Why Buy Flowers From A Floral Shop Versus A Grocery Store?

You find yourself pushing a shopping cart along the produce aisle, happily checking off your shopping list of fresh produce, when suddenly your nose and eyes come across lovely colorful blooms of flowers looking up at you seeming to say "Buy me, I'll make your table at home bright & cheery." You glance at the price, and it's a good one. So you take a bunch of flowers from the grocery store. Upon arriving home, you slip the flowers into a vase, set them on the table and smile down on their lovely little faces... faces that wilt within the next day and droop, dropping their petals all over your table. Why? Why did they fade and die so quickly? Well, because you didn't buy them fresh, that's why. Grocery store flowers aren't fresh. Read on and you'll find out why.

The Upsides Of Buying Flowers From a Grocery Store


Believe me, WE GET IT! It's so convenient to buy flowers from the grocery store. (We've done it ourselves a few times when we were in a rush.) So what's the big deal? Who cares where you buy your flowers and why does it even matter at all? Aren't all roses and flowers just that? Just flowers? The answer is actually no. Nope. Nada. 

You Get What You Pay For When It Comes To Flowers


You know the old saying "You Get What You Pay For?" Well this is especially true when buying flowers.

The more a flower cost, usually the fresher it is. Meaning it will last longer for you on your table. (Ours are freshest!)

The Down Side of Buying From A Grocery Store

 

When you buy from a grocery store, those flowers have usually been in a warehouse storage cooler for around 3 weeks, sometimes longer, before getting to the grocery store, where they sit until you buy them. By the time you get it home and put it into a vase, it's already been cut and sitting around for days & days! No wonder they will only last a couple days for you on your table.

The Freshest Flowers Ever From Our Flower Shoppe


When you buy flowers from our Flower Shop, we get our flowers direct from the grower. Which means that the flowers are cut and shipped direct to our shop. When we open the box, we can still smell the sun and aroma of the flower farm in the box! This means that the flowers you see in our cooler, are so fresh they've often times been cut the day before. Can a grocery store provide this kind of freshness?

Direct From The Flower Farmer To Your Table


Try our flowers out. See if ours outlast grocery store flowers. 
Because our flowers are so fresh, we provide a guarantee. If they don't perform & last in your vases, then we'll replace them. That is what you get when buying top-of-the-line flowers from us.

Tip: How To Make Snapdragons Stand Straight & Rigid in a Vase

Like many long stemmed flowers, Snapdragons at times grow all curvy. (Which sometimes is a fun look) There's a super simple trick to getting the stems to stand straight-as-a-board: 1. Clip off about two inches from the bottom of the stem and place in your vase of water. 2. Pinch off a nubbins from the top tip of the flower. (About a fourth inch.) 3. Let the stems soak in the water for a few hours. After that- you'll see how straight the stems become. It's magical! We sell flowers from our coolers that you can take home and arrange yourself. Stop by today to get some.
