Valentine’s Day is around the corner and there is no more universal love language than flowers. From “I love you” to “I miss you” flowers can be used to say something profound without saying anything at all. When deciding where to purchase flowers this Valentine’s Day think about purchasing from a Maryland cut flower grower.
Why?
“A rose by any other name would smell as sweet” but it will smell sweeter if it is locally sourced from Maryland! That’s because locally flowers last up to three times as long as flowers shipped internationally! Maryland flowers will actually have stronger scents and brighter colors compared to their shipped counterparts.
When you purchase locally sourced flowers you are also able to get a better, more diverse variety then those that are shipped internationally. The top three imported flowers include roses, chrysanthemums and carnations. Up your flower game and look for Tulips, Eucalyptus & Anemones.
When you purchase local flowers you are putting money back into YOUR economy, community and neighboring farmers. To learn more about Maryland Cut Flowers: www.marylandgrownflowers.com.
