Why should you choose locally grown flowers?

As a small flower farm in Huntersville, my goal is to provide fresh seasonal flowers to people in my community.  Flowers grown on local farms not only last longer, but they smell lovely and are not awash in pesticides used on your typical grocery store blooms.

I strive to find the most unique and beautiful flowers available to make sure each bouquet has what it takes to be truly memorable:  a fragrance or flower from your childhood, a beautiful bloom, herb, or greenery you have never seen before, and a garden-picked whimsical feel that is truly one of a kind.

Hi, I’m Kristy!

I have a small urban flower farm in Huntersville, NC.  I have always loved gardening and once we moved to a house with a big yard, I couldn’t wait to fill it with flowers.  Almost 10 years later, and the garden is full of beautiful blooms.  My passion is collecting unique flowers including long-forgotten heirloom varieties, fragrant garden roses, and blooms you don’t find in the grocery store or wholesale markets.   I love experimenting and am constantly trialing new seeds and bulbs.

January is a quiet month on the farm dedicated to January is a quiet month on the farm dedicated to seed starting and making sure the plants are covered or uncovered according to the fluctuating temperatures in zone 7B. (It is also when I work on other projects around the house). The only thing blooming so far is my really early hellebore.
This is a great flatlay to illustrate the first fl This is a great flatlay to illustrate the first flowers to bloom here in NC in zone 7. Normally we start to see sporadic blooms from anemones, hyacinth, and early daffodils first along with muscari, puschkinia, hellebores and some flowering branches like quince. This usually starts right after Valentine’s Day and becomes steadier into March • If the weather is mild that winter some may start in late January, but it’s not a large quantity field grown. Farmers with hoop houses may start mid January. . . . . . #charlottesgotalot #huntersvillenc #visitlakenorman #charlotteflorist #lakenormanflowers #flowerfaffing #capturingcolour #fineartflowers #floralarrangement #floraldesigner #floralstories #floralstyling #flowerart #localflowers #moodforfloral #locallygrownflowers #seeingthepretty

Checked in on the butterfly ranunculus and after a Checked in on the butterfly ranunculus and after a good rain more and more leaves are showing. This variety is Helios. All the varieties seem to be named Greek characters. I also added Hera this year. It’s another pinky peach version. I have Ariadne - pale pink and a few Europe (that mauve purple up top) and a few Theseus. They are stunning and so long lasting. . . . . #butterflyranunculus #butterflyranunculuseurope #butterflyranunculushelios #flowerfarmer #ncflowers #charlottebride

The love for flowers in our community especially, The love for flowers in our community especially, in the Spring months, is evident in the top nine this year. Even with hardly any events happening in the area at that time, retail sales to neighbors and friends made sure that almost no flowers were thrown away. I had to buy flowers from farmer friends just to fill the orders. • It was wonderful to see the joy flowers could bring people during such a hard year. • Thank you for all your support this year of my flower farm. . . . . . #charlottesgotalot #huntersvillenc #visitlakenorman #charlotteflorist #lakenormanflowers #capturingcolour #floralstories #localflowers #moodforfloral #locallygrownflowers #grownnotflown #ncflowerfarm #charlotteflowerfarm #bouquetsubscription #flowerfarmer #seasonalfloweralliance #flowerfarmerflorist #slowflowers #ayearinflowers  #floralinspiration #slowfloralstyle #slowflowersociety #grownnotflown #farmtotable #seedtovase #flowergram
