What to Look for When Buying Fresh Flowers

Posted by Chris Sabbarese on Tue, Jul, 14, 2015 @ 19:07 PM

When you visit your local florist or order flowers online, do you ever think about where those flowers come from? In a national survey, only 74% of consumers know the origin of their flowers. The fact is, 80% of cut flowers U.S. consumers buy are imported, mostly from South American countries.

When you consider the time takes for imported flowers to get from the field to your local florist, they don’t have much longer before they begin to fade. In essence you are buying a product that is certain to provide limited enjoyment. On the other hand, local and domestic flowers are fresher since they don't travel far to your vase. And given a choice, 54% of consumers would prefer American grown flowers

.American_Grown

Corona recently hosted a #plantchat with Debra Prinzing, noted garden writer and speaker, and creator of the slowflowers movement and spokesperson for the Certified American Grown (CAG). It was organized as unified and diverse coalition, made up of U.S. flower farms, including small and large entities in multiple states across the country. When buying flowers, consumers can look for the “American Grown” and “CA Grown” logos and be assured they are getting domestic and locally grown flowers.

As a result of our chat with Debra and the CAG, Corona was introduced to a series of events called Field to Vase Dinner Tour. It is a series of pop-up communal dining experiences that will take place at specialty flower farms across the country. 

 Field_to_Vase_on_Corona_Tools

Each event will feature a seasonal, four-course meal served at a table decorated with uncommonly beautiful American grown flowers. Guests will have rare access at each venue to meet and converse with the host flower farmer, a featured floral designer and a farm-to-table chef.

Attendees of each private flower-farm experience will take home new insights and a heightened understanding of the American floral landscape, symbolized by a local floral memento and gift bag from their visit. Included in each gift bag is a Corona Curved Snip [AG 4980SS $14] that has ergonomic and comfortable grips that are great for harvesting flowers, fresh fruit from the vine, and herbs.

4980SS_on_Corona_Tools

The Field to Vase Dinner Tour continues throughout 2015, taking place across the country at unique destinations -- American flower farms in both urban and rural settings. Each event introduces guests to the age-old art and science of flower farming.

As a proud supporter of Field to Vase, friends of Corona can sign up for a special offer code for $25 off the ticket price at the remaining events going on through October 2015.

Save $25


Knowing where your flowers come from and choosing local, can help assure your fresh flowers will be fresher and last longer!

You're Invited to Tweet 

Join @CoronaTools and #plantchat co-partner, Aaron Kinsman of Rodale Institute tweeting as @RodaleInstitute, along with Wedderspoon Organic's Kelly Nelson tweeting as @WedderspoonUSA will be leading the chat, along with the voice of Corona Tools, Chris Sabbarese.  The live chat begins Monday, July 13, 2015 at 11 a.m. PST / 2 p.m. EST, were we come together with green industry experts and fellow horticultural tweeps each week to discuss all things related to plants and horticulture, since 2014.

Discussion Overview  

Here's the buzz during the discussion:

Pollinators are economically important - More than 70 of the 100 crops that provide 90 percent of the world's food are pollinated by bees

Gifts from Bees - There is evidence of documented health benefits of honey and other bee products. Share your recipes and uses for honey. 

Organic is Preferable - There's a world of microbiology in a beehive and when hives are treated with toxins, the microbiology is killed, disrupting the natural balance that keeps beehives running in a healthy way and as a super-organism. 

No Smoking - Organic bees are not managed with smoke, nor with chemicals inside the hive, nor sugar water to increase honey production. 

Current Status and Tips for Home Beekeepers - Currently, there are an estimated 2 million managed hives, and these can be supported by Rodale Institute's Honeybee Conservancy, which promotes healthy beekeeping practices through education and outreach and includes classes in sustainable beekeeping practices, hive hosting on Rodale Institute's organic farm, and support for beginners through the network.
