Why wait for someone to treat you with flowers when you could treat yourself?
Shifting Blooms bouquet subscriptions are the perfect gift for yourself or someone special, all summer long. Each bouquet contains the best and freshest flowers available from the garden.
How does it work?
This year’s bouquet subscription will be offered in Saskatoon, SK, or for pickup at the farmstand just outside of Clavet. Members will have at least 2 dates each month to choose from to pick up their bouquet.
The bouquets are all different, so you never know what you’ll get each month!
At the beginning of each month of your subscription, you’ll receive an email from me with a quick form to choose your pickup date. I’ll email you a couple of hours before pickup the day of as a reminder.
Bouquets are not refundable, but are transferable to another person. If there is a crop failure in June, you’ll get a second bouquet in either August or September.
Pickups are usually on weekday evenings at 6:30 p.m. and occasionally on Sunday afternoons. You are welcome to pick up your subscription from the acreage near Clavet within 1 day if you are unable to make the scheduled pickup time. You can pick up your bouquet at the acreage anytime during the month with 24 hours’ notice.
All pickups are in the shopping centre parking lot on Meadows Parkway, across from Costco. I try to park in the same spot every time, near the Tim Hortons and Scotia Bank.
What types of flowers can I expect?
While I can’t guarantee down to the flower what will be in your bouquet, I can give you an idea of what will likely be featured each month. During the monthly emails to pick your date, I’ll let you know exactly what’s in bloom!
June
Think fragrant peonies and stunning ranunculus, with sweet-scented stock, early snapdragons, and other cool-season favourites. If my tulip crops are successful, you may find a few of those tucked in your bouquet, too!
July
Mid-July is when the cutting garden really starts to shine! Lilies will grace us with their presence, along with a few early sunflowers in lighter summery shades. You may also see earlier zinnias, yarrow, delphiniums, and feverfew.
August
Did somebody say, dahlia? The queen of flowers herself will be in bloom and will be in your bouquet. There might also be darker shades of sunflowers, dramatic amaranth, plenty of zinnias, and lemon-scented basil.
Shifting Blooms is known for making unique bouquets, so don’t be surprised if you find some interesting elements in your bouquet that you haven’t seen anywhere else.
So go on, treat yourself or someone you love to a summer filled with flowers. Subscriptions are $135, and spots are limited, so don’t delay!
