As the growing season winds down, we’ll be taking a step back from posting as often on social media for a little while. But Local Blooms is still here, and we’re always happy to hear from you!

Some of our growers still have beautiful fresh flowers available, so if you’re lucky enough to have local flowers growing near you, now is a wonderful time to support them before frost arrives.

We’re also hoping to have more dried flower arrangements, wreaths, and other gifts made from locally grown flowers available soon, so keep checking back!

Most of all, thank you. Thank you for helping us grow this season, for supporting small flower growers, and for believing that where our flowers come from matters. Every order, kind word, and shared post has meant so much to us.

We’ll still be here if you need anything! You can always reach us at [email protected].

With gratitude,
The Local Blooms Team

This is what local can look like.

When we buy flowers grown in our own communities, we’re supporting the people who live and work around us. We’re keeping more of our dollars close to home. And we’re supporting growing spaces that can provide food and habitat for the bees, butterflies, and other pollinators we share our neighborhoods with.

Compare that with a bouquet grown thousands of miles away.

We probably don’t know who grew it. We may not know what pesticides were used along the way, or what impact growing, treating, refrigerating, packaging, and transporting those flowers had before they reached us.

Flowers don’t have to be disconnected from the places where we live.

They can be part of our neighborhoods. Part of our local economy. Part of the little ecosystems right outside our doors.

Maybe that bee really did have something to do with the flowers on your table. 💛

Your choice of flowers matters.

Swipe to see who grew each of these lovely bouquets

There’s something pretty special about knowing the person who planted the seeds, cut the stems, and made the bouquet in your hands.

And in many parts of the country, the local flower season is almost over. If you’ve been meaning to buy local, now is the time.

Where you spend your money matters. Every local bouquet supports a grower, keeps more dollars in your community, and helps make locally grown flowers possible.

🌼 Shop Local Blooms: enter your delivery address, find growers near you, and choose a bouquet grown close to home.

Your choice makes a difference—one bouquet at a time. 💐

What if a bouquet could change the world?

When you choose locally grown flowers, you’re choosing so much more than something beautiful.

You’re supporting a small farmer or backyard grower in your own community.
You’re choosing flowers that didn’t have to travel thousands of miles to reach you.
You’re helping create a flower industry that values seasonality, sustainability and connection.
And you’re keeping more of your money close to home, supporting real people doing work they love.

One bouquet won’t change everything.

But thousands of us making a different choice just might.

That’s why we started Local Blooms—to make choosing locally grown flowers as easy as choosing any other bouquet.

To shop, visit Local Blooms and enter your address. We’ll show you growers and bouquets available near you. Choose your flowers, order directly through the marketplace, and your bouquet will be prepared by a grower in that community for local pickup or delivery.

And you can send flowers to someone you love in another city, too—just search using their address instead of yours.

Beautiful flowers. Grown by real people. Closer to home.

We believe we really can change the world, one bouquet at a time.

We’ve gotten used to having whatever flowers we want, whenever we want them.

Roses in January. Tulips in September. Peonies in November.

It feels normal because we’ve built a global flower industry capable of making it happen.

But that convenience has a cost.

To give us flowers year-round, flowers may travel thousands of miles before reaching our tables. They can require refrigeration, air freight, packaging and an enormous amount of energy just to make something highly seasonal feel seasonless.

And there are costs we don’t see as easily—the people growing and handling those flowers, the chemicals used in production, and the small local growers competing with a system designed to make us believe flowers should always be available.

Maybe the answer isn’t to stop buying flowers.

Maybe it’s to change what we expect from them.

To look forward to tulips because it’s spring.

To treasure dahlias because we know their season is short.

To discover varieties we’ve never seen in a grocery store because someone nearby decided to grow them.

There’s something beautiful about letting flowers belong to a place and a season.

Convenience gives us everything, all the time.

Seasonality gives us something to look forward to.

And I think we’ve lost a little of that.

What if, instead of asking “What flowers do I want?” we started asking, “What’s blooming near me right now?”

That’s the idea behind Local Blooms.

Want to see what’s growing near you? Visit Local Blooms, enter your address, and browse flowers available from growers in your area. Choose a bouquet, select pickup or local delivery when available, and buy directly from a grower in your community.

A reminder that the dream itself is the reward. The work, the creating, the trying, the building of something you care about- that’s the good stuff.

Happy first day of autumn.

There’s something bittersweet about this time of year for flower growers. The garden is still giving us so much, but we can feel the season beginning to turn.

And before everything gets cleaned up, dug up, cut back or covered in frost, there are a few things worth doing now.

Dry some flowers.

If you want to offer dried arrangements this winter—or just have flowers to enjoy when the garden is sleeping—start preserving some of what’s blooming now. Hang bundles, press flowers, save interesting seed heads and experiment with what dries well. Your November self will be very glad you did.

Write down what happened this year.

What grew beautifully? What struggled? What surprised you? What did customers love? What did you have way too much of—or never enough of?

Write down the challenges while you still remember them, along with the successes. Make notes about what you want to grow more of, less of, or not at all next year. And especially write down what you want to do differently.

Label your tubers and seeds.

I am notoriously terrible about this. I plant my dahlias with the best intentions, lose the markers somewhere along the way, and then dig them in the fall and put them into bags labeled “SURPRISE.”

Every. Single. Year.

So my resolution this fall is to tie a tag around the base of each plant BEFORE frost. Then when I dig the tubers, I might actually know what I’m storing.

And finally: plan next year NOW.

Someone once told me the best time to plan next year’s garden or flower farm is at the end of this season—when you’re tired.

Because tired-you is realistic.

January-you is rested, optimistic, bored, surrounded by shiny seed catalogs and absolutely convinced there is room for 40 varieties of zinnias.

So before you forget how much work this season actually was, make a plan.

What worked?
What didn’t?
What was worth the space?
What wasn’t?
What do you want more of next year?
And what are you giving yourself permission NOT to grow again?

Autumn isn’t quite the end of the growing season.

It’s the beginning of the next one.

Happy fall, flower friends.
