All About Featherstone’s Cut-Flower Bouquet CSA
Our Cut-Flower
Bouquet CSA
What is a CSA?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. Your upfront payment for the Featherstone Bouquet CSA goes a long way in helping our garden buy needed supplies for the coming year.
What do you get as a member of Featherstone’s Cut-Flower Bouquet CSA?
CSA Members receive a lovely bi-weekly bouquet of locally-grown flowers pre-arranged and packaged in brown paper. Pickup your flowers at one of our two Detroit gardens. (5-total bouquets (weather permitting), picked up every other week for 10 weeks).
Where is the bi-weekly Featherstone Bouquet pickup?
Be sure to select the Eastside Bouquet CSA if you would like to pick up your flowers on Detroit’s East Side (4178 Lakepointe St., MorningSide Detroit), or our Downtown Detroit Bouquet CSA if you would like to pick-up your flowers Downtown (2202 Second Ave. Detroit). Please note that the pickup dates vary depending on the pickup location you choose.
What flower varieties can you expect in a Featherstone Bouquet?
Featherstone’s cut flower varieties for this year include: amaranth, bachelor buttons, basil, calendula, celosia, chamomile, gomphrena, strawflowers, sunflowers, wild carrots, zinnias and more!
Why buy local flowers?
Almost 80% of fresh flowers sold in the US are not grown in North America and shipping flowers from other countries incurs additional transportation, energy and storage costs. Additionally, locally grown flowers don’t lose their natural fragrance and color during shipping and can be cut in the morning and in a bouquet that evening, making them truly fresh. And of course, the production and sale of locally grown flowers contributes to our community’s economy.
