Why Local Flowers Matter: The Hidden Benefits of Farm-Fresh Blooms

The flowers in most grocery stores and florists have traveled thousands of miles, been treated with preservatives, and sat in cold storage for days or even weeks before reaching your vase. Meanwhile, just outside your town, local flower farms are growing stunning varieties you've never heard of – flowers that can be cut in the morning and in your hands by afternoon. This shift toward local blooms isn't just a trend; it's a return to the way flowers were meant to be enjoyed: fresh, fragrant, and bursting with the unique character of your region.
