A series of events has led us to be short on particular flowers grown elsewhere in the world.

Luckily, for us on the west coast, we are able to access locally grown flowers year-round, but this means that if you are hoping for a specific flower from your florist, you may not get it.

When ordering your flowers, ask for locally grown blooms to support flower farmers in your community and province.

Have a particular vision in mind? Allow your florist to get creative with what they are able to access. This goes for weddings, too.
