Six weeks of locally grown flowers delivered during late summer’s slow exhale. Early September is when the garden feels at its richest. Dahlias hit their stride and seem to multiply overnight. Sunflowers tower overhead. Amaranth spills in long tassels, strawflower keeps adding its papery texture, and the color palette begins to shift into something deeper: rust, plum, gold, burgundy, faded peach. There’s still plenty of abundance, but the season starts to feel more fleeting. The mornings cool down. The light changes. You notice sunset arriving a little earlier each week. These bouquets tend to carry that feeling, full and dramatic, but with a bit more moodiness than the bright peak of summer. This round always feels like a celebration of everything the garden learned how to do well before frost eventually takes it back. Big dahlias, unexpected textures, and the last stretch of flowers before autumn fully settles in. Bouquets are offered in one signature size, designed to feel generous enough for a dining table, kitchen island, or entryway.
