A Season of Blooms: Growing Wedding & Bouquet Subscription Flowers on my little CT Urban Farm
PQ Farm Flowers Summer 2022
Welcome to the heart of Poquonnock Plains Urban Farm here in Groton, Connecticut, where concrete meets cosmos, and the rhythm of a busy neighborhood is set to the tune of buzzing bees. I specialize in growing lush, seasonal flowers for two primary purposes: exquisite wedding florals and much-loved, hyper-local bouquet subscriptions. While the beauty of a wedding centerpiece is undeniable, today I want to focus on the quiet luxury and vibrant seasonality that my Bouquet Subscription brings straight to your table.
The Charm of the Hyper-Local Bouquet Subscription
There is a unique magic in a bouquet that was picked just hours before it reaches your hands. This is the core promise of my bouquet subscription. I am delivering freshness, peak beauty, and a truly seasonal experience that you simply can't find in a grocery store.
Each week (or whenever you choose to pick up) is a vibrant snapshot of what is thriving right now in our Connecticut soil. It’s a weekly surprise that changes dramatically from the delicate pastels of spring to the fiery jewel tones of late summer and autumn.
A Lush Look at Our Seasonal Stars
My farm is a treasure trove of variety, focusing on elegant, high-demand blooms that thrive in our Northeast climate and are perfect for both complex wedding designs and stunning everyday arrangements.
Spring Forward with Delicate Beauty
Spring on the farm is a masterclass in subtlety and fragrance. We usher in the season with classic tulips and daffodils, but quickly move into highly sought-after, ethereal blooms. Imagine delicate ranunculus with their layers of tissue-thin petals, sweetly scented sweet peas that perfume an entire room, and the dramatic, swaying spires of larkspur.
Summer's Abundant Peak
As the heat arrives, so does our most abundant harvest. Summer is when we lean heavily into the "lush" aesthetic. Among many flowers here, you’ll find:
Lisianthus: Elegant rose-like flowers with ruffled petals and long stems in many colors
Zinnias: The workhorses of the cutting garden, offering bright, cheerful colors and excellent vase life.
Snapdragons: Providing essential height and structure to bouquets.
Cosmos: Their airy, graceful stems and simple daisy-like flowers add movement and whimsy.
We select every variety not just for its looks, but for its longevity and performance in a vase, ensuring your subscription delivers lasting joy!
The Wedding Connection: From Field to Forever
The same dedication to quality that fills my weekly bouquets also supplies my wedding clients. By growing for both needs, I ensure a supply of premium, farm-fresh florals. Couples who choose my farm-grown flowers are selecting an intentional, sustainable option, receiving blooms that reflect the natural beauty of the season. They get the depth, texture, and unique character that only locally grown flowers can provide. Of course, if they want flowers I do not grow, such as tropicals, I am happy to order from the most sustainable source I can find.
