It’s simple, personal, and it feels good knowing our money goes straight to the grower. Plus, there’s always a bit of surprise in what’s available — unique blooms, different varieties, and the joy of supporting local. Just seeing these little stands makes us feel connected to our community. Have you found a hidden gem at an honesty box lately?
