Testimonials
We are so grateful for our amazing flower recipients! Thank you for helping us support local immigrant BIPOC farmers and organizers!
“Wednesday pickup quickly became one of the highlights of my week. The flowers were always beautiful. Fantastic color combinations and flowers I’ve never seen in local flower shops. Thank you Queens Perennial for a lovely 2022 flower season!”
“This flower CSA is such a bright spot—the QP team is so friendly and fun, and will go above and beyond to make sure you remember your pickup.”
“It’s been such an amazing add to weekly routine seeing familiar faces connecting with the community, chatting and of course surprise flowers.”
“I first signed up for Queens Perennial in the midst of the pandemic, when I thought weekly flowers was one way to brighten what had and continued to be depressing months. I’ve continued it each year because I grew to love what this program gave me.”
“it’s so fun to learn about the local, seasonal picks in the weekly emails. So many flower fun facts!”
“Not only do I get a wide array of beautiful flowers that brighten up my apartment and give me a reason to get way too many bud vases, but I also get to go for a nice walk to and from a convenient spot in my neighborhood (and do some shopping there while I’m at it) to visit the loveliest flower purveyors who greet me weekly like old friends and then skip home with my bouquet while waving at neighbors and garnering the attention of passersby like I’m in some romcom.”
“As I walked to flower pickup each week, seeing others around my neighborhood with their bouquets filled me with joy. It’s like we were all part of a cool secret flower club. But it’s not really a secret!”
“How many things in your week are just purely joyful? I look forward to Queens Perennial pick-ups every week.”
“I’ve been a member of Queens Perennial since the day they started and will be for life! Not only are the seasonal flowers BEAUTIFUL but supporting local women, farmers, and our amazing Astoria community makes the CSA that much better.”
“Queens Perennial was such an incredible way to have fresh flowers at home while also supporting a small local farm.”
“Do yourself a favor and shop small for your flowers this year - you won’t regret it!”
“Helen and Jenn of Queens Perennial are equally delightful, I’m always impressed with how they remember every human and dog, an extremely personal touch! This is the CSA for Flowers lovers!!”
“I have always been a cranky old broad who didn’t like surprises, but I stopped being that woman when I joined Queens Perennial and treated myself to a mystery bouquet every week.”
“As someone with a taupe/olive thumb, it’s refreshing to have beautiful color in the house for the season!”
“Queens Perennial is truly one of the highlights of my week. Every week I was surprised by a beautiful bouquet and discovered a lot of new flowers I love.”
“As the days got shorter and darker, my weekly bouquet provided a beacon of sunshine inside my home.”
“My 3yr old really looked forward and would even wear his flower mask on pick up days :) It’s always a fun surprise to see what flowers we would be getting. We still have some of the dried ones from last season around our place. Eagerly waiting for the next season!”
“I first joined during the pandemic and Queens Perennial has now seen us through the first 2 years of our daughter’s life. I love the opportunity to take time each week to connect with people through flowers”
“Queens Perennial is one of my all-time favorite self-care activities. I look forward to Helen’s weekly emails with intriguing facts about the week’s bouquet. It is an absolute joy to meet the smiles of a QP staff member”
“Especially after 2+ years of feeling isolated and locked away, my weekly flower pickup helped me feel connected to a family-run farm, to New York City, and to my neighborhood.”
“My experience with Queens Perennial was such that I am counting down days until the next subscription season opens, and whenever anything involving flowers comes up, you’re the first people I think of.”
“It was such a delight to have fresh flowers each week, and we loved the surprise element - what would we get each week?!”
