DIY Bucket, Farmers Choice
DIY Bucket, Farmers Choice
From early July through September:
A bulk bucket is a great option if you are looking to source the best of what is currently growing in the field. Each bucket is filled with a variety of focal flowers, filler flowers, and foliage or greenery. We are unable to promise to include any specific flower varieties. The farmers will select a seasonal variety of colors and textures. You can expect to make 4-6 mason jar-size arrangements or bouquets per bucket.
For DIY buckets, our clients pick up at our farm in Hulls Cove 1-2 days before the event. If your event will take place on a Saturday, we can have your buckets ready as early as Thursday at 10:30am.
We suggest that you set aside at least a few hours for floral design in the days leading up to your event as it takes time to cut and arrange all the stems! It always takes a little longer than people expect.
We recommend keeping your flowers in a cool, dry space like a basement or air conditioned room, out of direct sunlight and the elements. Please check your buckets when you arrive at your destination after pick-up to make sure they are at least 1/3 full of cold, fresh water, just in case any splashed out in transit. When it comes time to make your arrangements, you’ll need:
A space that allows for a bit of a mess
Lots of table space
Access to water for filling your vases and flower vessels
Clean, sharp clippers or flower shears to cut through all the stems
A receptacle for cut stem debris (preferably compost!)
