“ I ’ ve always loved making things pretty .”
— Samantha Young
She said the week of the bride ’ s wedding , she ’ ll often invite them out to the field to see what ’ s growing . “ It lets them see what ’ s going on in the field and if there is anything sticking out to them that maybe wasn ’ t on the original idea list and then we just go from there .”
They also end up with flowers that will last longer . “ We harvest specifically for their wedding ,” she said . More than 80 % of flowers sold in the United States come from outside the U . S ., so they spend several days in transit .
“ When you purchase from us , they were cut yesterday ,” said Samantha . “ You ’ re getting six extra days from your bouquets .”
She and her husband have big plans for the future . “ Our dream is to be the largest producer of specialty cut flowers in the Southeast ,” she said . “ Anybody that needs specialty cut flowers , we want to be their person .” C
