Flower season is nowhere near being over just yet! This year, we conducted a flower expert interview to provide our customers with some more knowledge of how your purchase supports the local economy and informs them of local flower practices. We’ve got some of the most perfect specimens from Many Graces Flower Farm and Rooted Flower Farm in Hadley. Check out a couple of our local flower vendors and learn why it's important to support local flower growers!
