Buckets of Blooms (DIY Buckets)

Buckets of blooms, endless possibilities.

Freshly Harvested From our Fields for Your Special Event

Enjoy flowers from Wendland Family Farm for your next event! Available mid-July through mid-September.

Bring the beauty of the season to your celebration with our DIY Bulk Flower Buckets — a simple, joy-filled way to fill your event with fresh, locally grown blooms. Perfect for weddings, baby showers, birthdays, parties, or any day that could use a little extra color.

Each Grower’s Choice bucket features the best of what’s blooming that week — about 6–7 different flowers and foliage varieties, thoughtfully harvested to complement one another in texture, shape, and color. You can choose a general color palette to guide us. (Exact colors depend on what’s in bloom—Mother Nature has the final say!)

D.I.Y. bulk flower buckets are an excellent option if:

You are interested in seasonal and sustainably grown flowers
You are flexible about flower type, color, and style
You have the time and talent to design your own event flowers (or better yet, can delegate it to a friend!)

DIY beauty, one bucket at a time.

Harvested by us, arranged by you.

What’s Included:
Each bucket holds approximately 60–70 stems, enough for about 6–7 quart-sized arrangements or 20 small bud vases. Both flowers and foliage are included for $125 per bucket.

Premium blooms like dahlias, lilies, and lisianthus are not part of the DIY buckets, but may be available separately at our self-serve farm stand during pickup.

A Few Friendly Reminders

DIY Bulk Flower Buckets are non-refundable. If your event is canceled, consider sharing the joy—donate your flowers to a care home or neighbor.
Once the flowers leave the farm, they’re yours to care for.
No floral design or consulting is included—these buckets are perfect for anyone who loves to get creative (Pinterest boards welcome!).

Transport Tips

Keep buckets upright and secure on the vehicle floor.
Avoid heat—run the A/C and never leave flowers in a hot car.
Don’t stack items on top of your blooms.
Drive gently—pretend there’s a cake riding in the back seat.

The Dirt (FAQs)

Everything you've been wondering...minus the weeds.

When can I get my flowers?

Pick up from the farm will be scheduled when you order. We recommend you pick your flowers up 1-2 days before your event, so you have enough time to arrange them.

How many buckets do I need?

We put together a comprehensive stem guide to help you determine how many stems of flowers you'll need for your event! Read it HERE to determine how many buckets you'll need.

Can I request certain colors?

We harvest whatever looks best from our fields and greenhouses and provide a colorful bucket of flowers. We can't always accommodate specific color requests depending what is blooming the week of your event. Ordering bulk buckets is probably not a good option for you if you are set on a specific color palette.

Can I request a certain kind of flower?

We provide only flowers that are in season and actively blooming on the farm at the time of your event. We do not import flowers in order to meet specific flower variety requests.

What flowers are in season?

Check out our seasonal availability guide to see what types of flowers are usually in season for your event. Please note that every season is different, depending on the weather.

How many stems come in a bucket?

Approximately 60-70 stems.

How should I care for the flowers?

To ensure flower quality, keep your flowers in a cool and shady environment, out of direct sunlight and away from heat. Do not store them near ripening fruit or vegetables (they emit ethylene gas, which can decrease the life of your flowers). Always ensure the flower stems are in plenty of clean water, and keep them hydrated in vases or buckets of water as much as possible. Strip foliage on the stems that fall below the water line to ensure the longest vase life.

How do I transport my flowers?

If you’re picking up just a couple of buckets, they typically fit comfortably on the floor between the front and back seats of most cars. For more than three buckets, please bring a vehicle with plenty of space in the backseat or cargo area (SUVs/hatchbacks work well). If you’re picking up more than eight buckets, a larger vehicle like an SUV is recommended. Important: Flowers should not be transported in open truck beds or exposed to the elements.
