Three Reasons to Buy American-Grown Flowers this Thanksgiving

With Thanksgiving approaching, many of us are focused on creating a warm and festive atmosphere as our families and friends gather to celebrate things they are thankful for. One simple yet impactful way to elevate your holiday celebration is by choosing American-grown flowers. Here’s just a few reasons to support local flower and foliage farmers this Thanksgiving:

1. When You Support Local Farmers You Support the Local Economy
   Buying American-grown flowers, allows you to directly support local farmers and their families. The U.S. floral industry contributes billions to the economy, and buying locally helps keep that money circulating within your community. It also ensures fair wages and sustainable farming practices, benefiting both workers and the environment.
2. Fresher, Longer-Lasting Blooms
   Flowers grown closer to home don’t have to endure long shipping times, meaning they’re fresher when they reach your home. Fresher flowers last longer, ensuring your Thanksgiving centerpiece stays vibrant throughout the weekend.
3. Reduced Environmental Impact
   Choosing locally grown flowers means fewer carbon emissions from transportation. U.S. florists who source locally reduce the need for air freight, making your floral arrangements not only more eco-friendly but also a more sustainable option for your holiday celebrations.

This Thanksgiving, make a difference with your floral choices—buy American-grown flowers and add a little extra beauty, meaning gratitude to your holiday!
