After years of working with florists, we know that there are many tried-and-true flowers that designers love to include in their everyday work. A few months ago we shared our go-to list of locally grown spring flowers as well as our favorite locally grown summer flowers. Fall is the time when we have some of the most beautiful and unique locally grown flowers that will add a lot to any design.
