You can chose your pick-up location at check out. In general flowers are delivered between 10am-noon, but be sure to tell us any important details in the notes section (such as if you have to have them bf 11am or you won't be able to pick them up until 4pm). We will let you know when they are ready for pick-up.

These are a gift. Do you deliver?

We are offer free delivery to any *business address* in the immediate Amelia Court House Village Area (including the schools).

To be very frank - I'm a flower farmer, not a UPS or Amazon driver...delivering to houses I don't know feels sketchy & I often have a tiny human in tow. We mostly sell direct to Florists & Designers but are trying to meet the logistical challenges of meeting local demand. I appreciate your understanding of our delivery limitations . Also, it is extremely helpful for us if you can provide your recipient's phone number in case they are not where you thought they would be on delivery day so that we can contact them to make alternate plans!

Amelia is also a small town - so if I know you well, or know your momma ;) I might be willing to do it. I might also be willing to deliver outside of the village area if I happen to be going that way. Just fill out the request form or send me an email - it never hurts to ask.

Can I pick my order up at your farm?

Large & special orders can be picked up by request/appointment. Otherwise, no. This is a working farm & we are not open to the general public at this time.

What kind of flowers will I get?

All of our flowers are “Grower’s Choice” Let us surprise you! We think you’ll love our mixes! If you do need certain colors for a wedding/theme, please let us know - we will do our best to work with your color palette.

Can I come to your farm to pick my own flowers, just look around, or take pictures?

Not at this time.

I tried to enter a delivery address but the website won't work.

Most likely the address you entered was more than 5 miles away from the Amelia County Court House. The delivery area is automatically set to only accept addresses in the immediate village area.

How do I pay?

You can pay by credit card, cash or check. When submitting an order request or waitlist order you will have the option to choose. For credit/debit, you will receive a payment link via email. If you prefer paper invoices & checks I can do that too; it's not a problem.

I want flowers for an event 2 months from now - what will you have?

Good question! I can give you a general idea of what will be blooming around your desired date, but all of our flowers are subject to mother nature's whims. That's part of the the beauty of local flowers! You can also check out our "What Blooms When" Gallery.

Can I order same-day flowers?

Not usually. It's best you order at least 1-2 days in advance.

Can I add a card?

Of Course! Trust me, they want to know who the flowers are from! Just add a note with your order and tell us what you'd like it to say.

How soon should I expect my order?

If you have not requested a certain date in advance, then please give us at least 24 hours. We are raising a tiny human. We do our best to respond to messages & process all orders quickly, but boo boos & toddler meltdowns are real. 😃 Plus, sometimes it’s just raining.

All I see on the website are mixed bouquets. Do you do special orders? Graveside remembrance posies? Corsages? I only need a few loose stems for a special bud vase?

I do. Pricing varies depending on what you would like. Please fill out a request form.

I need a lot of flowers! I’m [doing my own wedding flowers] [having a big party] [doing flowers for my church].

Gotcha covered! You can order bulk flowers in 5 gallon buckets! We offer "Grower's Choice" which is the best of what's blooming, or a "Pick Your Own Color Palette" option. Stems per bucket may vary but are typically 60-65 stems. In general, 1 bucket makes ~2 large arrangements, or ~4-5 small arrangements,

What’s the best way to keep my flowers fresh?

DO:

Keep water in your vase!
Change their water! If the water looks dirty or cloudy - clean your vase and give them some fresh water :)
Use that cute packet of flower food. They like that.
Cut the bottom off of their stems every few days.
Keep them cool. They like air conditioned rooms.
Corsages and edible flowers should be kept in air tight containers in the fridge as long as possible.

DON’T:

Don’t let them run out of water!
Keep them away from heat and direct sunlight. No sunny windows or hot cars.

Do you grow roses & baby's breath?

Nope.

I have a different question.... What's the best way to reach you?
