They end up travelling a shorter distance from the grower. A shorter travel time makes for better plants all around. They are not stuck in a truck in the extreme heat for as long.

Flowers and plants tend to be less expensive. This is in part to the shorter travel time so the shipping tends to be less. Heck, the plants are just better looking in the long run.

Buying local plants usually mean that they last longer. Who doesn't want that? So when you are making your plans to get out and brighten up your yard with some beautiful flowers and plants don't forget where you go is important to your success.
