Cut Flowers

a close up photo of a double yellow tulips Our cut flower season starts around the end of April with tulips and daffodils, leading into spring bouquets of sweet william and peonies in the middle of June.
Prime flower time, however, strikes from the middle of July to frost, typically late September. We sell our mixed bouquets primarily at farmers’ markets in Portland and Saco, and some at our farmstand.

Some of the stars of the bouquets include dahlias, sunflowers, zinnias, lisianthus, snapdragons, amaranth, and lilies.

 

The bouquets look different each week, as the flower selection changes.

Event Flowers

If you’re planning flowers for a summer event, we’d love to make your bouquets, but with summer storms and the unpredictable weather, we can never guarantee what we’ll have on a certain date. If you have a flexible vision and like more casual arrangements, we might be a good match; please call Carolyn at 929-8130 ahead of time for more information. We also create beautiful and unusual boutineers and corsages for special events.

Carolyn can also make custom Thanksgiving or Christmas centerpieces.
