3 Reasons Why Shopping at Local Flower + Art Shops Matters.
JANUARY 26, 2026
Valentine’s Day is one of the biggest times of the year for the flower industry. At Kinspoke Flowers + Art we make it a priority to give you ways to not only add beauty to your life, but deliver you a product that is craft made with expertise and mindful making.
It is hard to go anywhere without seeing fresh flowers, mass produced AI art, and cheaply made goods. When you support a local florist and artist you are supporting your neighbors and securing something unique and special.
Here they are….
Artistry + Quality:
“Ive never seen flowers like this and they lasted so long!”
We hear this a lot.
When you support a local florist over a grocery store you are getting the freshest and healthiest flowers. Grocery store flowers often older by the time you get them. Local florists also have the ability to choose more interesting flowers. They have the ability to place and source flowers from local farmers, interesting places, and find things you may not even know exist.
At Kinspoke Flowers + Art our florists are trained floral artists incorporating seasonal blooms, artistic design, and contemporary floral techniques to make original and beautiful work ready for pick up or local delivery.
2. Local Delivery + Customization
Want to surprise someone at home or work? When you choose a local florist or artist you have the ability to add extra romance and magic to not just Valentine’s Day but to any day of the year! When you contact us a real human will be able to help you choose flowers, art, and other handmade goods with your love in mind. At Kinspoke we will also share with you new and interesting flowers and art you will be grateful to discover.
3. Supporting your Neighbors
Did you know not all floral websites are real florists? Many of them are giant corporation middle men who just forward it to local shops.
You Pay $100
20-30% goes to the corporation first
The florist gets $50 - $65
Same expectations, smaller budget.
Order direct and support local florists. For real, you will get a way better floral arrangement because the florist has more money and room to work with.
Local shops are the heartbeat of communities. When you shop at Kinspoke Flowers and Art you are supporting 25+ artist, makers, and small businesses from Southwest Florida and beyond. A bunch of dreamers who want to make their community more beautiful and joyful.
