"Flower for a Kid" at the Lexington Farmers Market!

Stow Greenhouses is offering a Flower for a Kid this Tuesday, August 20, at the Lexington Farmers' Market! Stop by to say hello and pick up yours this week!

http://stowgreenhouses.com/ is based in Stow, MA. They specialize in beautiful, long lasting hybrid lilies. 

Did you know?
Local flowers are fresher which means more fragrant flowers and a longer vase life.

Seventy-five percent of supermarket flowers are grown in South America. They’re cut as many as 7 days before they reach the store and they are often preserved with harsh chemicals. Local flowers reach you within 24 hours and use no preservatives.

Local flowers require less packaging. When shipped from S. America, there is a lot of packaging that is discarded before the flowers are re-packaged for sale.

Buying local supports the local economy and local farmers. Prices are competitive if not less.

You can get to know the person who grew your flowers and ask us about our sustainable growing practices.

Make plans to stop by the Lexington Farmers' Market this Tuesday, Aug. 20, between 2-6:30 pm, Rain or Shine!
