2026 Flower Subscriptions: All Your Questions Answered!

Imagine getting to look forward to gorgeous fresh flowers every month!

A flower subscription is a pre-paid agreement where you receive a certain number of bouquets per month for an agreed upon length of time.

This year I'm trying to refer to the subscriptions as The Bouquet Club memberships to help make it easier for new customers to better understand what it is. I'm not doing a very good job at it, though. :)

By preselling memberships, I can plan for what flowers I need to grow as well as the quantities. It seems crazy, but I am starting a lot of seeds for the season in January and February. Planning is crucial, so subscriptions help me get an early head count. They also help provide the seed money (ha!) to pay for the seeds, corms, and bulbs for the upcoming year. These expenses add up extremely fast. I so appreciate those of you who buy a membership--you are helping me with managing my entire business in a roundabout way.

My subscription members get {spoiled}!! They get the best of the best! The bouquets are higher value than what you are actually paying. When I'm choosing flowers for my subscription members, they get the flowers that are the most cherished, and the ones that are the most limited.

The bouquets are absolutely beautiful! They come hand-tied and wrapped, ready to be placed in your favorite vase.

I can tell you with certainty that the flowers in my bouquets are fresh. They are cut, properly conditioned, and in your hands within approximately 24 hours. They beat grocery store flowers hands down. Their fragrance is amazing, refreshing, and natural. Plus, I use limited (if any) pesticides and insecticides. While I'm not certified organic, it's my goal to not use any of those chemicals on my flowers since I'm touching them all day long.

It isn't too early to be thinking about getting a Growing Hope Blooms flower subscription for the 2026 season! They do sell out, especially at the Rivet Coffee pickup location since it has more limited space.

What's a flower subscription? You choose your desired package, pay for it, and then next season you get to pick up the most beautiful flowers you've ever seen!

How does it work? When you sign up, you choose whichever package you prefer. You answer a few questions, including which day/time you'd like to pick up. You pay in advance for the whole season. I take it from there!

Next season, as soon as the garden is producing blooms, you'll be notified that your subscription is about to start.

You'll get an email reminder two days before when it's time to pick up your flowers. I ask that you confirm that you can pickup and will text you if I don't hear back. I also do my best to send a text reminder the morning of pickup.

This year there will be at least three pickup locations and more may be added. You can choose to pick up in Sheridan in my roadside flower cart, or you can pick up your subscription at Rivet Coffee Bar in Westfield, or Titus Bakery & Deli in Westfield near Grand Park.

This season was my third season for subscriptions, and I loved it! Each year it gets smoother as I learn how to better communicate with you all.

Rivet Coffee is an amazing place to pickup your flowers and have my favorite coffee and a treat. Some of you voiced that finding parking was a concern. Rivet is incredibly popular, and I get it! Now there is public parking south of Rivet about 200 steps away, as well as library parking just to the west.

New this year is the Titus Bakery & Deli location. I'm really excited to give you the option of later pickup hours since they are open until 6 pm. It also helps some of you parents and grandparents who may have little ones with you and need a fun activity to do together. Titus Donuts are above the rest, and I hear their meal options are delicious, too!

The Sheridan roadside cart is located directly in front of my home in Sheridan, about 12 minutes from Rivet and the north end of Grand Park, and ten minutes from Macgregor Park. It's an easy drive. You can pull over in front of the cart to grab your flowers, or pull into my driveway if you prefer. Either way, kids and dogs can stay in the car that way, and there's very little walking in rainy weather.

I'll have one different pickup day/time frame at the Sheridan cart (Thursdays 4-7 pm). Tuesday pickup options will include Rivet Coffee from 9 am-3 pm, or Titus Bakery & Deli from 9 am -6 pm.

Sometimes people buy multiple subscriptions, such as a tulip subscription along with a full-season one. Please place a note upon checkout if you'd like to pick them up at the same time, or at different times. Oftentimes people want two bouquets at the same time because they take one to the office or gift one, but sometimes customers want them spread out.

If you worry about not being away from home on pickup day, I will work with you to make it happen. You can send a friend to pickup, and sometimes I can move your pickup to a different week. If it's full and I can't move your pickup, you always have the option to pick up your flowers at my roadside cart at your convenience.

On that note, this past season I had several subscriptions that were actually purchased for a gift for someone else. You can absolutely do that! Just be sure to shop under Gift Subscriptions to purchase for someone else. I can send you a gift card for you to present to your loved one if you'd like. Locally grown fresh flowers have to be one of the best ideas ever--especially when you consider the subscription runs over several weeks or months, whichever you select.

If you're interested in joining, be watching Growing Hope Blooms on Facebook and your email for more information. I'll be kicking off the next year's subscription sign-ups with an early bird special for renewing subscribers. Everyone else will get the opportunity to buy on Black Friday. I believe my subscriptions will sell out this year, so be considering it if it's something you're interested in for yourself or for a gift!

Remember, current subscribers get first access to the next year's memberships. The online store opens to everyone on Black Friday!
