I’m a dried flower farmer and the proud owner of Harvest Hill Flower Farm, right here in beautiful British Columbia. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of growing and harvesting blooms that bring life, colour, and calm into homes, workshops, and small businesses.
I often hear from crafters and small business owners in Vancouver: “It’s hard to find single-type dried flowers in small quantities without paying crazy retail prices.” I totally get it—I’ve been there too. That’s part of why I started Harvest Hill: to provide locally grown, high-quality dried flowers that are accessible to anyone who wants to create, gift, or sell.
Here’s my personal guide to sourcing dried flowers in BC, including my favourites from other local farms and shops.
1. Harvest Hill Flower Farm
Of course, I have to start with my own farm! At Harvest Hill, we grow and dry a wide variety of flowers right here in BC. From vibrant strawflowers to sunny craspedia, every stem is cultivated with care, harvested at peak bloom, and dried naturally to preserve colour and texture.
We designed our farm to make it easy for crafters and small business owners to get exactly what they need. You can order by the stem, so you can experiment with different varieties without overspending.
Beyond just selling flowers, I love sharing the story behind each bloom. Every stem has been tended from seed to harvest with patience and care. My hope is that the beauty and love that goes into growing each flower shines through in the arrangements and crafts you make.
2. Celsia Florist
Celsia Florist is one of those spots that make my heart skip a beat every time I visit their online shop. Their dried flower bouquets are curated with an eye for balance, color, and longevity. Unlike buying loose stems, these pre-arranged bouquets are perfect if you want a ready-made pop of natural beauty in your home or as a thoughtful gift.
While their pricing is on the higher end, you’re paying for convenience and artistry. Each bouquet is arranged by florists who truly know how to highlight the best qualities of each bloom. It’s an excellent option if you want to enjoy dried flowers immediately without any fuss.

Lavender bunch: $35 per bunch
3. VYN Flowers
VYN Flowers has a fascinating story. Started in Canada and now also growing in Colombia, they offer a bridge between retail and wholesale. Their catalog is extensive, and once you create a wholesale account, you can access pre-arranged dried flower bunches at a lower cost than retail florists.
They’re ideal for small-scale business owners, workshop hosts, or anyone planning a DIY wedding. You can grab a variety of stems without committing to a huge bulk order—though their minimum order is still $500, it’s manageable if you’re planning a larger project. I especially like how VYN makes sourcing unusual or seasonal flowers much simpler than trying to find them locally.
Sample Pricing:

Some varieties: $0.50 per stem
4. Independent Etsy Sellers
Etsy is a treasure trove for rare and mixed dried flower bundles. Many sellers source their blooms from wholesalers or farms and then curate them into unique combinations. While prices can be a bit higher per stem, the variety is unmatched.
I always recommend checking the origin of the flowers and reading reviews carefully. Shipping can also add to the cost, so factor that in. For DIY projects or unique gift arrangements, Etsy is a fantastic option. I personally love supporting small independent sellers—it’s like sending a little love to another creative human.
Sample Pricing:
-
Mixed dried strawflowers (10 stems): $30 (~$3 per stem)
5. Bulk Bunches
Bulk Bunches caters to DIY wedding planners, small business owners, and anyone who loves crafting with flowers. Their system is entirely online—you pick your flowers and greens, select your quantities, and schedule your pickup. They require about three weeks’ notice to secure the freshest blooms, which I think is a great way to ensure quality.
One of the things I love about Bulk Bunches is their variety. They offer both common and unusual blooms, so whether you’re making simple arrangements or elaborate wedding decor, you have options.
Sample Pricing:
-
Craspedia (10 stems): $27
6. Yakashiro Farm
Yakashiro Farm is a hidden gem in BC. They specialize in small bundles of both common and rare dried flowers, making them perfect for crafters, wreath makers, and boutique floral businesses. Seasonal availability means you’ll often find interesting varieties like feverfew and unique dahlias that aren’t easy to source elsewhere.
The farm focuses on quality and sustainability, ensuring that each stem is carefully grown and dried. Their small bunches are perfect if you want variety without committing to large wholesale cases.
Sample Pricing:
-
Bunches of 5: $5
7. Flower Factory
Flower Factory offers both beautifully styled bouquets and simple bunches of dried flowers. They cater to those who want something ready to go, as well as DIYers looking to craft their own arrangements.
I appreciate Flower Factory for their versatility—they serve both the casual buyer looking for home decor and the small business owner planning workshops or wedding projects.

8. The Lavender House
As the name suggests, The Lavender House focuses on lavender, offering dried bunches that are perfect for both gifting and home use. Their products are simple, elegant, and aromatic, making them a go-to if lavender is your flower of choice.
Lavender is so versatile—it can be used in bouquets, wreaths, sachets, and even home DIY beauty products. The Lavender House makes sourcing high-quality lavender easy and convenient.

9. Miscellany + Co
Located in the Okanagan Valley, Miscellany + Co is run by a talented one-woman team combining flower farming, woodworking, soap-making, and floral design. Every bunch has a story and a personal touch.
I love this shop because it’s more than just flowers—it’s a lifestyle. Each stem reflects the care, patience, and artistry of its maker. Their mixed strawflower bunches are perfect for small-scale crafting projects or adding unique touches to workshops.
