Flower Bouquet Subscription Frequently Asked Questions

fresh flower arrangements bouquets Lancaster Ohio farm
local flower farm near Lancaster and Hocking Hills Ohio
What do I get with my flower bouquet subscription?
  • 7 to 14 weekly bouquets of fresh flowers: You can choose your bouquet size (standard or premium) and your pick-up location.
  • A weekly email newsletter from the farm: Each week during your subscription you’ll receive an exclusive members-only email that will help you get to know the farm and your flowers better. We'll share profiles of 14 of our favorite flowers, tips for growing and drying flowers, stories from the farm, and much more. We archive them by date and topic on a members-only webpage, so you can revisit them anytime.
  • Text message reminders: We’ll send you a weekly text message reminder during your subscription to help make sure you never miss a pick-up! (Be sure to provide your cell phone number during checkout.)

New this year, existing members can earn a perk for new members they help refer! You are eligible if you were a 2024 full-season member and are returning as a 2025 full-season member. Refer a NEW 2025 full-season member, and we'll give you one extra free flower bouquet on the date of your choice. Just make sure your friend mentions that you referred them in the Notes field of their order.

What if I'm purchasing the flower subscription as a gift?
We love that! In the Notes field during checkout, be sure to tell us. Include the name, phone number, and email address of the gift recipient, so they can receive communications from us. Contact us if you have any questions about giving the gift of flowers; we're happy to help make your gift special!

What happens if I'm not available to pick up my flowers?
If you are unable to pick up your flowers as scheduled, we encourage you to enlist a friend, family member, or neighbor to pick them up on your behalf and spread some joy through flowers! Alternatively, if you contact us at least 48 hours in advance, you can elect to skip a week and pick up two bouquets the following week at your regular location. You can even switch your pick-up location for the week. 

Our partner locations graciously give us their space and time, so help us keep the process easy for them by notifying us in advance or making other arrangements whenever possible. Please contact us as soon as possible if you have an issue that prevents you from enjoying your flowers, and we'll work with you to try and find a solution. All flowers not picked up during designated times will be forfeited unless prior arrangements have been made. All flower bouquet subscription sales are final and no refunds will be issued.
    
What's the difference between a standard and a premium bouquet?
Our standard bouquets are essentially the same as those you'll find us selling each Saturday at the Lancaster Farmers Market. A subscription ensures you have a bouquet waiting for you; we often sell out. It also means you'll get the lowest price on our flowers for the entire season, along with membership benefits, like bouquet discounts and our email newsletter. Standard bouquets provide enough stems for you to make about one medium vase arrangement.

Our premium bouquets have about 40 percent more stems. They receive first selection of any limited availability or specialty blooms. They are a great choice if you really want to make an impact in your home with flowers! Premium bouquets provide enough stems for you to make about one large vase arrangement or several small vase arrangements. (PREMIUM BOUQUETS ARE SOLD OUT FOR 2025)

I signed up for a subscription, but I'm not getting your emails. What can I do?
You should receive an email confirmation immediately after you place your order. If you don't see it, be sure to check your spam folder and mark the email as not spam. Next, add our email address to your email contacts list. You can also hit reply to one of our emails and write something to us, anything really. Your favorite flower, a single word, a question. These steps all help to "whitelist" our emails to make sure they stay out of your spam folder.

We'll also send you an email before the start of the farmers market season and email and text message reminders the week of each pick-up. If you are not receiving these and you have tried the tricks above, please contact us.


How long will my flowers last?
We grow many varieties of flowers and each has a different vase life, but you should generally expect a week's worth of enjoyment from most flowers if properly cared for. Here's what some of our subscription members have had to say:
  • "This is no joke. My flowers from you last 2-3 weeks, consistently! So much more beautiful and long-lasting than grocery store bouquets."
  • "I can't tell you how much I look forward to your beautiful flowers. They last the entire week."
  • "Every bouquet was like a picture. So beautiful. And they lasted almost 2 weeks, so I always had fresh flowers."
  • "We loved our flowers! They were always beautiful and lasted at least 2 weeks." 
   
How can I make my flowers last longer?
​Sanitation is key. Use a clean vase and change the water often, ideally once daily. Keep your flowers in a cool location, out of the sun, and away from ripe fruit and breezes. Re-cut the stems at an angle to increase hydration. Remove leaves below the water line to prevent rot. Remove any wilted stems from the bouquet as needed.
    
How long can my flowers be out of water when in transit?
The answer is dependent on conditions, but we recommend no longer than 30 minutes in a cool vehicle.

WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING...

"Thank you for the time, love, and energy you put into making your flowers so happy and beautiful. It was a tough year for me, but buying a flower subscription was something I did for myself this year. I'm so glad I did, as it was something I looked forward to every Saturday. Thank you for the joy you spread in the world with your amazing flowers!"
"Every bouquet was like a picture. So beautiful. And they lasted almost 2 weeks so I always had fresh flowers.
"This subscription is the best thing I've ever done for myself!"
"LOVE the subscription and we will always purchase multiple as gifts! Great quality and incredible value."
