Spring into Summer with Wisconsin Flowers

Agriculture in Wisconsin is diverse, whether growing livestock or raising flowers.  Consumers can get ready for the warm weather by looking to Wisconsin flowers as floriculture is a growing segment of Wisconsin agriculture.

Wisconsin’s history in cut flowers dates back before statehood, when the first green house was built.  Today Wisconsin is a “hot bed” for outdoor, unheated or low heat greenhouse cut flower production.  From winter-time poinsettias, year-round bulb plants like lilies, bouquets of cut flowers, and nursery plants ready for the garden and flower bed – You can purchase locally grown plants, as well as food and services.

There are approximately 450 greenhouses in Wisconsin to source your favorite lily, bedding plant, annual, perennial or bulb flower to plant this summer or add to a bouquet.  As the average household spends $130 annually on floriculture, why not keep that money in Wisconsin to support your local community, producers, and economy!

You can find Wisconsin cut flowers through community supported agriculture (CSA) and/or farmers’ markets, along with requesting Wisconsin-raised flowers through your area florist.
