Market Stand Bouquets
Our stand is a self-service, honor-system flower stand typically open most days starting mid-August and up until the first frost. Operated on a first-come basis. I expect these to sell out quickly. If you are looking for guaranteed weekly flowers check out our Flower Subscription option.
To keep up-to-date on the current openings and offerings please follow me on Facebook or Instagram @dahliasbythebay.
We mainly grow dahlias, but also offer sunflowers, cosmos, zinnias, strawflowers, amaranths and greenery in our mixed bouquets. When we are experiencing a surplus of individual flowers we will offer straight bunches as well.
All offerings consist of our field-grown flowers that are picked at their peak of freshness. Prices range from $15 – $35 depending on product availability. Cashbox is on the cart.
Care instructions are both on the stand and attached to each bouquet for your convenience.
Any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Bouquet Care Instructions
Following these instructions will help you get the most out of your flowers. Dahlias should last 4-6 days in the vase depending on the variety.
- When you get your flowers home get them into fresh clean water and set in a cool room for an hour or two to rest.
- Re-trim stems on a 45-degree angle and set in a clean vase. Add water with a small amount of bleach to help prevent bacteria from growing in the vase and extend the life of your flowers (1/4 teaspoon bleach per liter of vase water).
- Replace the water every couple of days, retrimming stems each time.
- Keep your flowers as cool as possible. (It helps to move them to a cool room in the evening and bring them back to your display room during the day.)
- Enjoy your flowers!
