Why choose flowers that are in season and Australian grown?

Supports Australian Farmers and Communities - Buying Australian grown flowers keeps your dollars in the local economy. It supports hardworking flower growers, many of whom are small family-run farms, and helps preserve traditional farming knowledge and jobs in regional areas.

Quality- Grown naturally at the right time, in season flowers retain their vibrant colours, textures, and overall strength for longer periods, offering a more enduring beauty than out-of-season varieties. Their freshness and durability make them ideal for arrangements and bouquets.

Environmental impact- In season flowers are typically field-grown, reducing the need for artificial heating or other resources required to grow flowers out of season. This makes them more environmentally friendly, as they require fewer energy inputs and help lower carbon footprints. Additionally, many seasonal flowers are grown locally, minimising the environmental cost of long-distance transportation.

Emotional connection- Certain flowers bloom at specific times of the year, creating memories, nostalgia, or connections to a particular place or person. Whether it's the Forget-me-nots of spring or the lush Hydrangeas of summer, in season flowers can trigger emotional moments tied to the seasons, helping us to reconnect with loved ones or cherished times in our lives.
