Please email me Kali@bluehouseflorals.com with any accessibility needs.
ADD-ONS AVAILABLE
Seeds (+$30): Kali has carefully selected Florida-friendly cut flowers that are tried and true to our region. This seed collection will be more than enough for one 4x8 garden bed.
Plugs (+$100): Plugs are basically seedlings, or baby plants. This is a great option if you are a newb gardener, or just want to get a head start on your planting. These plugs will be in soil blocks and will look like little dirt brownies with a baby plant in them. They will be ready to transplant when you receive them. This plug collection will be more than enough for one 4x8 garden bed. Please bring a baking dish to transport the plugs to your garden.

Dried Flower Fest
Winter solstice is upon us, and dried flowers are a great way to feel the festivus. Join me for a dried flower festival in the garden, where we’ll be making our own everlasting crafts: wreaths, ornaments, garlands, and bundles.
