frequently asked questions

what is a farmer-florist?

  • a farmer-florist is an individual or business that both grows and arranges flowers. farmer-florists like us use the flowers we grow to fill orders, often customizing our growing space to suit the needs of specific clients.

what are your road stand hours?

  • Our road stand is typically open from 9am-7pm every Friday through Sunday during the local growing season (April through October).

    For updates on potential closures or sell-outs, please follow us on social media @flowersfrom12th.

what sets you apart from traditional florists?

  • our business prioritizes locally and organically-grown seasonal flowers- mostly grown right on our farm in Quakertown- to ensure our clients receive fresh, long-lasting, and unique arrangements every time they purchase with us.

    we’re also committed to sustainable design practices in our floral work. instead of using floral foam, a toxic product that leeches chemicals and microplastics, we utilize reusable, recyclable, or compostable floral mechanics to reduce our environmental impact.

do you offer delivery services?

  • we offer delivery on everyday design orders up to 15 miles from from our farm/studio for an additional fee, ranging between $5-25 depending on the distance the delivery is and the amount of advanced notice we receive on an order.

    we will also travel to deliver florals for events (up to 50 miles from our studio) and weddings (up to 75 miles from our studio). fees are based on a rate of $1.50 per mile traveled.

do you accept same-day orders?

  • due to our business model, we are only able to accept same-day orders placed before 10am on the day of fulfillment. our flowers are fresh-picked for every order, and must be picked in the coolest part of the day to maintain our quality standards.

    we ideally prefer orders be placed a minimum of two days prior to fulfillment.

do you offer on-farm experiences?

  • Yes!*

    We have a road stand that people are welcome to shop from during open hours, and plan to have a pick-your-own-space available in 2025 as well. Guests who join us for on-farm workshops are also invited into our private fields to pick and arrange their own flowers with the guidance of our owner.

    *Please note that our business is run from our home, and we are not a traditional flower shop with a storefront and open hours. Please respect our privacy and only stop by when our road stand is open, or with the express permission of our owner and a set appointment.

do you have booking minimums?

  • Yes, to meet and exceed our clients’ expectations, we do require certain services to meet a booking minimum.

    Weddings (full-service) must have a minimum budget of $6,000. Microweddings and elopements must have a minimum budget of $450.

    Events must have a minimum budget of $300. Flower bars and private workshops must have a minimum budget of $500.

Do you accept orders outside of the local growing season?

  • Since our flower field is put to bed during the winter months, we do not accept everyday design orders during the months of November through March. You’ll see an “out for season” banner on our everyday design products during these months, but we do offer other options for gifting like floral subscriptions or bouquet certificates at those times.

    We are able to discuss options for larger orders, like weddings and events during these months. For more information on these specific services, please contact us.
