Summer Bouquet Subscription
Our Summer Bouquet Subscription includes six wrapped bouquets of our most colorful annuals and perennials that thrive during the Michigan Summers. Our summer subscriptions reflect the beauty of Pure Michigan blooms. Each wrapped bouquet includes an abundance of fresh local flowers from our farm, including large and showy Blomma Zinnia, clusters of Lisianthus, pink and white hydrangea, bright sunflowers, early Dahlia, and specialty spikes of Snapdragons, Veronica, and Delphinium. We love to add the “sparkle” with Clematis vines and cut flowers, Poppy pods, delicate Love-in-the-mist flowers and capsules, Feverfew branches, and fragrant herbs and greens. Our flowers are grown here in Mount Pleasant using sustainable and pollinator-friendly agricultural practice.
Subscriptions start mid-June and continuing through to August, 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 starting mid-June dependent on the weather and availability of flowers. 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. Summer is gorgeous in Michigan and we know you may have vacation and life plans and there may be weeks you are not able to pick-up flowers. We will work with you and plan for getting flowers in your hands when the weather cooperates and we can all make it work.
This subscription includes six bouquets. Bouquets reflect the flowers available each week. As a subscriber you are a priority. This truly is a shared harvest, so if flowers are blooming, we are happy to make you a bouquet that captures our best blooms and the summer abundance.
Summer Bouquet Subscription Policy
1. Subscription Period:
Our Summer Bouquet Subscription program operates on a seasonal basis, with 6 guaranteed bouquets starting in June and into August. We anticipate weekly flower bouquets with some flexibility for subscriber vacations or reduced availability. We are happy to be flexible dependent on the bloom timing and availability. Communicate with us if you have special specific needs, planned time away or need accommodations. The bouquets should bring joy…help us to make sure they do!
2. Flower Bouquets:
Subscribers will receive six 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. If you prefer specific focal flowers or color themes 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. Times will be arranged. 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.
