💗 Why We Don’t Offer Valentine’s Day Flowers 💗
One of the biggest flower holidays of the year falls right in the middle of winter—when fresh, locally grown flowers are simply out of season. While it’s tempting to join in on the Valentine’s Day rush, we choose not to offer flowers during this time for a few important reasons:
💕 Locally Grown Only – Every flower we sell is grown right here in Dayton, Ohio. We’re committed to providing blooms that are truly fresh and never imported.
❣️ Quality Matters – Many imported flowers are treated with heavy pesticides and chemicals. We believe flowers should be safe to handle and enjoy, without harmful residues.
💞 Ethical Sourcing – The majority of imported flowers come from farms that rely on low wages and poor working conditions. We don’t want to support an industry that doesn’t align with our values.
🌸 Longer Vase Life – Our flowers are harvested at peak freshness, ensuring they last longer in your home. By contrast, many imported blooms spend days in transit and barely make it through the week.
💖 Supporting American Farmers – We believe in the power of buying local and strengthening our own communities rather than relying on mass imports.
💘 Honoring the Seasons – Winter is nature’s time to rest, and we embrace that rhythm instead of forcing out-of-season blooms. Just like fresh peaches and tomatoes taste best in summer, flowers are at their most beautiful when grown in their proper season.
As much as I miss flowers during this time, waiting makes their return in spring even sweeter! If you’re looking for a meaningful, flower-focused gift this Valentine’s Day, why not surprise your loved one with four weeks of flowers instead of just one? A tulip CSA subscription gives them a whole month of fresh, locally grown blooms—because love should last longer than a few days! 💝
