With the traditional harvest season wrapping up, most of us are settling in for the dark, cold winter ahead and making plans for gatherings with loved ones.
If you’re a long-time Humble Bee customer, you may already know that my inspiration for this business model came from the Slow Food tradition. Slow Flowers. Embracing the season, rather than trying to defy it. A complete embrace would see us already limiting the palette to evergreens, berries, seed pods, branches, and dried flowers. And I’m happy to create something like that for you! (And will be, in December.) But in this “shoulder season” we still have some seasonally appropriate choices, and I’ll be mixing hyperlocal ingredients with some fun supplements from the US cut flower capital, California.
If your Thanksgiving table features potatoes and squash from local farms, and green beans that you froze this summer, it’s my hope that you’ll extend your dedication to local to the centerpiece, an arrangement for the buffet, or a sweet bud vase in the bath.
As my thanks to you for ordering early, fresh flowers are 10% off if reserved by November 20 with the code THANKFUL24.
