Floret Flowers Blog: Lovely Community
The Floret Flower Farm has been heralded as one of the nation’s top “farmer florists,” and their story is as romantic as their arrangements. They supply flowers to specialty shops in the Pacific Northwest, and create bouquets and arrangements themselves. They also operate workshops that attract farmer florists from all over the nation.

Erin Benzakein is the Founder of, and blogger for, Floret. In addition to farming and floral arranging, she is an amateur photographer, so the blog is full of dreamy pictures of their arrangements and farm. Some of the recurring themes on the Floret blog are:
- The Seasonal Flower Alliance – A weekly project to assemble a bouquet of seasonal flowers. Everyone is invited to play. Designers can post a link to their pictures in the comments each week, and/or use the hashtag #SeasonalFlowerAlliance on Instagram.
- Interviews – With a confessed passion for, and bias toward, other farmer florists. Lots of Q&A, and lots of inspiration.
- This Moment – These are posted weekly (for the most part). One picture from the previous week, without comment or explanation. A fun, sometimes mysterious, little insight into life on the farm.
The Floret blog usually updates once or twice each week, and whether its a huge interview or a single, non-captioned picture, the reader is never disappointed.
