Frequently Asked Questions
Are DIY buckets right for me?
DIY buckets are a budget-friendly option to buy flowers at a reduced rate. The most important factor when buying DIY buckets… Do you have time? Arranging DIY buckets for your event will likely take more time than expected. Stems must be cut to desired length, arranged into designs and placed in vases. Make sure you have means to transport buckets, related florist supplies. and sufficient help to create your arrangements.
We do our best to match colors requested, but there is no guarantee we can match specific colors with what is in bloom at that time.
If you desire a particular stem, we recommend ordering bunches of individual flowers.
How many buckets do I need ?
1 bucket will usually fill 5-7 wide-mouth quart mason jars. This will vary depending on how lush and full your arrangements are.
When do I pick up my flowers ?
DIY buckets will be available for pickup on Fridays between 9-10am at our farm. We do not deliver.
How do I care for my flowers ?
Your flowers are cut from the field 1-2 days before pick up, appropriately hydrated and housed in a climate controlled cooler. We recommend transporting your purchases in an air conditioned vehicle with flat surfaces appropriate for buckets. To ensure continued freshness, we recommend you keep flowers out of direct sunlight and store in a cool, dark place. Flowers can easily be ruined if transported in the back of a pickup.
Can I cut my own flowers ?
We do not provide a “you-cut” option.
