Thank you for your interest in buying from the Tidewater Flower Co-op! We are a group of local flower growers in the Hampton Roads area who are excited to provide an easier way for floral designers to access locally grown flowers. In order to best serve your needs, we appreciate you filling out this brief survey so that we can get to know you and plan accordingly. After you submit the survey, we will contact you about next steps. If you have any questions in the meantime please reach out to
tidewaterflowercoop@gmail.comSome things to note about buying flowers through the co-op:
-You must have an account through Rooted Farmers (
www.rootedfarmers.com). Signing up is free for floral designers. Growers will be posting flowers to the site by the bunch, complete with pictures, and you will be able to shop online Friday-Sunday each week. If you would like more information about how Rooted Farmers works we would encourage you to watch this instructional video:

-We are aiming for a soft opening on April 13, with an official opening sometime in May. We plan to have regular inventory through the end of October, and dried flower and seasonal offerings at the end of the year.
-We may not be able to accommodate all interested buyers at the launch of the co-op, but we hope to add more buyers as our inventory increases over the growing season.
