Sometimes you need flowers, whether they are for birthdays, weddings or corporate parties, flowers will add such a beautiful ambience to the space, or simply just help to put a smile on someone’s face. As you begin to pick and choose which florals you would like to include into your arrangements, you should certainly consider the quality to ensure you get your money’s worth, as well as a beautiful outcome.
Purchasing flowers seems simple; you visit a florist, go over ideas and pick up your lovely arrangements. However, it is quite the opposite! Not anyone can just grow a flower, it takes a lot of time, energy and dedication to make sure that each and every bloom is produced to perfection.
If you are seeking to obtain flowers that not only look and smell beautiful, but will also offer freshness and great quality, then buying them from a local grower is a must! Texas Blooms & Gifts has gathered the top 3 reasons as to why you should purchase your flowers locally, so be sure to continue reading to gain some insight:
- Tender loving care. Yes, you plant the seeds and the flowers grow, but did you ever take into consideration the amount of work that actually goes into creating a beautiful and healthy flower? Weeds, watering and harvesting all go into the mix of a successful outcome, so TLC is certainly a necessity when it comes to each and every bloom.
- When purchasing florals from local growers, you can have confidence in knowing that they dedicated so much time and energy into the growth of their flowers. Their business strives on the success of their product as most are small businesses, so their reputation for beautiful quality flowers is crucial.
- Local growers also work closely with their flowers. Know that the flowers you receive will be healthy and fresh, just as nature intended them to be.
- Safe Travels. It is entirely common sense that your flowers will stay more fresh if their journey from the ground to your arrangements is as short as possible.
- When you purchase flowers locally, you will receive blooms that were just freshly cut and transported directly to you. The less your flowers travel, the more desirable they will be in appearance, fragrance and of course, life expectancy!
- Insect friendly. When you utilize local growers for your florals, you can be happy knowing that you helped the life of bees and other insects.
- Bees love flowers, and they are honestly an important part of their growth. The flowers assist insect populations by proving homes to bees as well as other various insects. And who doesn’t love a free and great pollinator?!
