A growing number of local florists have become active bloggers in recent years.\u00a0 Mind you, we’re nowhere as great in numbers nor as prolific as the Mom bloggers targeted by 1-800-Flowers<\/a> this Mother’s Day, but we’re working hard on the local level to share news, tips and advice about buying flowers and striving to make independent local shops the preferred source for fresh bouquets and gifts.<\/p>\n

Bloggers Share Mother’s Day Flowers Ideas<\/strong><\/p>\n

Adam<\/strong> from Belvedere Flowers in the Philadalphia Metro area<\/a> is featuring a unique fresh flower purse
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a> \"\"<\/a> in his blog and you can see it being modeled by his real Mom, Eileen, on this video<\/a>. Betcha Adam won’t forget to create something special for her this holiday either. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Robin<\/strong> from Spring City Flowers in New Berlin, WI (Milwaukee Metro Area)<\/a> blogged about some gift suggestions and ideas for Mom<\/a>, like this vibrant signature design<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

– and she also reminded readers to give Mothers the most important gift:\u00a0 Time<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n

Take a class together. Floral wreaths, card-making, herb gardens, jewelry… there are so many ways to get together and spend time with your Mom, doing something fun and learning a new skill while you’re at it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Chez Bloom<\/strong> from St. Louis Park, MN (Minneapolis Metro Area)<\/a> previewed one of their couture floral designs – Raspberry Sorbet<\/strong><\/em> –\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

in a sneak peek of their original Mother’s Day holiday<\/a> offerings and announced the company has joined the BBrooks<\/strong> consortium of fine florists.<\/p>\n

Dianne<\/strong> at Richardson’s Flowers in Medford NJ<\/a> invited customers to register to win free flowers for their Moms for a year<\/a>! Her blog post also includes some fun facts like<\/p>\n

\n

The ancient Greeks celebrated Mother’s Day in spring, like we do. They used to honor Rhea, “mother of the gods” with honey-cakes and fine drinks and flowers at dawn. Sounds like the beginnings of the Mother’s Day tradition of breakfast in bed!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Eric<\/strong> from Everyday Flowers in Tustin, CA<\/a> <\/em>has a terrific post <\/em>about avoiding flower middleman and explains why consumers should shop at their local florists this Mother’s Day<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> On my own shop’s blog, <\/em>I talked about how much the flowers preferred by Orange County Moms for Mother’s Day<\/a> have changed over the last 25 years since\u00a0 Avante Gardens Florist in Anaheim<\/a> is celebrating 2 1\/2 decades in business in 2009.<\/p>\n

Technology has made communicating with Mom faster and easier than ever before, but text messaging or tweeting Mom on her special day is no substitute\u00a0 for real face time – and flowers<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Have a Happy Mother’s Day and remember, like Sher<\/strong> from Flowers from the Rainflorist<\/a> said in a recent blog post<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

For every $ 100<\/strong> dollars spent in an independant store…$ 68.00<\/strong> is returned to the community through payroll, taxes and other expenditures. If you spend that in a National chain store, only $ 43.00<\/strong> stays in the community. Now, for all you online shoppers….guess what? Shopping online brings\u00a0 $ 0.00<\/strong> back into your community…yes zero! Think of the times you buy flowers from a large order gather or middleman service…now more than ever you have a reason to establish a good relationship with your local hometown florist. And using a local flowers shop’s\u00a0website, still keeps money in your community.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So shop local, get real grower fresh flowers and save real dollars by choosing a real local florist this Mother’s Day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
