Kowalski's Gets Fresh

Before you buy your tulips, carnations or roses elsewhere, consider these important points of distinction regarding our in-store Floral Department:

• Many of the plants and flowers sold at Kowalski's are locally grown.
   
• Fresh cuts coming from California arrive in less than 48 hours. Two teams drive each refrigerated delivery truck to eliminate the need for stops.
   
• Kowalski's exclusive premier rose bouquets endure extensive shelf life testing and arrive in stores just four days after harvest, ensuring that these precious stems last longer than flowers at any other grocer (up to 10 days).
   
• In South America where our roses are grown, the Colombian Association of Flower Exporters is especially dedicated to helping flower growers improve the social and economic lives of their workers as well as the environmental conditions at their farms. In addition to a fair living wage, workers may benefit from such free amenities as health care, child care, transportation and meals. In addition to ethical business practices, these farms also employ sustainable growing practices such as hydroponics, recycling green material into compost, and rainwater collection/reuse programs.
