Flowers bring joy to any kind of event – a birthday or anniversary party, a celebration of life, a wedding, or just the girls sitting on the deck for the evening. Why not pickup a bucket or two?
Our DIY Events Buckets shop is open from Mother’s Day through Thanksgiving. Giving us a couple of days notice means Theresa doesn’t have to move as fast (and thats helpful at our age). In the shop you just select the palette you want. At checkout you can select the date you want to pickup your bucket(s). We’ll have it ready.
These are seasonal flowers. We pick the best blooms we have for your date. Our flowers are never sprayed with pesticides and we don’t use synthetic fertilizers. We follow regenerative growing practices and in fact, our flowers have a negative carbon footprint. It means – when you buy our flowers you are cooling the planet!
We don’t guarantee any particular flower. If you have flower specific requests, you are better off working with a designer who imports flowers.
A ‘bucket’ of flowers has approximately 45 – 50 stems (depending on the flower). $120 (+HST) per bucket. Pickup at our farm – St. Agatha, Ontario. No deliveries for bulk buckets. Order as many buckets you need. A bucket contains focal and statement flowers (large attention getters), and smaller dainty ‘filler’ and spray type flowers. Plus we include some interesting foliage, and sparkle or vining flowers to give you lots of design inspiration.
Orders open April 1.
