A Sweet Treat For Your Sweet

Sweetest Day, observed each year on the third Saturday in October, was created during the Great Depression when a candy store employee, Herbert Birch Kingston, decided to spread happiness and good cheer to those less fortunate than him.

Griffin’s Floral Design is eager to help you keep tradition alive with our wide variety of gift baskets and floral arrangements you can choose to send to the sweetest ones in your life. Read More

Marvelously Meaningful Flowers

By Russ Griffin on August 31, 2018 in Flower Gifts, Flowers. 0 Comments

Every year on Valentine’s Day, my three daughters receive a rose from their father. He started this tradition with them when they were young because he wanted their first roses to come from their father, rather than “some boy.” They treasure their rose every year because of everything it symbolizes between them and their dad. The floral artisans at Griffin’s Floral Design understand the importance of flowers and how they can contribute to a special occasion or tradition in many ways. Read More

As Grandparents Day approaches, we have some delightful ideas for how children and grandparents can spend time together and foster their relationships. Try taking grandparents to their favorite on-stage musical or create a memory quilt with fabric from special moments in your family’s history. Ask grandparents to tell their favorite stories or memories to children and invite kids to ask questions and share their adventures with their grandparents. Griffin’s Floral Design also suggests beginning the whole day with flowers. What is your grandmother’s favorite type? Does she have a story to go with it? Delight her with a bouquet and the memories that come with it this Grandparents Day. Read More

Rich, White Floral Styles For Before And After Labor Day

By Russ Griffin on August 19, 2018 in Flowers, Summer. 0 Comments

Gone are the days of ridding ourselves of white as soon as Labor Day arrives. This antiquated rule stems back to a time when fashion rules were very pragmatic- summertime was hot and called for light-weight, light colored clothing and decor inside homes. White was also easier to keep clean, and thus to be avoided once muddy fall and winter set in. Advancements in society have led to cooler homes, cleaner clothes and furnishings, and plenty of options for including white with heavier fall or winter textures. Why not work with white this fall as you decorate your home? Griffin’s Floral Design thinks you just might discover a whole new spin on design that you love. Read More

The Flowers Bees Love

By Russ Griffin on August 13, 2018 in Flowers, Summer. 0 Comments

Creating a bee-friendly environment in your backyard or garden is a simple process that can yield huge benefits. We love bees, not just for the balance they create in the eco-system, but also for the work they do to pollinate flowers, fruits and vegetables. On a large scale, bees contribute to a large portion of the world’s food sources. Keeping them healthy and thriving in our own gardens is a way to fight their declining numbers. Griffin’s Floral Design recommends adding plants and bright blooms with sweet fragrances like roses, lavender, mint, or sage to your outdoor space for maximum benefit to bees. Read More
