Bespoke flowers just for you
We are a different from many florists…. We don’t have a store and we don’t have pre-made florals. Our design studio is located at our home in Medford where we incorporate locally grown flowers in our vase arrangements and bouquets. This growing season, we are focusing on our subscriptions and events (primarily weddings), so we are limiting our orders to Tues, Wed & Thurs in Sept and Oct and all orders are designers choice. Please give us a couple days notice to gather/harvest the flowers for your order (48 hour or more is great). To see what’s blooming now, check Instagram or bottom of the home page. Florals below represent the price range in size and types of flowers. Feel free to email anne@gardenandroads.com if you have any questions.
We have 2 weddings the weekend of Oct 11, so we have suspended ad hoc orders until Oct. 14th or later.
We will confirm your order via email and email an invoice for payment. Contact us if you have questions or don’t receive a response & invoice within 24 hours.

Bouquets are delivered out of water - wrapped in craft paper or burlap. Unless you are sure the recipient will be available to accept delivery, consider ordering a vase arrangement.
Pick-up - We are not offering pick-up at this time due to a construction project next door.
how to care for your cut flowers:
Keep them out of direct sunlight
Even temperatures (keep away from radiators or the flow of forced hot air heater/or AC)
Keep away from fruit (especially apples, bananas as the give off ethylene, a gas that will shorten bloom time)
Change the water every other day
Give stems a fresh cut before they go back into the vase
Make sure your scissors and vase are clean before starting
Flower food/preservative will also lengthen the bloom time of your cut flowers. As part of our ethos to use methods gentle to the environment, we do not provide little packets of flower food, because who needs the extra packaging when all it contains is carbohydrates (sugar), acidifier and anti-bacterial components and you can easily make your own. Here is a simple recipe:
1 quart warm water (warm water helps the sugar dissolve)
1 tablespoons lemon juice or white vinegar (strained)
1/2 tablespoon sugar
1/4-1/2 teaspoon bleach – less is more with the bleach
