Make St. Patrick’s Day a Lucky Day with a Green Bouquet
St. Patrick's Day arrives on March 17th. It's a celebratory day with roots in Ireland, but that doesn't mean you need to be Irish to celebrate this day and enjoy the fun.

Celebrate Creativity on Floral Design Day
There is so much to be said for creativity and what it can do to lift spirits, motivate people, and create joy. One group of artists that we celebrate each year are floral designers. Our floral designers are everything to us here in San Diego. We love them and what they do so much because we see what they are able to do for the recipients of their artwork. About Floral Design Day Floral Design Day was created by Carl Rittner, the founder of the Rittners School of Floral Design in Boston. He was considered to be a pioneer in floral art education. While he started the initiative, it was Governor William Weld of Massachusetts that created the day in 1995. National Floral Design Day was then established on February 28th as a way to recognize the art of floral design and appreciate its history. Across cultures and time, floral design has been considered to be an important cultural art form. Celebrating Floral Design Day In celebrating it, our San Diego flower shops recognize and reward our floral design teams. We appreciate that many customers also drop by or send messages to our floral designers, too, not to mention come [...]

Plan Ahead and Order Early for Valentine’s Day
Although it is good to plan for Valentine's Day in advance to ensure you get what your beloved wants and it coordinates with your plans, it has become even more important to order ahead this year. That's all because of COVID-19 restrictions that have been put in place by the County of San Diego. This means that we have to limit the number of deliveries we have to do each day. On a normal week this limitation may not be a real issue. But, on Valentine's Day -- and one that falls on a Sunday -- it becomes more challenging to fit in all the Valentine's Day deliveries across San Diego even with flower shops across San Diego. We are doing deliveries across all locations in El Cajon, La Mesa, and San Diego. Ordering now by phone and online can help you lock in your preferred Valentine's Day delivery date.

Valentine’s Day is Just Around the Corner
Valentine's Day arrives on February 14th, which is not too far away. In fact, it's just around the corner, which makes this a good time to start planning how you will show your significant other much love on this special and romantic day. This year is going to be different than in previous years so you may need to get a little creative. Here are some ideas to get you started planning for Valentine's Day in San Diego. At home, make the most of your backyard or outdoor area with a romantic picnic made from items you had delivered from a store or your favorite San Diego restaurant. You could also go down to the beach, nearby lake, or park and take your picnic with you. This is also a good time to spend time together doing something you enjoy, such as hiking, biking, or even a round of golf.

Since Valentine's Day is on a Sunday this year, you may even want to do a quick getaway like skiing in the nearby mountains or a RV road trip with [...]
National Houseplant Appreciation Day!
Sunday, January 10th is National Houseplant Appreciation Day. It's a good time to bring more of nature into your home and that of others in your life. The day was created to bring more recognition to the benefits that green plants, indoor plants, and blooming plants can offer you, including cleaner air and more oxygen. Since it's also the start of a new year, it's a good way to start focusing on better health and creating a home (and even work from home) space that includes more of the outdoors. So many of us are spending more time inside than ever before, so these plants can offer a calming and healthful effect during such challenging times. The other good things to keep in mind about houseplants is that most of them are very easy to take care of and last a long time with very little maintenance. In fact, all you may need to do is put them in indirect or direct sun and check if they need water once in a while. Our San Diego flower shops also provide an extensive collection of green plants. We are always looking at ways to add more plant varieties to our in-store [...]
Sending a Thank You After the Holidays
Now that the holidays have passed, it's a good time to send your thanks to those who helped you during the holidays or provided you with a special gift.

Celebrate the New Year with the Best Holiday Decor
I don't think anyone doesn't want this year to be over already. We would like to put 2020 behind us. Never have we looked so forward to a new year, hoping it brings positive change from the challenges of this past year. That gives even more meaning to New Year's Eve celebrations as we ring in a new year with perhaps more enthusiasm than has been seen in many years. We may even want to raise the bar on decorating for our at-home New Year's celebrations. Besides decorating your own home, this may be a good time to shower your loved ones with festive winter decor. The good news is that you can still enjoy the holiday florals and plants you added for Christmas as part of your own New Year's celebrations. You may want to add other fresh winter floral arrangements to celebrate the "new" year. Add some white or cream flowers to your overall design to bring these two celebrations together as you go from on occasion to the next. The week after Christmas and before New Year's is an ideal time to send others some love, including those that might have sent you a present or as [...]

Celebrate Hanukkah with Beautiful Floral Displays
This year, Hanukkah is December 10--December 18th. Known as the Festival of Lights in Judaism. There are many traditions that are celebrated during this special holiday. These special traditions include lighting the menorah, a nine-branched light holder that is lit each night until all the eight days of the Hanukkah festival are celebrated. Another tradition involves some delicious foods, including fried foods like potato pancakes known as latkes and jelly donuts. Then, there is playing dreidel, a game that commemorates Jewish heritage. Finally, Hanukkah involves giving gifts during nightly gift exchanges. This has only been recent addition to Hanukkah celebrations, added during the late nineteenth century. Most importantly, this is a time for family and close friends to focus on what you are grateful for from the past year. And, now, more than ever, this level of gratitude and appreciation for health and each other. This is also an opportune time to focus on how you will practice more gratitude and kindness going forward. Your Hanukkah celebration here in San Diego may be a little different than during previous years because of the need to gather in smaller groups. However, you can still virtually get together to enjoy a meal [...]
