Why Buying Local Flowers Matters

Flowers have a magical way of bringing warmth and beauty to any space—whether it’s your home, office, or a special gathering. They radiate peace, joy, and a sense of welcome that few other things can offer.

At our Dawson Creek flower shop, the journey of each bouquet starts months in advance. Our seed-starting process begins indoors under grow lights from February and continues through May. By the first week of June, everything is ready to be transplanted out into the field.

Some varieties, like bunny tails, thrive with ease. Others—like the ever-elegant lisianthus—can be a bit more stubborn, putting up quite the fight before they bloom. But that’s part of the process, and it makes every stem feel earned and extra special.

When you choose to buy local flowers, you’re doing more than picking up a bouquet—you’re recognizing the dedication and hard work that goes into growing each bloom. You’re supporting a local grower and helping to cultivate a more sustainable and connected community.

So the next time you see fresh, locally-grown flowers, remember: those blooms are rooted in love, care, and a whole lot of effort. And by bringing them into your space, you’re welcoming all of that beauty right to your doorstep.
