3-WAYS TO SHOP SWGM!

Welcome to our Market!  We offer Professional Floral Buyers 3 different ways to purchase.

A Buyer’s Pass is required to shop at the Market during regular business hours, order online, or place a future order for your floral needs.  If you are a professional floral business and do not already have an account registered with us, please click here to register.

If you are a public customer (not a professional floral business), click here to learn more about how to shop with us!

1. ORDER ONLINE FOR PICK-UP NEXT WEEK

Registered professional floral buyers can view availability and reserve products for the following week using our online Marketplace.   Floral products are shown with pictures, descriptions, bunch size and stem length to ensure correct selection and color.

Orders must be placed online no later than 1:00 pm on Thursday for pick up the following week.  A product not listed on our marketplace cannot be reserved for the following week.  We have a large selection of products brought to the market for open sales, and you may find what you are looking for in person!

With the increased floral demand, we cannot accept any week-of requests for pre-orders due to seasonal availability fluctuations. This includes any requests after the close of business on Friday of the previous week. Growers harvest as much as possible for pre-orders and to stock the market floor, so please plan to shop from the market floor if you have not placed an order before this cutoff. Peak Floral Holiday periods may have earlier deadlines for placing pre-orders.

If you want to place an advance order (at least two weeks before the Wednesday pick-up), please see option #3 below!

2. SHOP THE MARKET FLOOR

Professional floral buyers can shop from the Market floor in-person for your current week needs. 

Shop directly at the Seattle Wholesale Growers Market without having to pre-order products!  We work hard to maintain a plentiful selection on the sales floor throughout the week.  Our growers deliver multiple times per week during the growing season, and many customers find shopping from the market floor their preferred way to shop. You will find unique offerings on the Market floor that are not posted online due to limited crops or seasonal timing. Shopping from the market floor allows you to have a firsthand sensory experience of seeing and selecting from the fresh floral products our local growers have delivered that week as they arrive!

3. FUTURE PRE-ORDERS

Professional floral buyers can use the order form below to place Future Pre-Orders and request products for pick up at least two weeks out (based on a Wednesday pick-up).

We require at least two weeks’ lead time to source your requested products. Due to the high volume of weddings and orders during the growing season, we recommend placing pre-orders as early as possible for specific varieties needed. Please be mindful that certain items are limited or may be seasonally unavailable, so prepare your clients that they have flexibility with substitutions in mind. We are always happy to suggest alternatives to achieve a similar look.

Wholesale pricing and availability for the following week are emailed to buyers’ pass holders every Tuesday morning.  If you are not receiving this email, check your Spam and Promotions folders or ask us to confirm that your email is in our system.  Even though you will be ordering for at least one week beyond this availability list, it is often a helpful guide for the current season.

Would you like to learn about availability in advance?

Cancellation of Special Orders and Pre-Orders

It is important for buyers enrolled with SWGMC to understand that cancellations are not allowed once an order period closes. As a buyer, you know that our farms harvest specifically to fill each individual order. After an order period closes, cancellations may result in the farm having to discard or otherwise lose sales on products set aside for your order. Because of this, buyers may be charged a cancellation fee of up to 100% of the product total. We appreciate your understanding.

Commercial accounts will require a 50% deposit on all orders, which can be canceled up to 14 days before the order is picked up. At this point, refunds and cancellations will be on a case-by-case basis. Orders we cannot cancel from growers will remain the customers’ responsibility. To learn more about our Cancellation and Substitution Policies, Click HERE.
