Springtime & Summer Mixed Bouquets - Coming Soon, June 2024
If you follow us or have been a Bouquet Share member, you know we love to craft mixed bouquets of what is in season at that time. No two bouquets are ever the same. Every late winter we start 1000’s of cut flowers. It is our hope that we have an abundance in 2024 and can at times offer mixed bouquets for sale. The main deterrant is the extreme weather of the last several seasons. Hope springs eternal!
The bouquets will be for pickup at our house/headquarters, front porch (313 Newport) for the date you select. They will be on the front porch at 10 am and will be in a black bucket that you can take to keep the flowers in water. Every bucket returned is appreciated as this allows us to continue the service.
We have learned many things about growing flowers in our 6b Michigan climate! The spring blooms (ranunculus and tulips) are typically finished by the end of May. Meanwhile in late January we start the cut flower seeding proceaa. The earliest we can plant our flower seedlings has been around Earth Day, the third week of April Snaps and a few other cool weather flowers go in the ground then. Our issue with June is lack of flowers in bloom! Patience! The Snaps and others won’t be in bloom until the third week of June at the earliest. We will see what kind of spring weather 2024 has in mind!
