Fewer Miles

Flowers grown in Ontario have fewer miles to travel between the producer, the store and your home.  With the reduced travel time, the environmental impact is similarly reduced. Less transport means less fuel used, fewer emissions, and fewer preservatives required to keep the blooms looking fresh in transit.

Support for the Local Economy

Buying locally grown flowers puts money back into your community and boosts the overall economy. There are approximately 10,000 people in the province of Ontario that are employed by the 650 greenhouse farmers producing flowers for consumers. Choose flowers grown in Ontario and contribute to the growth of the industry, which in turn will lead to expansion and greater choice for consumers, as well as a thriving economy.

Less Packaging

Because your flowers aren't being shipped great distances or for long periods of time, the need for packing materials is also reduced. This results in lower costs for you because it costs less to ship, and there's less garbage produced too!

Quality Guarantee

Ontario fresh flowers and the farmers that grow them work under regulated conditions and have requirements that must be met. When you buy flowers without knowing their origin, you can't be sure what chemicals were used during the growing process, if the workers were treated fairly, or if the flowers are up to quality standards.  With locally grown products, you can be sure that production regulations are available for you to read and are being enforced.
