A few weeks ago, I traveled to the charming town of Burlington, Vermont, located on Lake Champlain, with beautiful views of the Adirondack Mountains in the distance. Green Mountain Florists Supply hosted me, along with Susan McLeary of Passionflower, to teach for its spring education series. Owners Tom and Kim Jennings and their amazing staff […]

As an avid flower gardener, I love learning from the pro’s — flower farmers whose methods and practices often influence my own backyard steps to growing cut flowers. Some of the techniques used on commercial flower farms are not in my toolbox, which only makes me hungrier to learn from those growing flowers day in […]

Imagine walking in a funeral home or church. You are there to pay your last respects to a friend, colleague or even family member. As you enter, folks are sitting there, quietly talking but not mingling around. Well, it is a funeral so why would anyone mingle, right? As you enter and decide where to stand, sit or who to talk to you notice that the room is completely devoid of flowers. There's no plants either. Nothing. There's the memorial table or casket with the family sitting in the front but that is it. When you explore this vision, how do you feel about it? How do you feel about the environment? If it makes you feel empty or sad, imagine how the immediate family feel. No one sent flowers? Yes, they may have made donations if they could not attend but the room looks rather dark, sad and quite honestly, dull. That's not to say that churches and funeral homes are not nicely appointed but nothing is as uplifting in a space as fresh flowers.
Have you noticed how when there are lots of flowers at a funeral, everyone walks around and looks at them. It's an ice breaker allowing people to discuss the various displays and bond over them. Looking at flowers, smelling them, being close to them actually makes people feel better. Yup, studies prove it, I'm not just making that up. Still think it's a good idea to NOT send flowers? You don't think the "gift" of sending a spray for the family is worth the money? They will only die soon, right? Why waste money on something that doesn't live forever. Don't all organic things eventually die? Didn't a human being just die? Weren't they worth getting to know? Didn't they bring joy to the world while they were here? Whether you agree with me or not, sending flowers to a funeral or memorial means a lot to the family. It's ok if you can't afford it or if you think because you are attending that you don't need to send flowers but the next time you think "It's not worth the money" I'd like you to remember this blog post. Thanks for reading and please share with the world if you agree!!

You can't be located near a prestigious University like Princeton without adding a few things to your website for Students and Faculty. With PU everything is about the colors black and orange and so we had to create at least a few designs that have the Princeton aesthetic!
