SUSTAINABLE FLOWER FARMING & THE SLOW FLOWER MOVEMENT

We are a family-owned farm committed to growing & designing the freshest flowers using almost entirely organic and sustainable methods. Our planting selections are focused on producing specialty colors, textures, and hard to find varieties- this year we are growing over 100 unique varieties of dahlias alone.

Why local flowers?

We are part of the local, slow flower movement. The overwhelming majority of flowers purchased in the United States are still grown overseas (mainly Colombia and other areas of S. America) and have been subjected to dangerous pesticides/chemicals and poor labor laws on their journey to the U.S. The flowers at grocery stores and other retail stores (there’s no mistaking them) are often almost a week old when purchased.

Supporting locally grown flowers allows us to instead offer gorgeous blooms that you can feel good about bringing into your home. It allows us to be able to grow and offer flowers that don’t do well being shipped across the world and left without adequate hydration for days. By supporting local you’re also helping save the planet from the huge expenditure of fossil fuels by the planes, ships, and trucks refrigerating these flowers constantly.Our flowers are happier and unique and often thrive for such a long time (often a week or even two!) compared to imported alternatives.

You can find our flowers at select markets around the Magnolia/Canton/Akron areas, or can purchase a custom arrangement/bouquet for delivery and/or take part in our CSA floral subscription service. Our flower farm cannot accommodate visitors during the busy growing season but we do offer select on-farm events throughout the year. Please follow us on social media for updates.

You can also hire Fleurescent by Magnolia Spring Farm for your next event! Please click here for more info regarding our wedding floral design options. For smaller gatherings and parties (think showers, birthday parties, bachelorette, corporate outings, etc.), we can create custom flower bars, flower crown stations, or hold a group arranging session.
