The Benefits of Sourcing Local

The Benefits of Sourcing Local

There is something incredibly special about locally grown flowers. Not only do they add a unique touch of charm and beauty to any occasion, but they also support local farmers and businesses. When you choose to purchase flowers that are grown in our community, you are not only making a more environmentally conscious decision, but you are also helping to stimulate our local economy!

One of the biggest benefits of locally grown flowers is that they are often much fresher than those that have been shipped from faraway places. This means that they are more likely to last longer and look their best for longer periods of time. Additionally, because they are grown locally, they are less likely to have been treated with harmful pesticides and other chemicals that can be harmful to both humans and the environment.

Another great thing about locally grown flowers is that they are often much more unique than those that are mass-produced and shipped across the country. Local farmers and florists are often able to offer a wider variety of flowers that you might not be able to find at your local grocery store or traditional florist. This means that you can create truly unique and personalized bouquets and arrangements that reflect your personal style and taste.

Here at KAE, we strive to source a minimum of 90% of our blooms from local partners. We even grow about 5-10% of our own ingredients & blooms! The flowers are happy, the pollinators are happy, the people are happy! So the next time you need some flowers for a special occasion or just to brighten up your home, consider going local with KAE!
