Produce isn’t the only thing that’s in season right now. Indulging in freshly cut flowers offers another way to enjoy the local bounty. DNK has been in business for over four years, specializing in annuals that are grown from seed in their greenhouse.
Reasons for buying flowers locally:
- DNK farmers know their flowers, because they grow them. They are at the market to explain how to keep their flowers lasting for as long as possible.
- Most cut flowers are grown in South America where they have less chemical restrictions. Locally grown flowers are simply safer and travel less distance.
- Buying flowers locally greatly reduces fuel consumption. Buying flowers at the market, as opposed to a flower shop, saves even more petroleum, because the flowers are coming directly from the farm.
- Flowers make a wonderful, environmentally friendly gift. They are compostable and needn’t end up in a landfill.
