Go Green with Farmers' West
European Style, Hand –Tied Bouquets
Farmers West bouquets are made with fresh, California flowers grown to meet the exacting Veriflora™ green standards which emphasize environmental responsibility.
All bouquets are hand-tied in the spiral European Style. These natural beauties are individually arranged by hand, not bunched on a mechanized assembly line. Our bouquets are styled and ready to be placed in a vase as soon as they arrive at their new home. Less waste is created than the traditional bouquet in floral foam and a disposable plastic container.
Seasonal & Holiday Selections - Bouquets that encompass traditional holidays as well as changing times of the year reflected with the appropriate seasonal flair.
Cultural Creations - A line of bouquets comprised of flowers and fillers chosen accordingly to represent different cultural tastes, colors, and holidays with an international flair.
Enhanced Consumer Bunches - Add some spice to those "Plain Jane" consumer bunches! Creative combos in which one type of flower is paired with a filler that will make the flower sing. These are perfect for enlivening any space or they can be the kick off to your own creation.
Cut flower care and handling
- Fill clean container with water and fresh flower food.
- Strip leaves below water level to discourage bacteria growth.
- Cut 1" (3cm) off of stem at a 45° with a sharp knife or scissors for better water absorption.
- Avoid direct sunlight.
- Keep flowers, lilies in particular, away from vegetable and fruit which produce ethylene. Lilies are sensitive to ethylene which makes them age faster.
- Refresh water every 2-3 days and add appropriate amount of flower food.
- To prevent staining fabric or skin, remove lily's anthers (pollen) as soon as the flower begins to bloom with a tissue and discard.
- If your clothes become stained with pollen remove with a piece of tape. If the petals of the flower become stained you may also use tape by gently dabbing the affected area.
