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 [...]

Celebrating the Fourth of July with Flowers

Beyond flags, fireworks, and streamers, the Fourth of July is a reminder of our freedom as a nation and as individuals. It is a special holiday that is often celebrated with parades, parties, and picnics. This makes it a great opportunity to use flowers as part of the decorations and enjoy the natural beauty all around us. Decorating with Flowers The beauty of flowers is that they often can become the decorations thanks to their colorful and patriotic color palette. This includes many flowers in red and white, including roses, carnations, lilies, daisies and tulips. Flowers can also be dyed blue to add to the patriotic palette of Fourth of July flower arrangements. Of course, not all flowers have to be red, white, and blue to befit an Independence Day bash. You can use vases and ribbons in red, white, and blue as well as add pinwheels or miniature firework rockets or stars on sticks within the patriotic flower arrangements. Flowers for All Types of Fourth of July Celebrations There are many places to add flowers on the Fourth of July: Party centerpieces; Picnic table displays; Flower garlands; Hanging baskets on streets or porches; Wreaths and standing displays for cemeteries; and Float decorations. Fourth of July Flower Care Of course, Fourth of July is one of the hottest times of the year even here in San Diego. Therefore, you want to make sure that your flower arrangements for Fourth of July can withstand the heat, sunlight, and humidity. Before the event, keep the flowers in a cool, dark place or at least out of direct sunlight. Make sure the flowers also receive enough fresh water and flower food to keep them nourished so they can look their freshest when on display. [...]
