Support Local Flower Farmers This Summer
Summer is our favorite season because it’s when locally grown flowers are at their absolute best.
Throughout the summer, Lake Forest Flowers proudly purchases flowers from regional flower farmers whenever possible. Supporting local growers is part of our mission to spread beauty, strengthen our community, and showcase the incredible varieties that thrive right here in the Midwest.
July is American Flower Growers Month, making it the perfect time to celebrate the dedicated flower farmers who work tirelessly to bring fresh, seasonal blooms to our shop. While July is often a slower month for everyday floral purchases, it is one of the most abundant times of year for locally grown flowers—and there has never been a better time to enjoy them.
Enjoy Fresh Flowers All Summer with a Flower Subscription
Want fresh flowers in your home every week?
Our flower subscription service is one of the best ways to enjoy the beauty of each season while supporting local flower farms. Choose a weekly or twice-monthly flower subscription, and we’ll create handcrafted bouquets featuring the freshest flowers available throughout the summer.
Fresh flowers brighten your home, lift your mood, and make every week feel a little more special.
