DO YOU HAVE A SHOP?

Flowerwell does not have a shop or a retail location. We design out of a private studio and offer our flowers at various outlets throughout our season.

WHAT IS THE SIZE OF YOUR FARM?

Our farm expands each year, but currently, we are growing on about an acre and a half.

WHO TAKES YOUR PHOTOS?

Lindsay Stephany Photography is the creative genius behind many of our farm photos! We work with many talented photographers for our wedding work.

CAN I USE YOUR PHOTOS?

CAN WE HAVE OUR PHOTO SESSION AT YOUR FARM?

Due to our full schedule and land limitations, we limit our photo sessions to working with Lindsay Stephany Photography. These photo sessions are planned in advance. If you are interested, please reach out to Lindsay.

IS YOUR FARM OPEN TO THE PUBLIC?

Due to our busy schedule during flower season, we can not accommodate visitors to the farm. While our farm is filled with beautiful flowers, it is a farm and not a garden. We grow our flowers to be cut and used, which is quite different than the purpose of a garden. If you do have the itch to see a beautiful garden, we recommend checking out Sara’s Garden & Nursery, Sonnenburg Gardens, Maplewood Rose Garden, and Linwoods Garden.

DO YOU DELIVER FLOWERS?

Yes! We would be more than happy to deliver a flower arrangement for you. Please purchase through our online Shop!

I’M INTERESTED IN LEARNING ABOUT FLOWER FARMING AND/OR DESIGNING. CAN I MEET WITH YOU?

Jenny Rae teaches fun design workshops to the public at the Rochester Brainery throughout the year. Private consultations and floral design workshops are available for flower enthusiasts, gardeners, and folks interested in flower farming. Farming consultations are available only to those outside of 175 miles from Rochester, NY.

WILL YOU BE HOSTING ANY ON-FARM WORKSHOPS?

We currently do not have any scheduled however this is in the works for 2021.

WHAT DO I GET IN MY FLOWER CSA/ “SHARE”?

The bouquet share consists of one lovely, lush, hand-tied bouquet designed by the Flowerwell team featuring our beautiful, heirloom flowers. Members simply fill a vase at home with fresh water, snip the ends of the flower stems, and place the bouquet in the vase for a beautiful addition to their home or office.

WHEN DOES THE FLOWER CSA BEGIN?

Our Summer Flower Share is from the second week in July through the second week in August, 6 weeks total. Our Fall share is September through the first week in October, 5 weeks total.

WHAT WILL MY FLOWER SHARE BE PACKED IN?

Flower bouquet shares will be wrapped in kraft paper sleeves. Bouquets will be ready for you in buckets of water, if you are taking multiple bouquets (perhaps picking up a friend’s), you are welcome to grab a bucket and take it home.

WILL THE BOUQUETS BE DIFFERENT EVERY WEEK?

Our aim is to deliver unique bouquets jam-packed with our heirloom blooms - some you may have never even seen before! Each week we will surprise you with new combinations of flowers, fillers, foliage and grasses. You know how some surprises are bad? This one certainly ISN’T.

HOW LONG WILL MY FLOWERS LIVE?

This is a tricky question. Some flower varieties last longer than others. But some are so pretty we still want to enjoy them for the few days they supply us with their beauty! On average, your bouquet should last you 3-5 days if not more. When certain blooms become wilty, just pluck them out and continue enjoying your bouquet.

WHERE + WHEN DO I PICK UP MY SHARE?

Pick-up locations include Kirby’s Farm Market, Ogden, at Christian Community Church, Glen Edith Coffee on Elton St. (NEW Rochester location), and a selection of companies in Rochester. Each pick-up location has its own day for pick-up. You will pick your pickup location & corresponding date upon check-out via Kirby’s website.

Glen Edith Coffee (Elton St., Rochester) Tuesdays 2-6pm
Kirby’s Farm Market (Brockport) Tuesdays + Saturdays 1pm-7pm
Community Christian Church (Rochester) Tuesdays 4-6pm
Gleason works & Rochester Tech Park- employees only Tuesdays

HOW DO I TAKE CARE OF MY FLOWERS?

Here are the tips + tricks to live by for caring for your flowers:
1. When you are ready to put your bouquet in water, snip 1/4 inch off of the ends of your flowers with sharp scissors.
2. Place your flowers in a CLEAN vase with cold water. Dirty vases will cause the flowers to deteriorate quicker.
3. Remove any leaves that will end up in the water. They will dirty the water fast!
4. Place your vase of flowers in a place out of direct sunlight! But they look so good in the kitchen window… and they grow in the sun… No. Cut Flowers should never be placed in a hot, sunny spot. Just like fruit, they will spoil far faster in the sun.
5. Compost your flowers when they are done. Give them back to the earth as opposed to filling landfills!

WHAT FLOWERS WILL BE IN MY CSA SHARE?

Here at Flowerwell, we grow hundreds of different varieties of flowers. The beauty of the CSA share is that you get to enjoy our blooms as they come into season each week.  As Mother Nature goes by her own schedule, we cannot predict what specific flowers will be available each week. What we can promise is that your flower share will contain a truly unique assortment of beautiful local blooms that we grew just for you to enjoy.  Flower varieties and colors will vary from week to week.

WHEN CAN I SIGN UP?

Sign up will be opening in Feb/ March. Summer and Full Season Flower bouquet share will close once the share begins (second week of July), but the Fall Bouquet share will remain open until that begins (or is sold out!)

WHERE DO I PURCHASE THE FLOWER SHARE?

Via Kirby’s CSA Website or at Kirby’s Farm Market!
Address: 9739 W Ridge Rd, Brockport, NY 14420

IS THERE A DISCOUNT IF I SIGN UP FOR BOTH THE SUMMER AND FALL BOUQUET SHARE?

You know it! We love how much you love flowers.
Discount for Summer + Fall Share 10%

CAN I SIGN UP FOR A FLOWER SHARE AND A SHARE WITH KIRBY’S?

Most definitely! We highly encourage you to take advance of the bountiful fruit and vegetable CSA with Kirby’s in addition to the Flower CSA. Talk about swimming in locally grown goodness!

HOW DO YOU COMMUNICATE WITH CSA MEMBERS?

When you purchase your CSA Share, please provide both your Email address (the one you actually look at!) and your cell phone number. We will send weekly reminders when the shares begin. In the meantime, if you have any questions, you can contact us at jennyrae@flowerwellny.com

WHAT IF I FORGET TO PICK UP MY SHARE OR I’M ON VACATION?

You can switch pickup days within the same week, as long as you give Kirby’s at least seven days notice. Our week starts Sunday and ends Saturday. For example, if you normally pick up on Thursday at Public Market, you can switch your pickup day to the previous Tuesday or the following Saturday, and pick up your share at the farm market.
You can arrange with someone (friend or relative) to pick up your box anytime you are on vacation (that lucky dog sitter!).
We do not offer credits for weeks missed, so don’t snooze (or at least if you do, text a friend to share it with them).
