About Choo Choo Blooms
Choo Choo Blooms is a micro flower farm shaped like a train! The 'engine' (south end) is a work in progress cottage garden, filled with perennials of different varieties and lush sustainability in mind. Peony, Iris, Yarrow, Baptisia, Rudbeckia, Echinacea, Delphinium, herbs and more are surrounded by grass pathways. Warm season annuals are planted to the north of the engine, producing abundant blooms of Zinnia, Celosia, Gomphrena and Dahlias. The growing space is surrounded by a border planting of Miscanthis grass reaching over 7ft tall in its 2nd growing season. We sell flower arrangements direct to consumer through custom orders or by subscription service, as well as to local florists. Dried flowers and handmade wreaths are available when the frost takes the fresh flowers. Thanks for stopping by!
Contact and Ordering
Hey, I'm Syerra. Growing flowers for you and my community is my passion. I learned that I enjoy creating with florals as well! I hold several titles: wife, mom/bonus mom and am Allerton's city clerk working Monday-Thursday at City Hall.
There are many ways to offer or sell cut flowers. I hope that this section gives you a good idea of how we're doing things this year. Feedback is appreciated and questions always welcome!
Calling or messaging my cellphone, or communicating through Facebook Messenger is the best way to reach me. Although, you can send a message down below as well. The growing space is not open to the public currently, but we offer free delivery in Wayne County, IA for all types of orders. Flowers become available for ordering in July and go until October. Availability may be limited due to our subscription program this year. We are sold out of subscriptions this year, but you can check out our Facebook page for "Flower Drops" for arrangements or stems available. Or give me a call with availability questions.
Order options: Bulk, by-the-stem, either in a bucket or wrapped bunches/bouquets. OR flowers and fillers arranged in a formal vase or garden jar. (Garden Jars are recycled mason jars, sauce or other random glass jars.)
Florist pricing is available too. If you are a florist interested in availability and pricing, please reach out with your email and I will send you detailed bunch pricing and what's blooming when.
PRICING
Prices range considerably depending on bloom type, size, vessel/no vessel used and whether a certain color palette is selected.
*if you have donated vases and jars, THANK YOU!
If you simply want to order a small, medium or large arrangement without choosing specific blooms and count, I will use this list as a guide for your order so that there is pricing consistency.
