Handmade in the Bay. We trialed a season with Marie last year and joined up again the week before Christmas 2025. It has been going strong and we'd love to hear back from you if you have been there to visit and bought a bouquet.
This Thursday I will be delivering the first of the Dahlia bouquets to Pak n Save Tamatea, Pak n Save Napier and New World Hastings. This is unknown territory for us but sooooo exciting!
The paddock is blooming (so are the weeds with all of this rain) and bruised petals are a concern but a bit of dead heading will make that right :) They are all so stunning and I am amazed, still, with some of the shape and colour combinations in the bouquets. One customer looked quizzically at me one year when I said yellow and pink don't really go together. She replied yes they do!!!! I stand corrected because even Coralie (pink petals with shots of yellow through the center) backed her up.
Anyway, I hope you get time in your day to visit one of these supermarkets, especially if you were use to buying from us at HB Farmers Market. Don't forget to drop in here and tell me if you did. I'd be tickled.
Natalie.
