Most supermarket flowers travel a very long way before they reach the bucket — which is why they are bred to survive shipping, not to smell like anything. Local flower growers cut what is blooming now, often the same day you pick it up.
On Rootly you can find cut-flower farms and backyard growers near you, see what is in season — ranunculus in spring, dahlias in late summer, sunflowers in fall — and order a bouquet that was growing in the ground that week.
Rootly is growing community by community. Check the map for sellers near you — and if your area is quiet, you can join the waitlist there to get notified when a seller joins.
Freshness is everything with cut flowers: stems cut yesterday simply last longer in the vase than stems cut two weeks ago. Local growers also raise varieties too delicate to ship — the lush, fragrant blooms you rarely see in a grocery store.
