The Best Flowers in the Okanagan

The Okanagan is home to so many talented flower farmers and florists. From farm-stand arrangements to full wedding design, we’ve curated a list of the best growers, florists and spots to procure their bouquets in the Okanagan. 

Flower Farmers and Florists

Puzzlebuds

Erin and Madison started Puzzlegrass Farms in Naramata in 2020. Alongside veggies, E & M grow and sell spray-free flowers under their sub-brand Puzzlebuds. They recently opened a flower stand in Naramata, and also offer customizable weekly or bi-weekly flower subscriptions, bloom buckets, and full wedding and event floral arrangements.

Puzzlebud flowers are grown sustainably and in addition to being beautiful, their arrangements are funky, playful, and artistic.

Flower Stand: 3815 N Naramata Rd, Naramata, BC

Lisa Flowers

Lisa has been growing flowers on Lower Bench Road in Penticton for many years. She offers fresh-cut flower bouquets featuring wildflowers, dahlias, peonies, and other blooms grown right in her garden. If you need flowers, make a quick stop at her flower stand, where you'll find fresh bouquets available daily. It operates on an honour system, so remember to bring cash, as bouquets typically range from $10 to $40.

If you're seeking a unique bouquet or a custom colour arrangement not available at her stand, you can place an order by phone or find her at the Penticton Farmer's Market on Saturdays. Lisa also specializes in wedding and event florals.

Honest Blooms are grown sustainably on Honest Food’s family farm in Keremeos, BC. Fresh hand-tied bouquets and special occasion arrangements are available at their Farm Store while in season. You can also find their flowers on Saturdays at the Penticton Farmer’s Market, or order (for pick up or delivery) a naturally grown seasonal bouquet on their website.

Honest Bloom’s bouquets are romantic, textured, and fit perfectly into the Okanagan landscape. 

The Farm Store is open Wednesday from 11 am to 3 pm, and Friday through Sunday from 10 am to 3:30 pm.
