The Summer Round

Six weeks of locally grown flowers delivered at the height of summer, when the garden starts showing off.

By mid-July, restraint disappears. The first dahlias begin opening in colors that barely look real. Roses keep producing through the heat. Cosmos float above everything, strawflower adds its papery texture, celosia twists into strange velvety shapes, and the first sunflowers start turning their faces toward the light. Every week feels fuller than the last.

This is the season people tend to picture when they imagine flower farming, but what I love most about it is how surprising it can be. One week might feel airy and meadow-like with cosmos and grasses. The next might lean bold and sculptural with dahlias, celosia, and sunflowers. The garden moves quickly this time of year, and these bouquets are built around whatever feels most beautiful in that exact moment.

These are some of the most abundant bouquets of the season. Bright, textural, and designed to feel like summer has fully arrived in your home.

Bouquets are offered in one signature size, designed to feel generous enough for a dining table, kitchen island, or entryway.
