Expanding My Cut Flower Reach with FLOWER FRIDAYS! Making Bouquets to Sell at Work, CSA Plans

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
In today's cut flower gardening video, we're making bouquets to sell at my husband's work! I'm interested in expending my cut flower reach beyond our roadside flower stand. My new goal in selling cut flowers is to acquire customers at my husband's work with Flower Fridays in the hopes of turning them into spring flower CSA customers.

Hi, Danielle: As everyone has said, send them all! It would be interesting to hear from your husband which ones go first. A quick tip for transporting them. I found a plastic tray at Walmart, for free. Their plants arrive in these clear trays that have deep wells and hold the plant secure. I asked if I could take two that they were going to throw away. A mason jar, and other vases, fit snugly and securely in the wells of the plastic trays. In one tray, that has places for 12 items, I put 3 or 4 depending upon the width of the vases once they are filled with flowers. They don't seem to shift or tip in the trunk of my car, but I do have some cardboard flats under them strategically, so they don't slide too much, just to be on the safe side. I don't sell my flowers but often share them to some people and companies in my area. It sure makes the transportation process SO much easier. Hope this tip helps.

I loooove purple! in all shades, although the lighter shades really speak to me the most. For myself I would pick the purple and pink bouquet. But for my mum I would get the deep purple one. She loves those intense colors and that lisianthus is so incredibly gorgeous and mesmerizing.
Most overrated cut flower: roses (especially red ones. yes, it's a classic, but is it really the most beautiful maybe if you have never seen the variety of flowers out there.
Most underrated: carnations. I included white ones in my hairstyle at my wedding and they held up really nicely all day out of the water. And the ones I kept in water at home literally lasted forever.

Danielle, through the tears from Grace, and my laughter, that was THE best video. My husband watched and enjoyed as much as I did.
The flowers are all to die for. I’m having a celosia moment and loved that one. Honestly I couldn’t choose even the dark one was stunning.
The library at night with Ms Glow Eyes just magic. You all made my day. Thank you. Sandi

These bouquets are stunning. Need to grow straw flowers next year. I grow Johnney's Tall Blue Planet Ageratum (Floss Flower) from seed every year. So easy to grow, drought tolerant once established, and blooms right through summer until late fall/hard frost. It hides a multiple of sins like other perennials that have gone over or the base of roses that have lost leaves at the bottom of the bush.

Grace is an absolute riot! Send them all. I like the purple one because it is unique. I am growing floss flower next year, I realized this year there is a tall variety. I always thought it was just that small bedding plant. All my end of the season bouquets are coming out looking like Easter (as my husband noted. but that's ok, it's just my garden color palette.

Grace reminds me so much of a wonderful, wonderful dog I had years ago. His name was Bare, because I barely got him---my husband was not thrilled with a second dog. He was half Weimaraner and half lab and he inherited the best of both breeds. I really see him in amazing Grace.
Of course the bouquets were fabulous, as all your floral endeavors always are!

I would definitely send it with the other bouquets. It is stunning! So beautiful they all are. I grow ageratum 3 different colors. Its a great cut flower. So happy to hear of all your successes you have accomplished! Look how far you have come from the beginning! God is so good! And He has blessed you, girl! Doing a great job teaching all of us!

I love all the bouquets but the all pastel purple with a hint of pink is really gorgeous. I guarantee that would be your biggest seller, people just love purple, especially the pastel purples. I think the most underrated flower is strawflower, I love the look, how easy they are to grow, how long they last and using them dried.

My favorite by far is the 2nd one you made - the peachy pink lisianthus with the peach strawflower and (what I thought was white) lisianthus that you later said was green. That bouquet absolutely spoke to me. I loved the first one you made as well - I am definitely partial to the peach and pink pastel hues.
reply

Hi, Danielle! Beautiful! A couple questions if you don't mind sharing - what type of business does your husband do Are there a lot of employees or potential customers And, how much are you charging for the bouquets - I'm afraid you aren't charging enough given how complex and beautiful they are! Very inspiring.
reply

Danielle your bouquets are so beautiful, how could anyone resist You grow the most gorgeous flowers I've ever seen, too bad your on East coast, never seen such beautiful bouquets out here in Ca. Grace is so cute playing with that paper like a little puppy, hope you have lots of success in your flower sales!

Just curious. Did BH&G ask you to do things a certain way in preparation for the shoot. Asking because it seems they loved your garden enough to ask you to be in the magazine, but since the announcement it seems so much of your garden is being changed for the shoot, including eliminating your flower stand sales
reply

They were all so beautiful but if I had to choose it was the 2nd time you made the mixed bouquet. I’ve yet to grow lizzies but wow you make me want to. So the small green buds were lisianthus, correct Which bouquets sold first and do you share what you priced them as Thank you, love your videos.
reply

i want one of each variation you made your bouquets are so beautiful! i grow tons myself but i lived near you i would still participate in your CSA, because the varieties and the way you arrange them are so stunning and unique. i often take notes when i watch you thank you for sharing your knowledge!
reply

Hi Danielle. My personal favorite bouquet is the green and peach one. The purple is a close second. The fact that it is fragrant might make it equal. Just remember. Different strokes for different folks. These will each be going to someones individual home. So they will not need to coordinate.
reply

They are all beautiful! Send the dark one too! Often what I think is my least favorite turns out to be someone else's first pick! Beautiful flowers! You do a great job of arranging! As a cut flower farmer myself I admire your talent and ease of putting beautiful arrangements together!

I like the purple one. send all of them. Gorgeous bouquets. What was the price on those I think you'll enjoy the change. I also need a change. farmers market is getting old after 12 years. Selling some to florists. hoping to find a different path with flowers. Hi Grace!
reply

Loved them all and I am a purple lover, but the mixed bouquets were my favorites. Maybe the purple with a bit more of the lovely strawflowers and more of the green foliage, perhaps. Your flowers are always beautiful. Thanks for sharing a lovely arboretum tour.
reply

Send it! It shows you can do different bouquets for different people. It's beautiful and some people, including myself, like to have a one color bouquet. It shows versatility in your design and accessibility in what different people may desire. I love them all.
reply

I get such a kick out of Grace’s obsession with paper and cardboard. What a sweet girl she is. ALL of the bouquets are beautiful. Everyone has different tastes. Someone will prefer that purple one over the others. Send everything.
