We believe the solution is right here, in Illinois topsoil.

truly FRESH flowers: harvested and conditioned to maximize vase life and bud count, our blooms bypass the stress and damage of dry storage and long range shipping

​

​more usable stems: with less distance between grower and florist, our blooms arrive in tip-top shape

 

unique varieties: baptisia, foxglove, zinnia, gomphrena, iris; our love for cultivating blooms that surprise and delight our customers keeps us on the perpetual hunt for new crops not available through the larger wholesale distributors
