Flower Club

The Flower Club is my version of the C.S.A. model (community supported agriculture) where you pay at the beginning of the season and then receive a set number of bouquets throughout the summer. 

The Flower Club is our new way to provide my Flower People of Westlock and Athabasca areas with our locally grown cut flowers. In past years, we’d harvest & craft bouquets every week and drive them to Westlock and Athabasca to sell from our pink van – sometimes we’d make too many bouquets, and other times we’d run out before the day was over!

Signing up for the Flower Club helps us to ensure everyone who wants flowers gets them and it allows us to use our time more efficiently on the farm. It supports our farm in a big way and I do have some special perks planned for everyone who joins the Flower Club (but those are surprises for later!)

No.

If you’d like to treat yourself to our flowers on a regular schedule this summer, the Flower Club is your best option!

My plans for bringing the van into town are as follows:

• Athabasca : 1 Saturday Farmers Market each month
• Westlock: when I have extra flowers beyond what the Flower Club utilizes, I will come to town and park with Cool Beans Coffee Truck (just like the good ol’ days!) on Tuesdays 
• Van dates will be announced on Instagram/Facebook and through the newsletter as they come along

You can expect some highly coveted and well sought-after flowers throughout the season – flowers you definitely won’t find at your supermarket. 

You’ll get some pretty note-worthy flowers in the Flower Club: the highlights are giant double flowering & frilly tulips, decadent ranunculus, whimsical foxglove, mind blowing lisianthus. I grow a couple hundred varieties of other flowers & that’s way too many to list here! I promise you’re likely to find a few new favourite flowers you didn’t know about when you’re in the Flower Club.

Flower Club bouquets feature the best of what is currently blooming on our flower farm each week, and are minimally wrapped in kraft paper. (Because we just want you to get the best flowers without a bunch of unnecessary packaging!) Bring your own jar/bucket when picking up. 

Full Season Flower Club: $438 (+ GST) for 12 bouquets (works out to $36.50/bouquet which is equivalent to paying for 11 bouquets, and getting the 12th at no cost)

Monthly Flower Club: $200 (+ GST) for 5 bouquets (works out to $40.00/bouquet)

All Flower Club memberships are paid as a lump sum prior to the beginning of the flower season. No refunds will be given, except in the event that I am unable to provide you with the number of bouquets you purchased through the Flower Club.

All Flower Club bouquets will have a *minimum value* of $40. 

Because you are choosing to be part of the Common Cheer Flower Club, there’s a good chance I will occasionally “beef up” the bouquets when I’m swimming in an abundance of flowers – as my way to express my gratitude for your support through the season. No one’s gonna say “NO” to more flowers, right? Consider it a perk of being in the Flower Club 😉

The visual size of the bouquets will vary because some flowers have a higher value than others. Rest assured, every Flower Club bouquet will have a *minimum* value of $40, even when they might look bigger or smaller some weeks. 

No – all bouquets will be “farmer’s choice” to ensure you get the very best of what’s blooming on the farm.

Your bouquets will be available for pick-up at our partner locations in Westlock and Athabasca. 

I will drop off Flower Club bouquets on Tuesdays and you can pick them up at your convenience. (Please pick them up as soon as you can to ensure you get the maximum quality and enjoyment out of them.) 

• Athabasca partner: Ella & Birch Collective (4916A, 50th Street); open 11AM-5PM 
  
• Drop-off will be on Tuesdays, and you will have until Wednesday at 5PM to pick up

   

• Westlock partner: Westlock Home Hardware ; open 8:30AM-5:30PM
• Drop-off will be on Tuesdays, and you will have until Wednesday at 5:30PM to pick up
  
  

Flowers that remain unclaimed by Wednesday evening will be inherited by our partner locations, who will further determine their fate!

If you are unable to pick up that week, I highly recommend spreading your Flower Club cheer, and sending a friend or family member to pick up the flowers and enjoy them that week.

When you purchase a Flower Club season, you can let me know if there are any weeks you’d prefer *not* to have flowers. If you know you will be away during certain weeks, this is where you can let me know. I will collect that information and *try* to make a flower schedule that works for both of us. I will share your flower schedule with you when we begin the Flower Club.  

I will confirm your pick-up weeks through e-mail once the season begins. (And I might even send you little love notes and reminders with your bouquets to let you know when your next pick up date is.)

As you know, we are working alongside Mother Nature, and there could be occasions where I have to reschedule a Flower Club drop-off due to weather damage or unforeseen events. If that happens, I will be sure you keep you informed. 

I do know that Week 1 will be the end of May or beginning of June.

Generally, no.

From a logistical standpoint, that becomes very complex for me. Once the season has started and the schedule has been confirmed, it will be more difficult for me to make last minute changes. Please reach out to me (Kayla) if something comes up, and I’ll try my best to swap something around, but I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to accommodate all requests. Worst case scenario is that you get to share your Flower Club with a friend, co-worker, or family member that week!
