HILL HOUSE FLOWERS
Hey Flower Friends! Deanna here, and I am so glad you are checking out our locally grown flowers! We grow and sell our flowers here in Thomasville, GA- Just a little over a mile from downtown. What started as a 10ft bed turned into almost 2,500 sq. ft., so WILD! Truly has been so fun seeing the flowers you choose and knowing the joy it brings to others.
SO WHY LOCAL FLOWERS?
WHEN WE GOT MARRIED IN 2020, MY MOM AND I WENT TO A WHOLSALE SHOP AND ORDERED MY FLOWERS. IT WAS QUITE SURPISING TO FIND OUT THAT MAJORITY OF THE FLOWERS WERE BEING FLOWN IN FROM PLACES LIKE SOUTH AFRICA, SOUTH AMERICA, AND OTHER COUNTRIES DEPENDING ON VARIETY. BUT THIS JUST SEEMS NORMAL, RIGHT?
BY THE TIME THESE FLOWERS GET TO YOUR STORE, THEY HAVE TRAVELED QUITE A DISTANCE AND ALSO HALF THEIR VASE LIFE IS GONE.
FACTS:
EACH YEAR 1.1 BILLION FLOWERS ARE IMPORTED FOR VALENTINES DAY.
80% OF FLOWERS IN THE U.S ARE IMPORTED.
NOW ALTHOUGH MY BACKYARD AND THE LAND OF A FEW OTHERS GROWERS IN THOMAS COUNTY CAN MAKE AN IMPACT, WE DO NEED YOUR HELP. WHETHER YOU’RE TAKING FLOWERS TO A NEW MOM, GIFTING A BIRTHDAY BOUQUET, WANTING SUSTAINABLE WEDDING FLOWERS, OR A BRIGHT JAR OF BLOOMS FOR YOUR TABLE- THINK LOCAL.
