Yes! It's a great way to teach Blooming Artists the elements and principals of design, while having fun with family, friends or co-workers. Please stay tuned for dates of future on-location events.

Pick-up from the The Flower & Vine Gift Shop is always free and standard delivery within Thurston County, Dupont and JBLM is $19.95. 

As an advocate for the Slow Flower Movement, stems are sourced from local farmers and/or American-grown, as much as possible. By keeping in-season, arrangements complement the scenery, are always fresh, leave a minimal footprint, and are composted after retrieval - or in some cases, redesigned with new flowers and given as "Circle of Kindness" gifts to those less fortunate.

All Frequent Flower services are backed by a bloom-replacement clause, which means that our flowers are intended to last at least one week - because of how they are procured and prepared - or else they will be replaced, at no cost.

For members of the Frequent Flower Program, when your next arrangement is delivered, a new vase/vessel is provided, while expired pieces are picked up and composted, disinfected and reused. This cuts cost (and keeps your vase inventory in-home to a minimum). However, if you LOVE the vase your arrangement came in and don't want to part with it, email us and we'll include a small purchase charge on your next invoice.

Each week, pieces have a specific focus or color palate, based on the month's theme. For example, January is "Zenuary" and features Ikebana-style pieces (the 600-year-old Japanese art of floral design). February is all above looooove, May is "Bach Flower Remedy Month," and July is particularly special because - if you love lavender - you're in luck! My family has a boutique farm in Olympia (Evergreen Valley Lavender Farm), so weekly arrangements will showcase this very special, colorful, and healing plant.

"We" is mostly me - Genevieve Ruth, the owner. I procure and design all of the floral, write the articles, newsletters and social material, network with local business, and deliver the majority of our pieces. When I'm not canvassing the county in the Flora-Mobile, you can find me designing away in my flower and gift shop, located at the Evergreen Valley Lavender Farm in Olympia! I also partner with Joseph Varley of "Flowers by Joseph" who is my mentor, as well as a dedicated Flower Crew who help with holiday deliveries and large scale events.
