Our Flower Growing Philosophy 

At Mystical Gardens we make it our top priority to grow our beautiful specialty cut flowers in an environmentally responsible, sustainable manner, using regenerative farming methods. We routinely take into consideration how our practices affect the flora and fauna and wildlife around us. Simply, we choose not to use any chemicals or pesticides in the growing and care of our flowers. We believe in nurturing our plants from the ground up and in "feeding'“ our soil and in using natural fertilizers such as fish emulsion and seaweeds. We not only safe guard the many pollinating and beneficial insects that call our gardens home by not using harmful chemicals, but delight at seeing them at work and living among our gorgeous blooms.

WHY LOCAL FLOWERS?

As consumers, most of us do not pause long enough to think about where the things we purchase on a day to day basis are sourced. Nor do we think about the seasonality of fruits and veggies and other farm raised goods when we purchase them, as they are usually available as a consumer year round. Think about a farm fresh tomato that you purchase at your local farmer’s market in season, and then imagine the tomato you purchase mid February from your local grocery store. Which one do you think you will remember biting into, which one do you actually enjoy eating? More and more people are embracing the farm to table movement, including top chefs who want the produce they cook with to compliment their culinary talents. Luckily small flower farms are slowly making a resurgence in our country. The mixed bouquet you purchase from a local farm not only has the freshest flowers you can find, usually picked within 24 hours of purchase, but they offer so much more variety, (imported flower bouquets only use blooms that can be shipped well), and they will last so much longer. Not only will you feel joy seeing a bouquet of beautiful fresh cut flowers in your home, but you have the piece of mind knowing you supported a farmer right in your own community, while helping fuel your local economy.
