One of the best things about being a florist is witnessing, and getting to be a conduit for simple gestures of care, empathy, and compassion from one person to another. Especially in New York City…. heartfelt notes attached to flowers seem to cut through all the anonymity and bustle around us. The messages our customers entrust us with proves New York’s deep heart again and again.


So in case you didn’t know… 


You can order a seasonal arrangement or hand tied bouquet to be delivered to yourself, an aunt, a friend, or lover any Wednesday of the week. 


Our seasonal bouquets will always feature seasonal, locally-grown flowers, and as always, our flowers are sourced purely from local farms within 200 miles of NYC. 


In fact, we literally drive to our partner farms every week to procure the freshest and most unique flowers!

We don’t allow for flower or color specifications, but you’re welcome to tell us your preferences in your order notes. We will put together a “standard” or “deluxe” bouquet or arrangement - always elegant, modern, and seasonal. 


Our packaging is made from 100% recycled kraft paper, and compostable tissue paper! That’s right - you can recycle, or compost, all of it! One thing that was essential for me was to provide a flower delivery option that didn’t have waste. I’m sure you can relate to receiving bouquets or arrangements heavily packed in single use plastic…. Really sucks some joy out of the experience!

It is a real privilege to be trusted with relaying such important messages in times of joy, or times of grief - or the messy middle. We highly recommend sending yourself some, just to experience the difference locally-grown flowers make. These flowers are not sprayed with pesticides, and purchasing them helps us support small, sustainably-run farms. 


We love sharing the magic and medicine they co-create with the earth with you and your loved ones!
