Locally grown flowers are usually fresher, brighter, and without any harsh chemicals. They also eliminate the huge transportation footprint that often comes with store bought flowers that are flown in from other countries.
The climate in Issaquah is perfect for these flowers and the alpacas like to help do their part providing lots of nutrients for the soil.
Some of my favorite flowers this year have been Sweet Peas, Dahlias and Zinnias. I've had a great time seeing these at the farm stand. I've also enjoyed creating some fun bouquets for birthdays, office celebrations, graduation parties and wedding rehearsals.
