Sat@LoCoFlo: Your Weekend Routine
Tags: Sat@LoCoFlo, At LoCoFloNote: We will be closed Dec 18 - Feb 8
Saturdays at LoCoFlo has become our favorite event. It's the bomb. We get to talk about flowers, show off our weekly local display from the farms and our dope shop, hang out with friends, meet new people, have kid and animal visitors.
What is it?
Sat@LoCoFlo is our weekly flower hang out. Bring your Blacksauce. Build a bouquet. Design an arrangement. Pick up your order. Sat@LoCoFlo is scheduled 8:00AM-12:00PM.
How it Works
Just drop in. We're only a half-block from the farmers market. We display all of our flowers to you to pick out by the stem. We'll also have some pre-mades. Use our order form and we will have your flowers ready to pick up (give us a couple of days notice). Chat with our knowledgeable team about the varieties, the farms and design. It's the place to be.
Hope to see you there!

Ordering Wrapped Bouquets
Tags: Stuff You Can BuyHow It Works
We offer flower orders for pick up at our shop on Saturday mornings. Fill out our order form. We will email a confirmation and invoice to you for online payment.
All of the flowers we use are locally grown by our farmer friends, and custom designed in our studio.
Wrapped bouquets are designed and ready for a vase. They are wrapped in brown craft paper which can be recycled or reused. We can also provide an eco-wrap to keep your flowers hydrated if needed.
Our dedication to sustainability and exclusively sourcing local flowers determines how we work. The arrangement is made with the best stuff we have at the time of the design. We don't always know in advance what flowers will be in your arrangement. We do know they will be awesome!
It's weird. We know our model isn't for everyone, but you know who you are if it is, and we want to be your florist.
