Lilies and other June flowers at Butternut Gardens
Lilies are always popping at Butternut Gardens. Can't wait 'til June when all the lilies start. If you want to share in the beauty of flowers all season, why not choose one of my flower subscription services (limited to delivery in Southport, Fairfield, Westport, lower Weston). Then you could have flowers delivered right to your doorstep weekly, biweekly or monthly from Spring to Fall.

One of the joys of flower farming is following all the changes that take place during the course of a growing season and seeing "what's going to come next."
Through the Butternut Gardens Subscription Service, many loyal customers also share in the joy of new flowers every week and the joy of anticipating "what's going to come next."
I am happy to offer several types of subscriptions to meet individual interests and budgets.
An early summer selection.
Quite a few subscribers receive flowers every week.
Some choose to have fully-made bouquets delivered.
Others choose the 'bucket' option and create their own arrangements from a mixture of loose flowers.
I often hear that a number of flowers make it into the second week, although others, we know, are expectedly more fleeting.
There are many times when I would love to see how the 'bucket' subscribers choose to display their floral bounty.
Bi-weekly subscriptions are also popular. As just mentioned, a number of flowers last longer than a week, although I would not count on that for the majority of blooms.
Flowers delivered every other week can also come as fully-prepared bouquets or as 'bucket' subscriptions.
One of the most fun parts of subscriptions is that you really do NOT know what is coming next!
Sure, it might be the time of year when Phlox is bountiful, but with what will it be paired? Will it be a monochromatic offering with all lavender or all pink or all white blooms? Will it be sheer Phlox ecstasy - purple, pink, white, deep pink, pink and white swirled phlox all bunched together? What special little accent flower shall I add this week? Mountain mint, perhaps? Flower subscriptions are truly gifts and surprises!

The third season-long subscription option is the monthly option. Every month fresh flowers arrive at your doorstep.
This seems to be the perfect floral pick-me-up for many subscribers. It is also a very popular gift item - just enough, but not too much - and a full season's worth! For many, it makes their month.
Going from one month to the next, subscribers see the biggest difference in blooms, because what a difference a month makes in the gardens.
It is the difference between peonies and tulips to phlox, iris and daisies; the jump from sunflowers and zinnias to dahlias and chrysanthemums.
For those who are not certain about receiving flowers regularly, I also offer a one-month trial of four bouquets. This is another perfect gift item. Generally, the biggest concern about flower subscriptions is, "What happens if I want to take vacation?" I try to be as flexible as possible, and change delivery weeks or double up on flowers other weeks, to best accommodate. Somehow it all works! Many thanks to my flower subscription customers. I love growing your flowers and surprising you with what comes next.
