16 bouquets. Daily matchups. One winner.
March Madness is not just for basketball.
This year, we are bringing that same energy to something we love: locally grown flowers.
We have selected 16 of our favorite bouquets created by Local Blooms growers last season and placed them into a bracket. Over the next two weeks, our community will help decide which arrangement comes out on top.
Along the way, you will discover just how beautiful, diverse, and creative local flowers can be.
What Is Bouquet Madness?
Bouquet Madness is a bracket-style competition featuring real bouquets grown and designed by Local Blooms growers.
Each arrangement reflects the beauty of seasonal flowers, the creativity of local growers, and the uniqueness that comes from flowers grown close to home.
These are not imported flowers traveling thousands of miles. They are flowers grown with care, harvested at peak freshness, and designed by small growers in communities across the country.

Why We’re Doing This
Most flowers purchased in the United States are imported.
They travel long distances, are often treated with chemicals, and are selected for durability rather than beauty, scent, or uniqueness.
Local flowers are different.
They are fresher, more seasonal, often more unique, and grown with care by people in your community.
Bouquet Madness is a simple and fun way to highlight the work of local growers, celebrate the diversity of locally grown flowers, and help more people discover a different way to buy and send flowers.

A Kinder Way To Buy And Send Flowers
At Local Blooms, we believe flowers can be more than a transaction.
They can support small growers, strengthen local economies, and bring more beauty and connection into everyday life.
Bouquet Madness is one small way to celebrate that.
