glassware, dishes & silverware
Whether you are offering a catered, buffet, family-style meal, these vendors typically require you to supply your own glasses, dishes and silverware. Food trucks vary with offering disposable plates/silverware, so check with them on what’s included. There are rental companies in the area that supply these items, but often charge hefty delivery fees and have minimum order requirements. We’ve designed our prices to be competitive with these rates and offer you greater convenience / one less vendor to manage and coordinate with.

FLOrals & Greenery
Our florals & greenery are great options for those looking for of-the-moment, local decor that may take the form of many shapes, colors, and sizes depending on the season. Those looking for more formal arrangements with specific items or colors, boutonnières, or bouquets are best to source their florals elsewhere.
We arrange and display our florals in small vases to make conversation easier across tables, and spread abundantly throughout the greenhouse. We recommend the same amount of florals regardless of guest quantity in the greenhouse to fill the space nicely — with some being placed on dining tables, outdoor bistro tables, the bar, food service tables etc. For a 120 person event, this typically looks like 15 of our dining tables with 3-4 small vases on each, 3 outdoor bistro tables with 1 vase on each, and 5-10 vases spread out in the venue on side tables, the bar etc.
| Description | Pricing | |
| wildflower bud vase arrangements | Wildflowers and seasonal flora will be gathered from our land and arranged in bud vases throughout the greenhouse. | $375 |
| wildflower + local flower bud vase arrangements | Wildflowers from our land combined with flowers from local farmers will be arranged in bud vases throughout the greenhouse. This option typically provides a bit more color and variety than the pure wildflower arrangements. | $500 |
