What's Coming to the Wedge Floral Department

A fabulous array of Len Busch Roses from Plymouth, MN. Their motto is "MN-grown, wildly fragrant." This greenhouse uses integrated pest management, spraying minimally and only if absolutely needed. The greenhouses are heated from a sustainable energy source. In addition to roses, they grow alstromeria (aka Peruvian lilies), gerbera daisies, potted bulbs (the tulips, hyacincth and daffodils in 4-6 inch pots for indoor bloom) and other blooming plants like African violets, cyclamen, begonia and mums.

We're looking forward to offering organic bouquets from Vanderbloom, a local company, with such flowers as delphinium, roses and Bells of Ireland.

We'll also have bunches of Dutch tulips and daffodils - okay, not local, but beautiful.

With spring coming, look for decorative pussywillow branches from Troy McArthur. They are responsibly wildcrafted with permission from the landowners.

Local organic flowers will appear in April or May, many from Community Homestead in Osceola, WI. Community Homestead is a communal living situation for people with developmental disabilities and provides us with bouquets including gladiolus and mixed wildflowers.

Ryan Evans of Shining Hills Farm and Gardens of Viroqua, WI grows certified organic zinneas, giant sunflowers, amaranth, decorative okra and drives them here straight from the farm. Our floral buyer selects our flowers right off the truck. You can expect heirloom varieties of hydranga and other unique flowers.

If you are looking for houseplants, there are wonderful cacti, succulents, hanging plants, peace lily, rubber plant, ficus and diffenbachia from Green Valley Greenhouse in Ramsey, MN.

Finally, we will also carry integrated pest management Silver Vase Orchids from Florida.
