A few of my florist friends and I came up with this as we were sharing stories from over the years. This is just a couple of the reasons, but I'm going to be sharing real stories throughout the next weeks that touched my heart and remind me daily why I love my job!
Reasons to Buy From Your Local Florist
1. We carry a wide variety of flowers all year long.You never know when someone will walk through our door or call needing something special or specific. We keep a diverse selection on hand so we can create the arrangement you need.
2. We’re here when you need us—even when it’s hard.When the weather is terrible, the roads are icy, or temperatures are dangerously cold, we’re still sitting in our businesses, ready to help. Sometimes it’s not a huge order. Sometimes it’s a man who needs one single rose to take to the cemetery on his anniversary. Those moments matter to us.
3. We go wherever we need to go to bring you the freshest, highest-quality flowers.We source flowers locally whenever they’re available. We also purchase from growers throughout the United States and, when necessary, from other countries to make sure we can provide the freshest and best-quality flowers possible. Being a local florist doesn’t mean limited choices, it means having the knowledge and connections to find what you need.
4. Your money stays in your community.We live here. We work here. This is our full time gig. It's how we pay our mortgage and grocery bills. Our businesses pay local and state taxes, employ local people, and support other local businesses. When you shop with your local florist, you’re helping keep your community’s small businesses alive and thriving.
5. We give back because this is our community, too.Local florists donate flowers and arrangements to nursing homes, schools, community organizations, fundraisers, and local families whenever we can. We know our customers, we know our neighbors, and we’re here for the community, not just when there’s a holiday on the calendar.
