I’ve been diving into the benefits of using locally sourced flowers for events, and it’s been eye-opening. Not only do they support our local farmers, but they also reduce the carbon footprint since they don’t need to travel far. I recently visited a farm that uses organic practices, and the freshness of the blooms was incredible. Anyone else here have experiences or tips on integrating local flowers into their work?
I totally get what you’re saying about the freshness! I once bought flowers from a local pop-up and they lasted twice as long compared to the ones from a big box store. It’s like the difference between a home-cooked meal and takeout — there’s just no comparison.
I’ve noticed the same thing with local blooms! They just seem to have more life. 
If you’re ever curious, check out @taylor_bouquet22’s local farm; they have great organic options.
