About Our Flowers
Grown in the field intermixed with our vegetable & fruit crops, our flowers are grown using sustainable & eco-responsible farming methods. We carefully choose varieties that will not only knock your sensory socks off with their vibrant colours and heady perfumes, but have been bred the good old fashioned way over the years for disease resistance & hardiness to our climate. Our vegetable crops benefit from the pollinators attracted to the flowers, and our soil benefits from a careful rotation of crops. This encourages our insect and avian neighbours to do their part in helping us maintain a healthy and balanced garden.
What now seems so incredible used to be the norm—buying beautiful armfuls of flowers grown right down the street. Flowers are another way to remind us of the importance of seasonality and locality in the choices we make as consumers. They are fleeting reminders of the delights of enjoying things each in their own season without resorting to jetting our blooms thousands of miles across the world for a few short days on our table. The beauty of flowers is fleeting, which is of course, part of what makes them so alluring.
Our flowers are harvested & conditioned at most a day, maybe two, before they reach your table. This means they last longer in the vase and are truly at their peak for you to enjoy.
