It’s definitely the most popular comment we get from our customers. Imported flowers are often harvested long before they ever reach the customer. By the time they make it to a grocery store, they may already be over a week old. Local flowers are usually harvested within hours or days of being sold. That means stronger stems, better vase life, and flowers that continue opening beautifully at home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6957f5ea389f2d38f1d9cacc/b875dc95-4409-4ff6-82b2-3e7f039777e4/IMG_8421.jpeg Blog - Why Buy Local Flowers? - ✿ Better for the Environment Local flowers also come with a much smaller environmental footprint. Most imported flowers require a lot of transportation, refrigeration, packaging, and chemical treatments just to survive the trip from another country to your local store. Buying local cuts way down on all of that. Most flower farmers are selling within their own communities, often just a short drive from where the flowers were grown. Less travel, less packaging, and more connection between growers and customers. At Broad Harvest Flowers grow using sustainable organic practices because we want our flowers to be safe for the bees, butterflies, birds, our family, and yours too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6957f5ea389f2d38f1d9cacc/dcfe2baa-4099-48d2-b015-584eea3b19a2/IMG_4623.jpeg Blog - Why Buy Local Flowers? - What You’re Supporting When You Buy Local Flowers One thing people are often surprised to learn is just how much work and cost goes into growing flowers on a small scale. Every bouquet represents months of planning, seeds, bulbs, compost, irrigation, tools, greenhouse supplies, packaging, and many hours spent planting, harvesting, watering, weeding, and arranging by hand. Right now, almost everything we make from Broad Harvest goes right back into the farm. Every season, we are slowly building something bigger than what you see today. Better growing spaces, more flowers, better systems, and more ways to serve our community in the future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6957f5ea389f2d38f1d9cacc/284108c4-e63c-441e-b4d8-f56f80666a66/unsplash-image-J8YByQQ7qXM.jpg Blog - Why Buy Local Flowers? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.broadharvestflowers.ca/blog/tulips monthly 0.5 2026-05-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6957f5ea389f2d38f1d9cacc/9d55e1f3-f33b-4637-bc62-1328a2ac10db/IMG_4855.jpg Blog - Tulips - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6957f5ea389f2d38f1d9cacc/10903db9-3deb-4daa-a11d-3bf0e9aff534/1000023395.jpeg Blog - Tulips - Tulips LOVE: cool rooms fresh, cold water clean vases daily water changes a little breathing room These flowers are incredibly thirsty. Like “why is the vase empty again?” thirsty. They seriously drink water like they’ve just walked through the desert. Before placing them in a vase, trim the stems at an angle remove any leaves below the water line use cool, fresh water keep the vase very clean Honestly, changing the water daily will do more for tulips than almost any internet flower hack ever will https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6957f5ea389f2d38f1d9cacc/1778618974489-NGUIPG7XNMURLI7KG22Y/unsplash-image-UNkj7ZvwUXw.jpg Blog - Tulips Tulips hate: heat direct sunlight dirty water bacteria fruit bowls Yes… fruit bowls. Ripening fruit releases ethylene gas, which speeds up the aging process of flowers. So if you want your tulips to last longer, keep them away from apples, bananas, tomatoes, and avocados. Tulips also don’t love sharing a vase with daffodils. Daffodils release a sap that can shorten the vase life of tulips. And yes, some of the famous tulip tricks actually do help a little. Pennies can help keep water cleaner, and the pin trick can sometimes help droopy tulips stand back up. But honestly? The best thing you can do for tulips is still the simplest: keep the vase clean and change the water often. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6957f5ea389f2d38f1d9cacc/6e7706e3-7dbc-474f-b95d-44f1daec4345/unsplash-image-_j9MM-V8OiM.jpg Blog - Tulips Some people panic when tulips start drooping, but honestly? We think that graceful movement is part of their beauty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6957f5ea389f2d38f1d9cacc/e617c952-0773-46f5-a4db-128d2e71a19a/unsplash-image-WoM7TPHx034.jpg Blog - Tulips - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.broadharvestflowers.ca/blog/tag/spring+flowers monthly 0.5 https://www.broadharvestflowers.ca/blog/tag/Tulip+care monthly 0.5 https://www.broadharvestflowers.ca/blog/tag/tulips monthly 0.5 https://www.broadharvestflowers.ca/blog/tag/Flower+care monthly 0.5 https://www.broadharvestflowers.ca/about daily 0.75 2026-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6957f5ea389f2d38f1d9cacc/5e8ecc64-949a-4eb3-aca8-6da5efd56007/IMG_0136.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6957f5ea389f2d38f1d9cacc/d2c58fb0-a57b-4a06-9206-c412cd298275/IMG_7263.jpeg https://www.broadharvestflowers.ca/contact-us daily 0.75 2026-04-24 https://www.broadharvestflowers.ca/home daily 1.0 2026-06-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6957f5ea389f2d38f1d9cacc/ba5aff06-b8a3-45a4-9b16-1766394d5597/homepage+1.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6957f5ea389f2d38f1d9cacc/1770917545653-PVUPMCMRS7XZO1EAW5T2/unsplash-image-yu326pwy9i0.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6957f5ea389f2d38f1d9cacc/1777492562230-CF85Y7EYW0RMS8T2QOYB/unsplash-image-tcPUbu8H2c0.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6957f5ea389f2d38f1d9cacc/d74a3c13-df2b-47df-ad12-cb6f9e450994/unsplash-image-xnVQSK2BkPQ.jpg https://www.broadharvestflowers.ca/shop-2 daily 0.75 2026-05-31 https://www.broadharvestflowers.ca/privacypolicy daily 0.75 2026-04-24 https://www.broadharvestflowers.ca/find-us daily 0.75 2026-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6957f5ea389f2d38f1d9cacc/3df505f5-322d-4a0c-8eea-baebc1e057e1/unnamed+%281%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6957f5ea389f2d38f1d9cacc/1776991954908-0XA8AC09PIBJ58NUTMNN/unsplash-image-m6tnAOyhSwY.jpg https://www.broadharvestflowers.ca/faq-2 daily 0.75 2026-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6957f5ea389f2d38f1d9cacc/1776949386153-1NT25VVO1WPCEWL81VB7/unsplash-image-kzfq5zQvluI.jpg https://www.broadharvestflowers.ca/newsletter-sign-up daily 0.75 2026-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6957f5ea389f2d38f1d9cacc/c4f732eb-b50b-416a-adbb-cf7ac3906116/unsplash-image-hxgMOmjpzHA.jpg https://www.broadharvestflowers.ca/shop daily 0.75 2026-06-11 https://www.broadharvestflowers.ca/shop/p/premium-spring-bouquet monthly 0.5 2026-06-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6957f5ea389f2d38f1d9cacc/dde77b49-d5af-44b8-aa9b-bbe7bf24b4fb/IMG_5902.jpeg Shop - Premium Spring Bouquet - IMG_5902.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6957f5ea389f2d38f1d9cacc/8cf286d8-989b-44ad-995e-5491e542cefc/IMG_5900.jpeg Shop - Premium Spring Bouquet - IMG_5900.jpeg
