News from
the Flowershop
Helen Philpott,
Owner and Floral Director
April sees
a fleeting glimpse of short season varieties such as Baronia, Jasmine, and
Ranunculus. Order some before
they are over!
Inclement weather
and frost may have damaged local tree blossoms, but those from other parts
of the country are alive and well in our cooler.
Fragrant
herbal baskets are available this month for indoor and outdoor planting.

We are offering a variety of
mints, several basils, tiny bay trees, sages, parsleys, chives, angelica,
rosemary and lavender.

Prom Flowers:
Several
schools are holding their proms on the same weekend this year. We would love
to design your prom flowers for you so would like to remind you that we
never take more work than we can do well on any given date.
