How frequently do you come to the farmer's markets?
Currently, we do not have a dedicated schedule for the farmer's market. We come when the flowers are available. Where we will be is always announced on our Facebook page, so please follow us.
What are your hours of operation?
Our reservations run from 10 AM to 4 PM. Additionally, we have a 24-hour cooler that you can pick up flowers from at any time.
What types of payment do you accept?
Currently, we only accept cash.
How long will the flowers last?
This can vary depending on the environment the flowers are in, but we hope for about a week, possibly longer, once you receive them. If you want them to last longer, you can cut the bottoms of the stems once in a while so that they can continue to get water. Depending on personal preference and the type of flower, you can also hang them upside down to dry and keep forever.
What flowers do you currently have?
We do not have the same flowers throughout the season but rather they change. What we have one weekend is not likely to be the same for the next.
Do you grow them yourself?
Yes, we do! All of our flowers are grown from seed except for Roses and Hydrangeas.
Do you use pesticides on your flowers?
No, we do not.
Do you have a social media page?
Yes, we do! We have a Facebook page. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheGreenhouseSouthLLC
Do you do special events like weddings?
No, we do not.
Can we come and take pictures in the fields?
At the moment, this is a no, but this may change in the future.
Why should we buy from you?
We are not a simple backyard operation. We grow these flowers from the seed up. We make sure that they are grown in the best conditions possible from high-quality soil to consistent watering. We even pet them to ensure that they are strong enough to grow outside! We do this to produce the highest quality of flowers possible.
Additionally, you can be assured that your flowers are locally grown. In 2013, 80% of fresh flowers in the United States were imported from other countries. Imported flowers have a significant carbon footprint due to the transportation and energy exerted to keep these flowers alive (source of facts under paragraph). By the time you receive these flowers, they may only be alive for a couple of days. With our flowers, you receive them within, at max, a couple of days of being cut, allowing you to enjoy their beauty for about a week, possibly longer depending on their conditions.
