Lucky You! 

You've just received a freshly made burlap-wrapped™ arrangement from Farmgirl Flowers! We had made this babe in San Francisco and boxed it up safely to travel all the way to you. Below are some of our top tips to keep these beauties looking lovely for days to come. 

(UN)DRESS IT UP! There's a lot of heart that went into the burlap wrap, but it's time for that pretty, upcycled wrapping (as well as the rest of our packaging) needs to come off. What to do with the leftover burlap? It is 100% compostable (hint, hint) and if you are one of our super creative customers, upcycle it again! 

FRESH CUT Start your bouquet off on the right foot in its new home with a quick trim. Find a pair of sharp scissors, kitchen shears or even a sharp kitchen knife and trim at least 1/2" off each stem. Pro Tip: Aim for a 45° angle! The angle provides more surface area for the flower to drink from and prevents the stems from sitting flush to the bottom of the vase where bacteria builds up. 

H2-OH! Your flowers traveled a long way to get to you - they're in need of a tall drink of water! Fill a vase with cool tap water and get your bouquets hydrating post-trim. Pro Tip: Change the water daily (or as often as you can possibly remember). Changing the water helps reduce the growth of bacteria which grows naturally on the flower stems, especially as they age. Higher levels of bacteria means the flowers will die faster. Bonus Points: Remove individual flowers as they expire. This helps with bacteria build up and will keep your bouquet fresh longer! 

KEEP IT COOL Help your flowers live their best life and keep them out of direct sunlight and extreme heat. Sunny windowsills are off limits!

SHAKE IT OUT! Farmgirl loves a good photo opp! Get your bouquet ready for its close-up by giving is a zhush! Pro Tip: Gently grasp the stems on each side of the bouquet, thumbs on the front and fingers on the back. Firmly but gently rotate each thumb away from you. This will help to loosen your bouquet after being compressed in transit. And don't forget to share the love! @farmgirlflowers #farmgirlflowers #fglove
