Did you know that almost 85% of flowers come from other countries?

The local flower therefore has significant added value compared to imported flowers: that of sustainability, in every sense of the word.

More and more local flower farms are emerging in Quebec, finally! In 2021, MAPAQ listed nearly 100 flower farms in Quebec. A real boom for floriculture. Wow! The consumer can now support and obtain supplies directly from farm florists, almost everywhere in Quebec. The network grew and the profession of flower grower took off.

You may think of food first, but flowers are just as essential to the buy local movement. After all, flowers nourish the soul and intellectual health. The mission of Pivoinerie Lili, after all, is to sow happiness!

What are the advantages of buying your peonies from our flower farm in Quebec?

The flowers grown at the Pivoinerie Lili…

• Last longer . Our flowers are selected directly on the farm at the most suitable time to last as long as possible in your home.
• Require less energy . Most cut flowers in Canada are imported from Europe, South America, Thailand and parts of Africa? Shipping flowers such long distances generates thousands of tons of carbon dioxide and consumes enormous amounts of energy.
• Our flowers are picked directly from the farm here in Quebec to your home.
• Are durable and eco-responsible for the environment . We respect our land — the planet like earth on which our peonies and flowers took root. We collect rainwater to water our plants. We sowed our peony plants on geotextile, which provides better weed control. We also use rameal wood on our plots to control weeds more effectively without herbicides and pesticides throughout the season.
• Have a better scent . Our flowers emerge in their most natural state, unlike large growers who modify their flowers to have thicker stems and less fragrance.
• Are different and unique. Several varieties of flowers selected by flower farms in Quebec are unique from what you can usually find in florists' fridges. Certain varieties of flowers do not tolerate planes and transport well and are therefore not available internationally, notably zinnias and dahlias. By purchasing flowers from flower farms, you will certainly make incredible discoveries, each one more beautiful and unique than the last.
• Are cultivated with passion and love . At Pivoinerie Lili, we take the time to care for the flowers and our soil. We have been pampering our plants and flowers all seasons for years now!
