A Little Garden, Not Quite a Destination
The Metal Petal is a tiny flower farm with big dreams, tucked away in our own backyard in the beautiful high desert of Rio Rico, Arizona.
While we’d love to share the magic of our garden with everyone, our little patch of paradise is also our private home. For that reason, the farm is not open to public visits, tours, or walk-ins.
But don’t worry—the flowers aren’t keeping to themselves! We’re growing them with every intention of sharing their beauty with our community through thoughtfully curated, locally grown bouquets.
Our gates may be closed, but our flowers are meant to wander.

A Little About Our Pricing
Around here, flowers aren’t made on an assembly line. They’re grown with sunshine, patience, a little desert stubbornness, and plenty of love.
Our bouquet prices reflect the flowers that are in season, the cost of growing and caring for them, and the time spent gathering and arranging each stem by hand.
We believe beautiful flowers should feel like an accessible little luxury, not something reserved only for special occasions. That’s why we offer different bouquet sizes and price points, with the same thoughtfulness and care tucked into every arrangement.
Some weeks the garden may be feeling generous, and other weeks Mother Nature might be a little stingy. Either way, we price our flowers thoughtfully, balancing the true cost of growing them with our desire to share something beautiful with our community.
No mystery markups, no fancy flower math—just honest pricing for flowers grown with heart.

From Our Garden to Your Doorstep
A little flower magic, without ever leaving your couch!
Once you place your order online, we’ll take it from there! We’ll hand-select beautiful, seasonal blooms from our garden, carefully gather each stem, and arrange your bouquet with a little creativity, a lot of love, and just the right amount of wild.
Every arrangement is thoughtfully designed around what’s fresh, flourishing, and looking particularly fabulous in the garden.
Once your flowers are dressed to impress, we’ll carefully package them and deliver them right to your doorstep.
You pick the bouquet, we pick the blooms, and Mother Nature gets the final say!
No two bouquets are ever quite alike—and that’s exactly how we like it.
Grown with love. Gathered by hand. Delivered with a little desert charm.

Have Something Special in Mind?
We’re a little backyard flower farm with big floral dreams, but we’re keeping our roots—and our footprint—small! While our main focus is growing beautiful, seasonal bouquets straight from our garden, we’re always happy to entertain a special request. Custom bouquets are considered on a case-by-case basis, depending on flower availability, variety, and the size of your vision. Because some blooms require a little extra sourcing and planning, custom arrangements are priced by the stem, based on the flowers selected. We may not be a big floral shop, but we certainly aren’t short on creativity! So, if you’ve got a floral dream in mind, we’d love to hear about it. After all, some of the prettiest things grow from the smallest ideas.

A Little Flower Delivery, With a Lot of Heart
The Metal Petal may have big floral dreams, but behind the blooms is a one-woman operation with a day job, a backyard garden, and a whole lot of love for growing beautiful things! To keep our flowers fresh and our little farm manageable, we prefer to deliver locally within Rio Rico, Nogales, and the surrounding communities. But don’t let a Tucson address stop you from asking! We’re happy to consider most Tucson delivery requests and work out arrangements on a case-by-case basis, depending on scheduling, distance, and availability. A little advance notice goes a long way in helping us make the magic happen. Our delivery radius may be small, but our love for sharing flowers reaches a little farther!

Do You Offer Seasonal or Holiday-Themed Bouquets?
Love is in bloom, and we love a good excuse to celebrate! Whether it’s Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, a birthday, or simply a season that deserves a little extra flower magic, we’re happy to consider special seasonal bouquets and themed arrangements.
Because we’re a small backyard flower farm rather than a traditional florist, we ask for at least one week’s notice for holiday and themed requests. This gives us time to plan, source any special blooms, and create something beautiful just for you.
All special requests are subject to flower availability and individually priced based on the stems selected.
A little planning, a little flower magic, and a whole lot of heart!

Have a special occasion, favorite flower, or color palette in mind? We’d love to hear what you’re dreaming up! At The Metal Petal, we believe some of the most beautiful arrangements begin with a little imagination and a personal touch. While our backyard garden keeps things small and seasonal, we’re always happy to explore custom floral requests on a case-by-case basis. Reach out and tell us what you have in mind! We’ll chat about your vision, flower availability, and pricing to see what kind of floral magic we can make happen.
Big ideas are always welcome, even in our little garden.
