Farmer-florists are the hot growing trend

I grow varieties that a florist wouldn’t typically find from a wholesaler, heirlooms such as dahlias Gerrie Hoek and Pam Howdenand foxglove Sutton’s apricot. This allows me to differentiate myself and compete with the big guys.” Florist Rebecca De Oliveira, of Blush & Bloom Flower Studio, is buying more of her fresh cut flowers from these farmer-florists as the trend continues. De Oliveira’s enthusiasm was apparent in speaking to us, “I buy a lot from the growing number of small batch growers, and it’s amazing. Their product is far superior to anything we see imported. It’s fantastic!” “Fresh”, “local”, “sustainable” and “unique” are common buzzwords that describe both the trend towards farmer’s markets and farmer-florists. Local growers are bound by the same seasonality as the rest of us gardeners – in about a month Canadian gardeners will be digging up dahlia tubers. Sweet peas can be sown in pots during autumn and overwintered in a greenhouse, and “hardy annuals” such as larkspur and love-in-a-mist can be sown this fall. Many local-grown flowers are available now at local farmers markets. The year-round value of seasonal growers is in the relationships that form between the producers and consumers in a world that has long been dominated by commodified supply chains and major auction houses. “You met my friend Melanie at Dahlia May- she’s the coolest!” exclaimed De Oliveira when we called to talk about this story. Friendships that blossom in business over something as precious as locally grown flowers – isn’t that what this business should be about?
