Get Ready for Labor Day Festivities with Flowers and Gifts
For decades, the first Monday of September has been designated as Labor Day. It's a day to celebrate the American worker and the contributions they make to our local and national economies. For many, it's also a three-day weekend and the official end to summer. While some don't have to work on Labor Day, there are many that continue to work to keep retail and service businesses open. We thank everyone for their hard work, including our own talented team at our San Diego flower shops. Here are some ideas for what you can do with flowers on Labor Day. If you are a business owner, send your team members some flowers to let them know how much you appreciate them.

We've also got some incredible gift crates that include flowers and other special items. This is a nice way to show those special workers just how much you rely on them and value their efforts. You might also do the same for a friend, colleague, neighbor [...]

Our San Diego flower shops, including those in El Cajon and La Mesa, and our website are ready to help you surprise those around [...]
