No matter if you are coming from Ankeny, Johnston, Bondurant, Altoona, Urbandale, Clive, West Des Moines, Marshalltown, Fort Dodge, Maxwell, Nevada, Cambridge or anywhere else in Iowa, we’re your source for fresh from the farm flowers.

We provide two DIY options for special event flowers such as weddings, bridal showers, baby showers, anniversaries, birthday parties, graduation open houses, corporate gatherings and more. We do not provide custom flower arrangements but will provide recommendations on the best flowers to choose for your event based on the date and type of event and your preferred color palate.

The first option is a DIY flower bucket curated and cut by farm staff based on your desired color palate and blooming season. These DIY buckets are available for pickup based on your selected date and time. Having farm staff pick your flowers ensures you get the freshest blooms that are ready when you need them.

The second option is a U-Cut flower bucket. This lower cost option allows you to visit the farm and fill a flower bucket during one of our regularly scheduled U-Cut flower sessions. If you cut flowers at the right stage, most of them will have a vase life of 5-7 days so timing of your event with a U-Cut session is very important.
