Because they look better, smell better, they're better for you, and better for the environment! 

Ok so we've established that they're better. But why? The world-wide flower industry is huge. Americans use a lot of flowers, and want every variety year-round. Most of those flowers take quite the trip to make it to your event or kitchen table, and many of them have a not-so-pretty history! The flowers I use in my arrangements are grown using organic practices, so they aren't coated in nasty pesticides. They have never been on an airplane, so they have a much smaller carbon footprint. After a long voyage, flowers look tired and worn. Many don't make the cut when they reach florists, creating large amounts of waste.

There's nothing quite like a fresh-picked bouquet for the beauty, scent, and a feeling of "right-ness" that comes with seasonal flowers. Flowers are always beautiful, but there's a fresh cleanliness that can only come from local, seasonal, sustainably grown flowers.
