Hi, I’m Charlotte
I am so happy you are here! Launching Calvert Design was inspired by the years of watching my mother run her small floral business out of our family home. I loved seeing the beauty and joy she created through thoughtful floral arrangements. Throughout my business career I dreamt of following in my mother’s footsteps. I’m now truly excited to finally launch Calvert Design, my own floral company!
The quality of the flowers is the heart and soul of any arrangement. As such, I have worked to establish a network of high quality local wholesalers as well as a network of Certified American Grown Flower Farms to bring the best the industry has to offer. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about Calvert Design. I look forward to bringing delightful arrangements to all of my customers!
Certified American Grown
Calvert Design is an Associate Member of Certified American Grown Farms Association. Certified American Grown (CAG) is a non-profit organization started in 2021 that was originally launched in 2015 as a marketing brand. Now as an independent national trade association, it represents a unified and diverse community of American cut flower, cut foliage and potted plant farmers from the United States.
Consumers spend almost $27 billion per year on floral products, and while the majority of consumers would prefer to buy locally grown flowers and foliage, only a small percentage sold in the United States are grown here. We hope to change that by further educating consumers and policy makers on the importance of supporting home grown industry. I hope together we can keep these American farms’ fields blooming!!!
Did you know the sale of American grown flowers is on the decline?
Over the years, flowers and foliage have slowly shifted from being locally grown to being primarily imported from foreign countries. In fact, only 22 % of the flowers and foliage sold in the United States is grown here.
Shop Certified American Grown flowers to support local businesses!
With a daily economic impact of almost $42 million, and supporting hundreds of farmers, thousands of small businesses, and tens of thousands of jobs in the United States, the cut flower and foliage sector is an important part of U.S. agriculture. Imagine the positive impact if more flowers and foliage sold were homegrown.
