Inspired by Nature

THE STORY OF LARKSPUR

Larkspur has been creating beautiful, nature-inspired floral and event designs in Chicago since 1994. What began as a small business specializing in weddings eventually grew into a charming retail shop in Bucktown, where we were a neighborhood favorite for a decade. Our passion for flowers went beyond design, and in addition to a retail space, we began growing flowers on our sustainable flower farm in Buchanan, Michigan. Larkspur is a proud member of Slow Flowers and the Association of Specialty Cut Flower Growers.

GROWING INTO A NEW SPACE

Today, Larkspur has transformed from a retail shop into a modern timber loft space offering natural floral designs for events, weekday deliveries, flower subscriptions and weekly flowers for homes and businesses. Larkspur shares our love of seasonally-inspired design during seminars and classes throughout the Midwest.

OUR PROMISE

At Larkspur, we believe in an inclusive and equitable environment and refuse and fight against discrimination of any kind. We donate regularly to organizations that fight for and promote gender and racial equality and justice reform.
