Quality Plants and Flowers

Everywhere you look these days people are selling plants and flowers. Your local grocery store, the home repair store, mega retail nurseries, and anyone else with half a reason is selling plants and flowers. With so many places to choose from how can you make sure you get quality for your money?
The best way is to find a good local florist that you can trust.
Florists make sure they keep flowers in stock that are of the highest quality, usually importing them in from the best places in the world. It is just good business. Bad quality flowers don’t last. You can keep them looking fresh by putting them into a cooler but as soon as they come out they quickly wilt. This is what you get at your local grocery. They buy the lowest quality flowers in bulk, price them at their normal mark up and pass the savings and poor quality on to you. If the florist were to buy these bad quality flowers and send them out in their deliveries people would stop buying from them. Could you imagine getting flowers for congratulations on your baby and before you even got home the flowers were dead? Not only would you not be impressed but you also would remember to not use that florist. So when you go into a florist to buy fresh flowers you can count on them being high quality. If in doubt you can just ask the florist. They will be happy to guide you to the flowers in the shop that best suits your needs.
Plants are much the same story. Your local florist will usually know the best local greenhouse. The two will develop a great partnership over the years that benefit the customers. Buying plants that are grown locally by a quality greenhouse ensure that the plants are healthy and have been well taken care of. The local home care store does a similar thing with plants that the grocery stores do with flowers. They often have plants on hand simply because it is what corporate headquarters sends out to them. If the plants were not meant to be in your climate or if they were handled poorly while being shipped, they usually will not last long once you get them home.
There are a couple other advantages to going into your florist. One is that you can talk to someone that deals with plants and flowers every day, not just the person assigned to the floral department at that given time. They can answer your questions and give you helpful advice about what you are looking for. Even if you come up with something they have not heard before your florist would love to find the answer for you. The other benefit is that they can get just about any special requests for you if given enough time. Sometimes they can get what you are looking for that same day if the plant or flower is available. If you find a local florist you can trust they can take care of all your plant and flower needs.
