Sweetbay Flower Farm Offer
from Amy Miller: Katie Colini Cenkus, daughter of Karen Colini, is a talented flower farmer operating a thriving business with her sisters on the Colini home property outside of Chagrin Falls. Katie is offering flower subscriptions for the first time in 2023! I wanted to make everyone at SLGC aware of this if you wanted to support the wonderful Colini family and enjoy fresh flowers at the same time!
Last week we announced our first-ever year of Flower Subscriptions – an opportunity to receive SIX Monthly Bouquets of our BEST flowers in 2023. You will receive SIX bouquets for each subscription. You can also sign up for bi-weekly or weekly bouquets- you’ll simply add multiple subscriptions to your cart.
