Thank you for a great 2024 - We will be closed Dec 21 - Feb 2, 2025
Bespoke flowers just for you
We are a different from most florists…. We don’t have a store and we don’t have pre-made florals. We use fresh, and whenever possible, locally grown flowers for each order! We’ll confirm your order via email and send an invoice to pay securely on-line. Our design studio & pick-up location is at our home in Medford. Photos below are examples to illustrate size per price point. We can sometimes accommodate day-of orders, but advance orders are appreciated.
If you need a last minute gift, you can still order a Garden and Roads Gift Certificate to be redeemed in 2025!
Any Occasion Flowers
Our any occasion florals vary seasonally and every order is unique. During the growing season, we include flowers from our gardens and other local growers. Examples show prices for the size of arrangement, click Order Flowers button below to place your order, if you have colors or flowers you’d like included, just let us know on your order form. To see what’s blooming now, check Instagram or scroll to the bottom of the home page

Bouquets are delivered out of water - wrapped in craft paper or burlap. Unless you are sure the recipient will be available to accept delivery, consider ordering a vase arrangement.
Pick-up - Location is our primary garden and floral design studio (and our home) 76 Greenleaf Ave Medford. Please include approximate pick-up time in your flower order. Flowers are picked up from the potting bench or pick-up cabinet on our porch.
how to care for your cut flowers:
Keep them out of direct sunlight
Even temperatures (keep away from radiators or the flow of forced hot air heater/or AC)
Keep away from fruit (especially apples, bananas as the give off ethylene, a gas that will shorten bloom time)
Change the water every other day
Give stems a fresh cut before they go back into the vase
Make sure your scissors and vase are clean before starting
Flower food/preservative will also lengthen the bloom time of your cut flowers. As part of our ethos to use methods gentle to the environment, we do not provide little packets of flower food, because who needs the extra packaging when all it contains is carbohydrates (sugar), acidifier and anti-bacterial components and you can easily make your own. Here is a simple recipe:
1 quart warm water (warm water helps the sugar dissolve)
1 tablespoons lemon juice or white vinegar (strained)
1/2 tablespoon sugar
1/4-1/2 teaspoon bleach – less is more with the bleach
Flower Subscription / CSA Bouquets
Garden and Roads will work with your budget and schedule for pick-up or delivery of a bouquet or vase arrangement of flowers. May - October, we offer locally grown CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) Bouquets with flowers from our gardens. Go to our Subscriptions page for details.
