Questions

Do you ever buy a bouquet, put in the flower food, and after 2 days have to start picking out droopy blooms?

Those flowers are imported and spend most of their lives in a box. Poor things.

Local flowers are harvested and immediately put in water. Their stems never get dried and clogged, and they are in your hands the day after they are harvested.

With the provided flower food (which does work on these fresh flowers!), your local flowers will last 5-7 days for the shortest vase life, and many can last 2 weeks!

Bouquet Bundles are the Sidelot Gardens equivalent of a Flower CSA (community supported agriculture), or flower subscription.
Your up front purchase guarantees you receive weekly flowers! Your subscription guarantees you bouquets for the season. If we have a rush on products or sell out at a market, you will still get your bouquet because we planned for it. No crashing your local farmer’s market booth required.

Your subscription also helps support the ongoing work at the farm—hoses, seeds, gas for the Farm Van, etc.

Pick up: You will choose your pick up day and location (Blue Ash or Hyde Park). On your chosen day, head to your location and grab a bouquet at any time listed as open! Mark your name off the provided list and head home. Drop your gorgeous blooms in some water with their included flower food and enjoy all week!

Pick up in Blue Ash is Wednesday (9am to 7 pm) and Saturday (9 am to 11 am)

Pick up in Hyde Park is Wednesday (7 am to 8 pm) and Saturday (7 am to 8 pm)

If anything changes, we will let you know via the email you provide!

Delivery: You will choose your delivery day (Tuesday or Friday, subject to change). This option will only be available if your location is in one of the available zip codes. Laura will confirm your delivery the day of, and you’ll place a bucket or vase with water in it outside your house (or at a front desk for an office). Laura will drop off your bouquet in your bucket or Vase!

Delivery is only available for the following Zip Codes: 45208, 45209, 45227, 45243, 45236, 45242, and 45215.

As we grow, we hope to be able to provide additional pick up locations. Stay tuned!

Members Only is another way to purchase flowers from Sidelot Gardens without committing to a regular bouquet.

Each share is like a gift card that you redeem at the weekly Members Only Market.

Great for people who do their own florals at churches or small events; or people who just really like to choose their own (bouquet) adventure.

Attendance is not required, come to the market on weeks you want to.

Attendees can spend up to 1 share ($100). Shares can be used across an entire season. Shares can be purchased all season. Unused shares do not roll over to next season.

Members Only Markets are planned for Wednesday afternoons.

Sidelot Gardens will be participating in O.F.F Market this year. Located in Summit Park in Blue Ash, this monthly all-day event is lots of fun with tons of vendors from around town!

Drop by our booth on the following Saturdays:

Any vegetables available this year will be made available to CrossFit Cincinnati members and for Members Only Shareholders!

There is no guarantee for successful plantings nor harvest.

Sidelot Gardens is not affiliated with CrossFit. However, Laura is a long-time CrossFitter and is so thankful for the kind support of Cincinnati Health Collective and CrossFit Cincinnati. Without them, the dream would not be a reality!

Sure do! Hazel Marie is happy to come run around the farm. She might not scare off squirrels, but she will come say hi to any passers by.
