The Art of Buying Fresh Flowers
Just as you want your groceries to be fresh, you
should also expect your flowers to be.
Unfortunately, flowers do not have a "best before"
date stamped on them. There is virtually no way of
knowing just how fresh they are, or how long you can
expect your flowers to last.
Essentially the typical supply chain works likes
this... At the end of a flower growers day, all
previously cut flowers that are not sold directly to
consumers like yourself (Direct from the Grower),
are then shipped to auctions or wholesalers
throughout Canada and the United States. These are
in turn sold at a discount to florists who stock
them as inventory in their coolers until they can be
sold to consumers. Therefore, through the
traditional supply channels, consumers often get a
three to five day old bouquet.
Because we cut our flowers every day of the year, we
don't have to maintain a "consumer ready" inventory.
By purchasing your flowers direct from the
greenhouse grower, you receive only the freshest
possible product, guaranteed. The flowers you
receive from our growers have been harvested within
the past 24 hours, and will mature to magnificent
full blooms for maximum enjoyment.
