Flowers for Rosh Hashanah

The Jewish New Year is celebrated from September 24 until September 26th and is known as Rosh Hashanah. Known as the Head of the Year, this special celebration is observed for two days. This time period is known as the anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve, which provides a connection between mankind and God. Celebrating the New Year The focus during this time is to reflect on this special relationship between God and mankind, including our own personal relationship with Him. Each year is a renewal of that relationship and connection. The observance of Rosh Hashanah includes sounding the shofar, which is the ram’s horn used to announce the coronation of the king and it also calls for repentance from sin. This signals ten days of repentance that then ends with Yom Kippur, known as the Day of Atonement. The horn is blasted 100 times over the course of Rosh Hashanah services as a reminder. Other parts of Rosh Hashanah include eating an apple dipped in honey and many special foods that symbolize the blessings of a New Year. Special prayers are also said along with candle lighting ceremonies. Flowers and Gifts for Rosh Hashanah We have a range of beautiful flower arrangements that can also grace the table during Rosh Hashanah or we can make custom flower arrangements, custom floral centerpieces and gifts. Our gift collection includes cards and balloons as well as gift baskets full of fresh fruit and other festive décor that you can use for your celebrations. Our flowers are the freshest available with a wide array of varieties to choose from, including some summer and fall flowers available to enjoy. Every flower arrangement is hand arranged by our team of talented floral designers. We [...]

Back to School! Flower & Gift Ideas for the New Teacher

A new school year has already arrived, which means a new classroom and new teacher for your child. Or, you may have a few new teachers to meet if you have many kids starting the new school year. Whatever the case may be, you want to make sure you start the year off right by letting the new teacher know that you support her or him and look forward to working together for the benefit of your child. We’ve put together some flower and gift ideas for the new teacher that she or he is sure to enjoy and can either display in the classroom or take home to enjoy. Flower Gifts for Teachers Although you may not yet know the teacher and what he or she likes, you can opt for a flower arrangement that is bright, cheerful, and full of favorite flowers. Take the “Sunny San Diego” arrangement, for example. This floral arrangement works for male or female teachers thanks to its array of primary colors and variety of flowers that include lilies and roses as well as beautiful greenery and cool glass cube that fits well in small spaces. A great idea for teachers is a flower basket that they can showcase on their desk or a table in the classroom. For example, the “Violets and Butterflies” basket includes two blooming African violet plants plus some sweet butterflies and beautiful ribbon attached to the basket. Plant Gifts for Teachers If you are not sure about giving flowers, you can also opt for a plant gift, including a dish garden or this unique arrangement of succulent plants. This unique terrarium arrangement is wrapped in burlap and twine and provides a way to bring the outdoors in for the teacher [...]
