The story behind our subscriptions:
When 40 scheduled events were suddenly postponed in March 2020, we knew farmers would feel the repercussions. With their help, we began delivering our favorite seasonal flowers across NYC that May. As they say, where one door closes another opens – a project I’d dreamt about for years found wings.
Since then, we've continued to work with 10+ regional farms- most of them woman- and queer-owned, to bring you the freshest, most unique flower varieties- typically out of reach for the average consumer.
In 2021, we began partnering with small businesses across NYC to increase access to the magic of local flowers.
Did you know that farming is one of the whitest professions? We’re dedicated to seeing our farming population diversify, so that the very definition of beauty can continue to expand through diverse land stewards. We donate 15% of our subscription profits to Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) farmers as well as BIPOC-led organizations working on land-based reparations.
Flowers bring beauty, inspiration, and joy into your home each week for a month or more.
15% of SFP profits are donated to Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) led organizations working on land based reparations.

How long do your flowers last?
Some flowers naturally last longer than others. Some last 3-5 days; others 7-10, and some last 10 days - 2 weeks! How long they actually DO last has to do with their environment. The cleanliness of your vase, freshness of their water, and the temperature of the room will all have an impact on the “vase life” of your stems.
Place in a well-scrubbed vase with fresh water. Change the water and trim the stems every 1-2 days. Keep your flowers away from direct sunlight, heat from your stove or other appliances, fans, or a bunch of fresh fruit (the ethylene gas will cause your flowers to pass faster).
