Why We Grow Our Flowers Without Chemicals (A Love Letter to Safer, Happier Blooms)

When you bring flowers into your home, you probably aren’t thinking about what’s on them. You’re thinking about how they make you feel. That little burst of color on your table, the sweet scent drifting through the room, the way they bring life to your space.

Flowers are supposed to be pure joy. But what if I told you that most store-bought flowers are grown with a whole mix of chemicals? Pesticides, herbicides, and synthetic fertilizers don’t just disappear once the flowers are cut. They linger on the petals, on your hands, and in your home.

That didn’t sit right with us.

That’s why at BlumeJoy, we grow every single flower 100% chemical-free. No pesticides. No herbicides. No synthetic fertilizers. Just naturally grown blooms that are as safe as they are beautiful.

A Personal Choice That Became a Passion

When we first started growing flowers, we didn’t set out to be “chemical-free flower farmers.” We just wanted to grow something beautiful and meaningful. But the more we learned about how flowers are typically grown, the more we realized we had a choice to make.

Do we do what’s easy? Or do we do what’s right?

For us, it wasn’t even a question because of Sawyer.

Our son has been in the garden with us since the very beginning. From carefully (and sometimes not so carefully) planting seeds to running barefoot between the blooms, this little patch of flowers is as much his as it is ours.

And if you’ve ever been around a toddler, you know… everything goes straight into their mouths.

We knew we couldn’t spray anything on our flowers that we wouldn’t want on Sawyer’s hands, his skin, or in the air he breathes. And honestly? That decision wasn’t just for him. It was for all of us. For you, for your family, for anyone who brings BlumeJoy flowers into their home.

Because once you start thinking about it, do you really want chemicals on something you’re displaying in your kitchen, holding in your hands, or putting next to your bed?

Yeah, neither do we.

The Problem with Conventional Flowers

The more we looked into it, the more we realized just how common toxic chemicals are in traditional flower farming.

One of the biggest culprits is glyphosate. It’s the main ingredient in Roundup, and while it’s used to kill weeds, it’s also been linked to some pretty scary health risks like hormone disruption, fertility issues, and even cancer.

And here’s the kicker. These chemicals don’t just stay outside.

They get tracked into homes on shoes and clothing. They settle on countertops, floors, and anywhere little hands and paws like to explore.

So when you bring home a bouquet that was grown with synthetic pesticides and herbicides, those same chemicals could be making their way into the air you breathe and the surfaces you touch.

That’s not something we’re okay with.

How We Grow Flowers Differently

Instead of relying on chemicals, we trust nature’s way of growing flowers, working with the environment, not against it.

• No pesticides or herbicides – We let good bugs like ladybugs and lacewings help keep the bad bugs in check.

• No synthetic fertilizers – We feed our soil with compost and organic nutrients that actually nourish instead of deplete.

• Safe, chemical-free flowers – So you never have to wonder what’s on them

Because at the end of the day, flowers should bring joy, not toxins.
