First Day of Spring and Proposal Day are Both on March 20th!

Not only is the first day of spring coming up on March 20th, but it is also Proposal Day. Both celebrations call for flowers, and we have a fresh arrival of spring flowers to add to the celebration. Proposal Day First, you may have not heard of Proposal Day, but it is a day intended for making proposals. Now, the first thing that comes to mind is a marriage proposal and that is certainly the most common action to celebrate this day. However, other proposals may be used as well so it could be proposal to be boyfriend and girlfriend or proposal to do something fun. It’s up to you! However, to make it more convincing, you may want to consider picking up a beautiful flower arrangement or spring flower bouquet. This could help seal the deal! Well, some nice jewelry could help too! First Day of Spring With spring just days away, we already have received large shipments of spring flowers from our trusted local, domestic, and international flower farm partners, including tulips, sunflowers, roses, lilacs and more. All of our San Diego flower shop locations are already taking orders for spring weddings, spring events like bridal and baby showers or birthdays and anniversaries, and spring gift giving. To celebrate, our talented team of floral designers is even creating some new signature spring flower designs to celebrate one of their favorite seasons of the year. We are excited to share these spring flower arrangements with you when you come visit our San Diego florist locations as well as peruse our Facebook page and online store. Along with spring flowers, we also have spring plants, spring basket gardens, and spring dish gardens, which are also great to enjoy at home or [...]

Plant a Flower Day is March 12th!

One of our favorite celebrations is just around the corner. That’s Plant a Flower Day on March 12th. Being in the flower business, we believe in the importance and value of sustaining our natural resources by continuing to plant so we can always enjoy these beautiful aspects of nature. The day is meant to remind people of the need to keep planting and taking care of flowers by planting flowers in your own garden or by helping out in a community garden. Participating in this day is a great way to help the Earth and give back while also enjoying a fulfilling hobby outdoors in the beautiful San Diego sunshine. We want to make sure that flowers will always be here for us, so that is why we work with flower farmers that are very conscious of what they do in terms of replanting and continually tending to the various flower varieties to make sure they will always be there for future generations to enjoy. If you cannot participate in Plant a Flower Day, you can pick a different day to plant flowers in your garden or even start a garden if you do not yet have one. It’s a great activity for you and your kids to enjoy as well as teaches future generations about the importance of taking care of the Earth. Other great ways to celebrate Plant a Flower Day is to send a flower-themed gift to a loved one. This could be a gardening gift basket with flower seeds included. Or, you could opt for a beautiful display of flowers that illustrates just why we all need to keep planting flowers and taking care of them. At Allen’s Flowers and Plants, we are pleased to provide an [...]
