Bodacious Bouquets....Get yours!

There are many ways to get your Earthworks Gardens Bodacious Armload Bouquets!

Here at Earthworks Gardens were grow our own beautiful flowers and create awesome bouquet designs, ready to place in your favorite vase. You might have to get a larger vase though....I can't make a tiny bouquet! Our bouquets are large with long premium stem length. All of our flowers are picked fresh and only handled by us! No shipping in from South America, no dangerous chemicals, no middlemen and tons of brokers in between. Grown for you, by your neighbors!
We offer several different programs, one will surely fit your vase! The subscription system helps both of us. We get more cash to work with up front to purchase supplies and pay workers, and in turn you get an overall lower price. All subscriptions must be paid in full. The week of May 3rd they should start and continue thru the last weekend in Sept. Remember, this is farming and we can't control the weather! The last 2-3 wks. of the season, may be dried bouquets. If you would like to pick up more than one in any week, say you are having a party, not a problem, but you must call ahead. Also, if you are signed up for St. Peter, but need to pick up in Mankato that week, it is okay, BUT only if you have notified us by Tuesday.
Our standard bodacious armload bouquet is $15.

Programs are for 10 or 16 wks. There are normally 19 harvest wks. in our flower year. This will give us both breathing room. You can skip when on vacation, and we can skip if we are rained out.
We provide a tissue wrapped, sleeved bouquet.

PYO
We also offer pick your own for a single bouquet $15. minimum or bucketfuls for a wedding.
Pick your own, means just that. You bring your water, buckets, tools etc. We point you in the general direction, advise you of the pricing and you are on your own. If we need to go along...it is not pyo, or the pyo pricing either.

Bouquet on Demand? We do not usually have bouquets for sale in the field. It is usually too hot or windy for them to hold up. We can usually cut on demand, but not always, depends on our field schedule. You can always call and order at least 1 day in advance. (a bouquet 'on demand' is not part of the program, they would be seperate purchases)

Refund Policy; If we are not able to provide flower bouquets for 16 weeks, we will refund at a pro-rated price the bouquets you did not recieve. The causes could be hail, another tornado, crop failure, early frost. Our variety is very diverse, which helps us to provide a continuous supply of blooms. If you cannot pick-up your 16 bouquets, we do not give refunds for that.
