Locally Grown & Seasonally Available Flora

Flowers from the traditional floral trade travel hundreds of miles in refrigerated compartments of airplanes and semi trucks, often out of water and having to sit for days in a chemical quarantine to ensure no foreign pests or diseases enter into the United States as they cross borders. Local flowers don’t have to go through such a crazy journey to get to their end consumer. You can know exactly where your flowers were grown, when they were harvested, and what chemicals (or lack thereof) they came into contact with. 
​
Bleed Heart Floral grows a wide variety of plants, many of which don't travel well making them hard to find or very expensive. 
​We still grow all of the favorites like tulips, sunflowers, and dahlias but look for heirloom and unique cultivars in addition to the less common plants. There are over 100 flower and foliage varieties growing here, including many native to the Minnesota prairies.

​Cultivating Healthy Plants, Soils, & Community

Our farming practices promote ecological diversity of fauna and flora.  Because we adhere to an organic and minimal-till agricultural philosophy, our field is teaming with beneficial insects and soils alive with micro and macro organisms. Our farm is not one monocropped swath of land thus our pest pressure is low and we have no need for traditional pesticides, allowing this biological diversity to thrive.
​
We strive to use 100% locally grown flowers during the Minnesota grow season, roughly from mid-May to mid-October. What we can't grow on our farm, we source from other farmers in the area. This fosters community among small farmers  and encourages growth in your local economy. You know exactly where & who your money is going toward.

Local Means Seasonal


 We work with the natural cycles of our climate here in Minnesota, meaning our flowers bloom with the seasons. While you may not be able to find peonies in September, seasonal farming allows for arrangements that speak to the time of year they were created. This does mean some flexibility as every season is nuanced. 
​
Using what is in season ensures that those flowers will remind you of that arrangement for years to come. For example, the lilacs we use in early spring weddings bloom in early spring every year, making their emergence a reminder of joy and celebration.
