Farmers grow local flowers in an environmentally responsible way to promote biodiversity, soil health, and water quality. They are dedicated to implementing sustainable agricultural practices to protect the environment.<\/p>\n

On the one hand, flowers are beneficial to a wide range of insects, including native pollinators, which are plentiful in our fields. They are crucial, as they pollinate the flowers of many fruits and vegetables, thereby boosting production. By doing so, they directly contribute to Quebec\u2019s food sovereignty!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

On the other hand, imported flowers are often grown using pesticides that are unauthorized in Canada, as they originate from countries where environmental regulations differ. Quebec promotes integrated pest management, a method that prioritizes pesticide prevention and the use of alternatives such as predatory insects or anti-insect netting. Consequently, locally grown flowers are more advantageous for the overall health of the population and the planet.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Additionally, locally grown flowers travel a significantly shorter distance to the customer, reducing the carbon footprint associated with transportation. They are packaged minimally with recyclable or compostable materials, unlike imported flowers that are often packaged in single-use plastic packaging, considerably reducing packaging waste.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Opting for local flowers not only helps sustain local farm families but also contributes to the vitality of Quebec\u2019s economy. Flower farms create employment opportunities and foster economic growth throughout the entire province.

Local flowers are grown just a few kilometres away from where they\u2019re sold, which ensures their freshness and quality. As a result, some locally grown varieties last longer. Farmers take pride in their work and strive to provide customers with the most beautiful flowers. We aim to make locally grown flowers a symbol of excellence!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Since growers are located near their customers, they have the advantage of producing flowers that are more sensitive to transportation. Consequently, local\u00a0flower varieties\u00a0differ\u00a0from imported ones and are truly one-of-a-kind.<\/p>\n

Our flowers are also unique in that they are produced by growers who are actively involved in the growth of their regional communities. Go out and meet Quebec’s cut flower farmers and get to know the faces behind these local treasures!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Quebec produces hundreds of cut\u00a0flower varieties, each with its\u00a0distinct colour, shape, and scent. What sets Quebec flowers apart from imported ones is their ability to evoke deeply rooted memories in our minds. In the past, it was common for people to grow flowers in their vegetable gardens. For this reason, certain flowers remind us of our grandmothers\u2019 gardens, creating a nostalgic connection to our past. These flowers are\u00a0infused\u00a0with meaning and emotion. They\u00a0have a\u00a0history,\u00a0and you are part of it!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
