It's Thanksgiving week, the season to be grateful. In just a few short days we will turn our attention and our thoughts to Christmas, and I am so excited (it's my favorite holiday and time of year!). But for now, let's stick with the thankful theme for just a bit longer. Here at Blooms, we are thankful for a great community, good neighbors, warm friends, friendly strangers and nature's beauty and wildlife. We have been blessed with all of that in our small town. We have been a part of Tehachapi...
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we are all busy making plans with family, checking school schedules and looking forward to a bit of time off of work. Here in the Blooms flower studio, we are planning some gorgeous Thanksgiving centerpieces, and it has caused me to stop and wander down memory lane just a bit. Thanksgiving for me evokes fond memories of family. We would gather at grandpa and grandma's house and by lunchtime, it would be bursting at the seams with uncles, aunts, cousins...

Hello, neighbors! I want to take this opportunity to reintroduce our small business. I am Laura, the owner and designer at Blooms, and we have been in business for about 10 months. For those of you just discovering us, let me tell you a bit about us. Blooms operates from a home floral studio in Golden Hills and delivers fresh flower arrangements, subscriptions and custom orders for events all over the Greater Tehachapi area. Whether it is a one-time order for a special occasion; a recurring...
At Blooms, one of our goals when we started our business was to work with local Tehachapi growers when possible in order to source fresh flowers grown right here in Tehachapi soil. There are several advantages and benefits to using local sources. First, when we buy locally sourced flowers, we know exactly how old those flowers are, whether or not they have had pesticides used on them, and how they have been handled, basically from the seed stage to the cutting stage. Sometimes I even cut them my...
Blooms opened for business in August of 2023, offering custom flower designs, floral subscription and local delivery throughout the greater Tehachapi area. Our goal is to provide fresh, premium quality and unique arrangements with excellent customer service. In the ongoing effort to keep the flowers as fresh as possible, Blooms weekly shops the flower markets in the Southern California region, bringing home a new assortment each Monday and using those varieties throughout the week. This is also...
Ranunculus flowers are always a crowd pleaser and a favorite for many people. These hardy blooms look incredibly fragile, with layer upon layer of delicate, almost transparent petals but, in reality, they are surprisingly long-lasting. If they are cut when they are still closed and squishy, a fresh ranunculus can be expected to last up to 10 days or longer in an arrangement. Ranunculus bloom in the spring, preferring cooler temps, and grow in a vast color range from startlingly bright yellow to...
A huge thank you goes out from Blooms to all of you who showed up and supported us over this Valentine's holiday! It's an insane time in a florist's life, and we just could not have done it without all of you. We are grateful, with a heart full of appreciation. Up next ... springtime! Easter! I know you've all been seeing the green hills and the buds beginning to pop out in the beautiful nature around us. It makes me think of spring blooms. In the floral studio, we'll be adding some specialties...
We are rapidly approaching Valentine's Day, and those of us in the floral industry have had this date on our radar for some time. We are gathering extra vases, counting out flowers, pre-ordering from our wholesalers and trying to prepare as much as possible in advance. The hope is that the week of, and the actual day, is as manageable as possible and that we have the supplies needed during a week when supply and demand drives prices upwards. Take red roses, for example – the most popular V...
One of the services we offer at Blooms is a flower subscription. Most people these days are familiar with subscription services providing everything from medicine and books to meals and household items. But the most common reaction we see when a flower subscription is mentioned is surprised interest, followed by the question, "What is that?" or "How does that work?" So here's a brief overview into how the flower subscription works at Blooms. The first step is to visit our website at...
Let's talk for a minute about taking care of your fresh flowers. You've been sent a gorgeous design from your local florist and you want it to last as long as possible, so now what? The first and most important thing flowers need is water, and plenty of it. Freshly cut stems can soak up lots of water, in the first few days especially. To ensure your flowers have all the water they can drink, check the water level at least one or even twice daily and keep it as full as the container will allow....
...to be thinking about the holidays!

In addition to having several Thanksgiving centerpiece options posted on our social media pages for you to choose from, we are always...
