Spring Bouquets
This four-bouquet subscription will include our earliest bloomers. Timing is everything with spring flowers, so this subscription needs some flexibility as the flowers bloom when ready. This subscription has four “themed” bouquets. We can start as early as April with a gorgeous narcissus bouquet. These are our first big blooms of the season. We have hundreds of bulbs and special varieties that provide beautiful double flowers in pink, white, peach and yellow. These are some of my favorite flowers and when they come into bloom they come in with a bang! The next focal flowers to bloom are the anemone and ranunculus. Anemone come first in mid-May, followed by an explosion of ranunculus. These flowers will take your breath away. Our grand finale will include our most spectacular Peony. Along with these gorgeous focal blooms, we will include the most amazing early blooming flowers for an abundant wrapped bouquet (including dianthus, delphinium, lupine, baptisia, campanula, etc.).
Subscriptions start late April and continuing through to early June, with weekly bouquets and options for alternate weeks. We have pick-up locations in St. Johns (Phillips Cider Mill) and Mount Pleasant (Pleasant City Coffee or FlowerBird Farm) and delivery options in the Mount Pleasant area. Contact FlowerBird Farm for delivery inquiries.
How it works
Bouquets will be available when the spring blooms arrive. Spring is the hardest season to predict so we all need to be flexible. When the flowers come on, they come fast and glorious. We will work with you to get the freshest spring flowers in your homes. We understand you may have weeks you prefer or week you may wish to reschedule. We will work with you to get the blooms in your hands at the best times for you, the season, and shared availability. Its spring and we will make it work.
This subscription includes four bouquets. The first will be long stemmed narcissus. This is likely in mid to late April. We may take a pause in early May as we wait for the explosion of anemone, ranunculus, and peony. We anticipate a mid-May start for ranunculus and anemone followed by peony blooms in early June. This truly is a shared harvest, so if flowers are blooming, we are happy to make you a bouquet that will capture the spring.
Bouquet Subscription Policy
1. Subscription Period:
Our Spring Bouquet Subscription program operates on a seasonal basis, with 4 guaranteed bouquets spread across the spring season. We anticipate starting late April to Early May and will finish late May to early June. We anticipate a bouquet every other week through that time but are happy to be flexible dependent on the bloom timing and availability.
2. Flower Bouquets:
Subscribers will receive four fresh, locally grown flower bouquets.
The bouquets will feature a variety of seasonal blooms and foliage and represent the best of our seasonal flower crop. This subscription includes four themed bouquets including narcissus, anemone, ranunculus, and peony. If you would prefer a different focal flower or integration of specific flowers let us know and we can accommodate if the blooms are available.
3. Pickup/Delivery Options:
Subscribers can choose between pick-up and delivery.
We have pick-up locations at Phillips Cider Mill in St. Johns (Wednesday after noon), Pleasant City Coffee in Mount Pleasant (Fridays after 4:00), and at FlowerBird Farm in Mount Pleasant (Friday 4-5:30 and Saturday 9-11). You have no idea how stressed we all get when a bouquet is not picked up at the location and time. We worry about you and the flowers! The flowers, once wrapped and ready are fresh and await your pick-up. If you miss your time the blooms just don’t last despite our best efforts and the bouquets will be composted. Bouquets must be picked up within 24 hours of drop off at Pleasant City or Phillips Cider Mill. Pick-up at FlowerBird Farm will be available only at the scheduled times.
Delivery is offered in Mount Pleasant proper for a fee per bouquet and is dependent on location. If you are unsure if your location qualifies, reach out to us at FlowerBirdFarm22@gmail.com.
Pickup and delivery will be communicated via text or email.
4. Payment Terms:
Full payment for the entire subscription period is required at the time of sign-up.
We accept credit/debit cards, PayPal and ApplePay.
With a minimum of 48 hours advance notice, we can reschedule your bouquet pick-up or delivery for a different week. Once we harvest and prepare the bouquet, we cannot accommodate cancellations, and no credit will be given for missed bouquets.
5. Membership Transfers:
If you are unable to pick up your bouquet/s the bouquet can be transferred to a designated person (just let us know). Please make sure your designee adheres to the pick-up time and location scheduled.
6. Cancellation Policy:
Refunds are not provided for canceled subscriptions.
In exceptional cases, a pro rata credit for the remaining weeks may be issued if the cancellation is due to unforeseen circumstances. In case you had to look up pro rata (I did) it means proportional. So, keep us in the loop, give us notice, and we will work with you. We all need a little grace.
7. Communication:
Subscribers will receive a welcome email with details about the start date, pick-up information, and contact details.
Updates and important information will be communicated through text or email.
When you check out give us the best way to contact you. I find text works really well and is my preferred way to communicate. Email is also good so make sure you provide an email you check regularly. We want to get you the information you need and keep you updated on any changes, scheduling and availability.
8. Additional Flower Availability:
Bouquet subscribers may have the opportunity to purchase additional flowers or specialty bouquets. If you pick-up on the farm you will see our glorious explosion of flowers. Feel free to have a look. We are happy to make extra bouquets and take requests for flowers in your weekly bouquets. Just let us know and we are happy to help you with your flower requests.
9. Weather and Crop Variability:
Weather conditions and crop availability can impact the timing of the subscription and the specific blooms available during the subscription period. In early spring, the varieties and blooms available are less predictable (but really amazing). Once we have a hard frost the blooms fade fast. We appreciate your understanding if there are variations in the schedule and in the individual bouquets. We do promise to provide the best blooms available for your subscription. Our subscribers are our first priority with all our fresh flowers and during your subscription you will have your selection of our best blooms.
