This month Al's Florist is eager to celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8. This is a wonderful time to honor the women in your life who exhibit strong leadership skills and balance for better (the campaign's theme this year) in their daily lives. Who do you know that works hard for gender equality? Teachers, mentors, leaders and supporters are excellent examples of strong female contributions to the International Women's Day movement. Not affiliated with any particular organization or nationality, this global movement is in the business of making strides toward gender equality, not only in the workplace, but in all aspects of life.

By Vicky Rotunno on December 26, 2018 in Exotics and Tropicals, Floral Design, Holidays, Seasonal Flowers. 0 Comments

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

A Get Well Garden

By Vicky Rotunno on December 29, 2017 in Floral Design, Flowers, Get Well Gifts. 0 Comments

We here at Al's Florist see no reason not to give both flowers and a gift when it comes to a get well offering. Flowers have been proven to have many health benefits, everything from oxygenating the air in hospitals to improving an ailing person's outlook such that they have lower blood pressure and use fewer pain meds. And gifts are gifts; while they may not be able to offer all of the healing properties of flowers or potted plants, they make a person feel special and thought of. Read More

At Al's Florist, we love being a part of the Hollywood community. We have been privileged to be a part of your celebrations and your sadness, your triumphs and your promotions.
