Sweet and simple is still a lovely gift of flowers. I see a lot of over the top effort for mind blowing crazy huge floral design and wonder when the last time those florists put that much heart🫶into something sweet and simple. Sometimes our clients can only afford sweet and simple. That can carry just as much emotion as a floral chandelier for a wedding. I am happy to design a loud n large expression of your sentiments, and no less happy to put together a modest but lovely bouquet. It is far more than flowers being delivered every time.💐💝

Another version of the Heckuva Hybrid arrangement. It combines local and import products for the best selection of color, varieties, and textures. Each bouquet is unique, made specifically for your recipient.

Flower Farm highlight🥰🔆🌼Welcome to The Gardens at Dragon Camp in Rochester. Multidisciplinary Creator Susy Olsen gave me a Summer season tour of her urban botanical studio/naturalist lab. There are SO many different varieties of flowers, foliage, shrubs, natives, succulents, vines…it is dense, lush, and beautiful. She helped me harvest a large amount of material for my floral design needs. I was grossly lacking in buckets when I arrived. Included is a local only arrangement that was delivered today made almost exclusively from Dragon Camp flowers. Huge thanks to Susy, Rick, and fur friends for the tour and for the work done with all these splendid plants!

Custom work and collaboration are what we do best. Your ideas and suggestions matter when designing the best floral arrangement to interpret your sentiments.

Made even better with local flowers, this custom creation delivered in every way. We very much appreciate feedback too! It feels good to know sender and recipient were overjoyed with our work.

Local flower farm!! I visited Squash Blossom Farm today to source some colorful blooms for my day’s orders. SBF has a whimsical garden with both vegetables and flowers coexisting, as well as many varieties of flowers around the property. They double as cut stem product and beautiful landscaping for their agrotourism farm. Everyone multitasks on the farm, including the flowers. I left with a bucket brimming with seasonal color and foliage. Squash Blossom Farm is a participating grower with the SE MN Flower Farm Consortium. Check out their pizza events, Meadery, artisan breads and pastries, bean to bar chocolate, and so much more!

Another outstanding example of what local flowers can do for designers. Colors and textures you may not find browsing your import wholesale cooler are growing on professional flower farms in our community. Message me to connect with the SE MN Flower Farm Consortium growers!

Mixed arrangements are rich with color or texture or both! This is a Click Bait arrangement from our website, a Designer’s choice selection. Each one is a unique made just for your recipient. Just click and let us take care of it, no worries!

Sometimes we are called upon to interpret unimaginable sorrow mixed with support and celebration of life. These two arrangements had a very heavy mission to accomplish from across the miles.

Another Summer-laden arrangement exploding with locally grown flowers‼️ The farmers spending their Summers working hard to bring these beauties appreciate your purchases as much as I do❤️🌸

Instagram has been really glitchy so I hope IG scrollers see my fb posts. Not sure what’s going on with that meta dept.

A gift of Get Well cheer that has Summer written all over it💖🌸 Thanks to local growers and , this bouquet is helping someone heal and feel loved. There are over 15 flower producers in the SE MN Flower Farm Consortium, all doing their own unique thing to grow quality flower crops right here. DM me to ask about these farms, how to join the group, their products and how to get them, or which farms invite visitors.

Another lovely vessel of local flowers from some pretty amazing SE MN farmers.

Having local only choices on the website is already popular. This ethereal arrangement is 100% locally sourced florals. Every bouquet is unique, working with what is seasonally available from the participating growers in the SE Flower Farm Consortium.

Here’s a peek at some event flowers from last month. The client had a very specific theme and we met her challenge. It is very satisfying to know our custom work and collaboration helped make events a success.

07/19/2024

Things are still coming up roses here. We delivered these party in pink event flowers to a regular client who loves to entertain. The Tulips & Truffles website is back for anyone trying to order online. We had some truly frustrating tech issues but all should be well now. Limited catalog right now, and also limited delivery hours. Forward steps though!

LOCAL FLOWERS. Let’s meet a couple of our local flower farmers. I visited Bleed Heart Flower Farm & Design of Mazeppa and The Little Flower in Pine Island today. Tony & Allie of Bleed Heart are always so accommodating and have solidly fabulous product. Carol of The Little Flower had some amazing varieties I was overjoyed to try in a custom order. She left me anticipating some future blooms too. Both farms have flower CSA’s, I encourage everyone to treat yo’self or someone you love with flowers.

The season is just starting to ramp up so watch for my visits to other farms in the SE MN Flower Farm Consortium

Local Flowers!! I took a trip to two flower farms in the SE MN Flower Farm Consortium today. Made a custom design with mostly flowers from these professional growers. Client and recipient were thrilled. Client did not want “ordinary.”

“Those are gorgeous! Where did they come from?”
They were grown by professional farmers right here!

The SE MN Flower Farmers Consortium is a network currently representing 17 farms from the Northfield area all the way to WI and IA border areas.

Tulips & Truffles Florist aka Heather 😁has brought these growers together to show off the quality flower crops this region produces. If you are looking for a specific variety or farm, DM Heather here to get connected. Designers: You can discover far more local product than you realize through our consortium. Our growers want to get their flowers in your creative hands. Retail Customers: several farms offer flower CSA’s and we can get you signed up. Many also have events and tours. Growers: If you’re not already with us, you are welcome!

This Spring and Summer Heather will be transitioning from Tulips & Truffles to seasonal, hyperlocal, freelance designing. She will also be collaborating with this new network of dynamic farmers to build a collective presence while they grow their blooming businesses.

Thank you to everyone for seven years of amazing stories, friendships, loyal patronage, heartfelt consolation, incredibly kind reviews and testimonials. Keep following this account page for more on the SE MN Flower Farm Consortium. 💐🌷🌻🌾
