The floral designers at Al’s Florist have some beautiful azaleas to share with you this season. Read More

As the new year rolls in, we start to think about how we can make improvements to our health and well-being. At Al's Florist, we've found one of the best ways to do this is by surrounding yourself with flowers! Plants and flowers have so many benefits that you'll feel like a whole new you in no time. Flowers add color to your life. Color encourages creativity, so surrounding yourself with flowers in your favorite colors will encourage creative thought and energy as you work. Plants and flowers freshen the air. Because they breath out what we breath in, and vice versa, plants and flowers are natural air fresheners. Throw in their beautiful fragrances and you'll wonder why you didn't fill your home with flowers sooner! Green foliage is a natural stress reducer. The color green is known to alleviate stress and anxiety, so placing plants and flowers in your office is a great way to combat these things. Read More
