The Stevens grown product this week is our greenhouse grown white Anemone with the most beautiful blue/purple center. These are quite possibly my very favorite and they are being cut fresh daily. Order yourself a bunch or two :)

Rose of the week...Quicksand

The rose this week is Quicksand. A small headed rose with an antique pink/peach color that varies within the rose and also from rose to rose.  Very classic rose shape with a bit of a fragrance. If you have done arrangements with this rose we would love to see them.

Stevens 4 foot Robina Lily!

How fantastic is this lily?!? Grown right here in our greenhouse this is a Robina Oriental Lily. Robina is a dark pink color and I am 5'3" to give you an idea of the size. Just another great reason to buy locally grown products from Stevens and Son.

Green Progress

Here is a small update on the progress we are making in our "Green" efforts. We were able to find a company to recycle our plastic straps and plastic sleeves. We just separate them into these large containers and off to recycling they go. We recycled 6 containers full of straps and sleeves in just over a months time!

Fun fact: The Plastic Straps are highly recyclable and will be remade into items such as carpet, sports clothing and nylon netting.
