Disappointingly, the Maple Ridge Bylaws Department won’t allow me to have a modest version of a tangible flower stand at the end of my driveway.

Having a Virtual Flower Stand, allows me to still offer the community accessible & convenient fresh cut blooms while working within the parameters of the current bylaws.

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture.

A CSA subscription benefits everyone involved — the subscriber, the grower and the wider community.

When you choose to buy directly from a local flower farm, you’re investing in more than beautiful blooms; you’re supporting sustainable farming practices, strengthening the local economy and fostering meaningful connections with the people who grow your flowers.

Your subscription provides Flowercraft with guaranteed orders, allowing us to plan each season with confidence, invest in sustainable growing practices and build a resilient small business. In return, you’ll receive fresh, seasonal flowers that celebrate the beauty of what is growing right here in your community.

Absolutely, they make a wonderful gift.

If you are opting to have the bouquets delivered vs pick up, the recipient would have to live in the places we deliver to: Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, PoCo, Coquitlam or Port Moody.

Every bouquet is unique and designed with what’s blooming in the garden.

Great care will have been taken to preserve the freshness of your cut flowers prior to you receiving them.

To get the longest vase life possible from your bouquets: use the floral preservative included with your order, change the water every few days and give the stems a fresh, angular cut. All flowers have varying vase lives; if you notice a flower starting to fade, remove it from the arrangement.

Beyond the vase…depending on how spent the blooms are, always consider drying the flowers to create your own everlasting arrangement. This allows you to really extend the enjoyment of your bouquet.

Drying the petals for flower confetti or pressing the blooms for creative projects, are also wonderful options.

Note: Flowers from Flowercraft Farm & Studio are not for edible use.

Dried flowers will last for months, even years with minimal care.

Ideally, don’t put/store any dried arrangements, art or confetti in a humid environment.

Keep dried flowers out of direct sunlight; if dried flowers are consistently in direct sun, the colour saturation will shift over time.

Over time as naturally dyed and eco-printed items are used, washed, exposed to sunlight and experience friction, their colours can shift; this is the evolving and dimensional beauty of natural pigment.

Ideal and recommended care is to hand wash all naturally dyed or eco printed textiles.

Always use cool to luke warm water and a pH neutral detergent. Never use stain remover or bleach.

If a delicate spot clean won’t do, then soak the item for as long as you feel is necessary and agitate by hand — don’t vigorously scrub — then rinse. Squeeze the water out, try not to wring the item and lay it flat to dry in indirect sunlight.

Every naturally dyed or eco-printed item can be ironed on a low setting once dried.

Note: Indigo can transfer to other fibres or surfaces with significant or repeated friction.

Enjoy it often. Wash it sometimes. Spot cleaning is better.

To preserve the hand stitching and the natural pigment, I recommend hand washing.

Delicately spot clean obvious stains using only cool or luke warm water and a pH neutral soap. Never use stain remover or bleach.

If the whole quilt needs attention, let it soak in luke warm water with a pH neutral soap, agitate by hand and then rinse. The bathtub is the ideal place to clean a quilt.

Do not twist and wring out your quilt; rather, gently squeeze the water out of it. Roll up the quilt in towels to soak up excess water and repeat if necessary. Lay it flat to dry in indirect sunlight.

I will never recommend using a washing machine or dryer to care for your quilt, but I am compelled to give some quidance as I want you to enjoy your quilt for years to come.

Always wash in cold water with a pH neutral detergent. Use a washing machine that has no centre agitator and the option to pick a delicate cycle with no or low spin. Include 3-4 Shout Color Catcher Sheets.

Do not twist or wring out your quilt; rather, squeeze the water out and roll it up in towels if there is excess water. Lay it flat to dry in indirect sunlight.

If you decide to put the quilt in the dryer, the wool batting will shrink a little — I do not wash or dry the wool batting. The fabric has been washed and hung to dry several times before being used. Use a low heat setting.

We are aiming for this fall…stay tuned!
