Seattle Growers Market — Local services in Seattle

I can only speak as a public customer (not a florist). If you're the same, just skip it. You won't get any deals here, in fact you'd probably be better off just going straight to one of the neighborhood or Pike Place Farmers Markets.

The good: The selection is beautiful, more unique and there are more variations than what you'd find at a grocery store or probably local Farmers Markets. You could come here and just get a unique bundle or two to help spruce up an otherwise standard bouquet elsewhere.

The cons: It's very expensive for what you get. I probably have enough florals to make 2-3 bouquets that are around the size of the $25-$30 bouquets at a Farmers Market. Unfortunately, it cost me $200.

Prices are not clearly marked for most florals (they're posted to 1 bulletin board and you would have to know the exact flower type in order to get an idea of pricing). So you do not find out your total until you check-out. Then, you're left in the awkward position of having to downsize at the register when all of the sudden a few bundles comes to $300+ like mine did.

The staff also didn't seem to know their own promotions, and/or the item codes don't have these promotions tied to them. I had to remind the cashier that 2 of my bundles were supposed to be "1/2 off". She then asked me if there were any other discounted bundles in my order.

Lastly, the receipts are not itemized. I still have no clue what the different florals came to. I know I got rid of the most expensive two (1 garden rose bunch for $64, and a different bunch for $30+) but I assume the rest were about $10-$20 each based on the range on the pricing sheets.

It's definitely a space meant for professionals who know exactly what they're looking for and are getting the wholesale prices. Which is okay! But be warned it's a VERY hands-off experience if you're just a regular Joe. There were 3 other people there for the first time also and all of them/us had to seek out an associate to understand the process, pricing, etc. It's not intuitive by any means. Or cost effective. Or convenient due to the limited public hours and appointment only.

But if you're a florist, I'm sure it's great! I don't know that I'll ever go back due to the sticker shock, however. 2.5 bouquets for...

My husband and I decided to do our own flowers for our wedding day and we are so happy that we used Seattle Wholesale Growers Market. The flowers that we were provided with were so beautiful and exactly what we were hoping for. The colors and the quality of the blooms really helped us achieve a dreamy garden atmosphere.

I was especially touched to find light purple sweet peas included in our DIY buckets. This was a very special surprise because my late grandmother used to call me Sweet Pea and finding them in our order made me feel like she was there with me on our wedding day.

Cory and the entire team were flexible, helpful and for answered all of my questions during the ordering process. They were also very accommodating with choosing flowers that would work well with our color scheme and bud vases.

We can’t thank Seattle...

I have been going here for the last few months in preparation for my bridal events and have been blown away by the kindness and helpfulness of staff, the assortment, and the emphasis on local and sustainable flower farms. As some reviews have noted, it can be challenging to know how and what to purchase as a member of the public as prices are challenging to understand. You have to go in with the mindset that these florals are on the pricier side (considering the 30% upcharge) however are completely worth it for the quality of florals.

Endless appreciation for Whole Growers and look forward to purchasing...
