If you’ve never given much thought to where the flowers you buy for special events, holidays, get-well greetings, or “just because” come from, you may be surprised to know that it’s highly likely those blooms were imported from somewhere overseas. Fortunately for Colorado, more and more consumers have become more eco-conscious, a trend that has seen the local flower market bloom, with a steadily growing number of flower farms sprouting up all over the state. 

Supporting these local farms not only enriches a community economically, but it provides customers with a larger variety of flowers and eliminates the problems of supply chain glitches that could leave you with last-minute shortages on your wedding day. 

Buying flowers fresh from the field also means buying more seasonal flowers that will have a longer vase life. Support local agriculture by purchasing flowers from one of these farms from around the state.

Blossom and Branch Farm

Blossom and Branch is located in the Denver suburb of Lakewood, Colorado. This regenerative flower farm utilizes sustainability measures in every step of growing their field-fresh flowers. They offer on-demand courses, wedding selections, and barn rentals for private parties. Visit the farm on Saturday at their weekly market.

Blush Flowers on Vine

At Blush Flowers on Vine you can find a CSA, wedding packages, and floral touches for any and every event. They offer a remarkable number of seasonal flowers growing each June through October. Part of the North Colorado Flower Community, they supply florists throughout the area, but they don’t have farm tours or have their own retail store.

For more than 35 years, the Boulder Flower Farm has provided north Colorado residents with boutique flowers for everything from everyday greetings to life’s most special events.
