"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.

Valentine's Day 2012

February 14th is one of the busiest days for florists.  It is also one of my favorites because I get to create so many different arrangements and bouquets.  I am now accepting orders for both delivery and pick-up.  Feel free to call and place your order, or stop by if you would like.

Whichever florist you choose to use, here are a few tips :

On a strict budget? Let your florist know what type of flowers or colors you are looking for and your budget as well. 

Order early!
More options are available if you place your order early.

Deliveries:
Make sure you have the exact address.  Remember that this is a VERY busy day for deliveries, if you want to place a "special" order do it as soon as possible.  If it is a proposal or a time sensitive delivery let your florist know. 

Happy Valentine's Day!
