We teach our flo­ral design stu­dents that their local farm­ers mar­ket is a great source for fresh flow­ers. Right now, local­ly grown flow­ers are abun­dant, afford­able and beau­ti­ful! If you buy near the close of the mar­ket, you might score some deals, too.

The Los Ange­les Times news­pa­per recent­ly start­ed a new inter­ac­tive project that shows its read­ers where all the farm­ers mar­kets are in the LA area. You can search for mar­kets by day of the week, zip code, city or by mar­ket name and then…add to the data­base by shar­ing your favorite ven­dor’s name, what you like to buy there and what the best deals are at the market.
