"Where do your flowers come from?"

A question I get very often is "Where do your flowers come from?".  Fortunately here in ventura county we are lucky to have several flower growers.  The majority of flowers I purchase are grown by local growers, and by myself.  Yes I do grow different types of flowers in my field behing my flower shop.  While I mainly grow "filler" flowers such as daisies, statice, and eucalyptus to name a few, it doesn't get fresher than that.  Fresher flowers mean longer lasting arrangements and bouquets.  In addition to this, buying locally helps me keep my prices down and very reasonable.  Of course there are some flowers that are not grown here locally but these are still available through local wholesalers.
