Why choose flowers that are in season and Australian grown?

Choosing what’s in season, and grown locally, supports growers, reduces environmental impact, and brings a natural rhythm and meaning to the day.

Supporting Australian farmers and communities

Buying Australian grown flowers keeps your dollars in the local economy.

It supports hardworking flower growers, many of whom are small family run farms, and helps preserve farming knowledge and jobs in regional areas.

Better quality, longer lasting

Grown naturally at the right time, in season flowers retain their vibrant colours, textures, and overall strength for longer periods, offering a more enduring beauty than out of season varieties.

Their freshness and durability make them ideal for arrangements and bouquets.

Lower environmental impact

In season flowers are typically field grown, reducing the need for artificial heating or other resources required to grow flowers out of season.

This makes them more environmentally friendly, as they require fewer energy inputs and help lower carbon footprints. Additionally, many seasonal flowers are grown locally, minimising the environmental cost of long distance transport.

Emotional connection to time and place

Certain flowers bloom at specific times of the year, creating memories, nostalgia, or connections to a particular place or person.

Whether it's the Forget-me-nots of spring or the lush Hydrangeas of summer, in season flowers can trigger emotional moments tied to the seasons, helping us to reconnect with loved ones or cherished times in our lives.
