Carly Reed of In Bloom Flower Farm near Georgetown gathers a bucket full of cuttings. Flowers purchased for weddings make up most of the farm’s sales. “May is when we do most of our business, which is the same month as Mother’s Day,” she said.
With farm conditions suited for high-quality commercial production, Kentucky is home to more than 125 commercial cut flower operations, a 20 percent increase in just the last year, with a market value of almost $700,000 annually.
