FAQs
How much does a bucket cost? Traditional bulk buckets are between $150, half buckets are $90, and flower only buckets are $225.
How many stems come in a bucket? Depending on what’s in bloom, our buckets contain between 100-125 stems.
How many arrangements can I make from one bucket? This depends on both the size of your vases and your personal style. Depending on how full or airy you like your arrangements and the types of flowers in the arrangement, you should be able to fill 7-10 12 oz narrow mouth ball jars.
Can I request specific flowers or colors? Our bulk buckets include a mix of colors and flower varieties that reflect what’s blooming in our field. However, you may request a color scheme or preference (brights, pastels, moody, neutral, or whatever colors fit your goals!) and we’ll try our best to accommodate. Due to the seasonal nature of our farm and the amount of other orders, we cannot guarantee specific flowers varieties.
How long will the flowers last? It depends on the variety, but if cared for properly, most of our blooms will last between 5-7 days. Spring flowers generally last longer than summer or fall flowers.

Design tips to consider…
Amount — How many flowers will you need for your event? Do you like airy arrangements or are you wanting full vases? It can be easy to underestimate how many flowers a vase will hold, so we suggest picking your style, harvesting or purchasing some flowers, and making an example arrangement in your vase to get a better sense of how many total flowers you’ll need.
Time — How much time (or how many people) do you have available the day before your event? The days leading up to an event can get pretty hectic, and depending on how many flowers you’re working with, the arranging can take a while. We recommend gathering creative friends and family at least a day beforehand to arrange the flowers into bouquets or vases.
Space — Will you have access to a place to store the flowers after you arrange them? A walk-in cooler or refrigerator (nothing below 34 degrees) are great places to store flowers. If that’s not an option, do you have a cool, dark place to store the flowers after arranging and before the event? Many of our customers use basements, garages, or church/event center coolers to store blooms until they are needed.
