Fresh flowers are one of the highlights of CSA membership. Who doesn't love a bright bouquet on the kitchen table?
​
The flower beds will bloom into the fall if members pick carefully. Moderate bouquets with short stems (12" or less) ensure an abundant supply for everyone.
​
PICKING TIPS
-
cut in the morning, before it gets hot
-
always use pruners or sharp scissors
-
for branching varieties (zinnias, sunflowers, strawflowers, etc), cut just above branch so new buds can bloom
-
remove leaves from lower portion of stems
-
place stems in water immediately
-
change vase water daily
