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 [...]

Send a Gift that Leaves a Lasting Impression

There is a reason flowers are such a popular gift – not only are they beautiful but they have a way of making a lasting impression because they represent nature and are so truly unique, especially in terms of showing someone’s love for a special occasion like a birthday, special event, anniversary, new baby or a just because. One of the favorite things we like to do is create flower arrangements that stand out among all the rest so that recipients know that this was not some group of flowers picked up at the supermarket cooler. Instead, it was made by a team of professional floral designers that added their own flair for design, color combinations, and flower varieties not to mention special containers. We are proud to show off our latest collection of Metropolitan Designs that include many contemporary and stunning flower arrangements that will be a real standout as a gift for others or yourself.

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 [...]
