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. The warmth of summer brings with it the most abundant time of year for locally grown flowers, and from late June through early September, florists have plenty of crops available to elevate their designs.
