A Dash Of Green For Your Desktop

By Vicky Rotunno on April 9, 2018 in Administrative Professionals, Holidays. 0 Comments

We here at Al's Florist know how important it is to have an efficient, orderly work space. In fact, many of us spend more time at our jobs---and therefore at our work surfaces---than we do at home. So it's crucial that we make our desks not only as user-friendly as possible, but as appealing too. Which is why we're here today to raise a little "Desktop Awareness," just in time for Administrative Professionals Day April 25. We urge you to consider making your sad desk happy again with new, refreshing plants. Read More

When you're revamping your house for spring, cleaning out the closets and throwing away the things that no longer serve you, don't forget that front step area. We here at Al's Florist know that even during our Florida winters, we're still decorating the front of our homes with plants and other decor, so the area can take a beating. It's time to sweep away the fallen leaves and refresh those planter pots with something more reminiscent of spring. Read More

Flowering Plants For Easter

Easter is just a week away, and we here at Al's Florist are thrilled to be steeped in the season's blooms and baskets. The latter are practically synonymous with Easter---along with chocolate bunnies, Peeps and dyed eggs---but we're inclined to fill them with flowers or flowering plants. The result is an appealingly fresh gift or piece of decor for spring. Read More

A Sunny, Scented Design

By Vicky Rotunno on March 19, 2018 in Flowers, Roses, Seasonal Flowers. 0 Comments

Al's Florist is grateful for spring's glorious haul of flowers, and here's why: they smell divine. We're used to praising flowers for their visual beauty, but we see the whole flower for what it is---an enticement to all of the senses. And while it's true that not all blooms are created equal when it comes to fragrance, each and every one does have a distinct scent. Even if that scent is just of freshness, it's there, and it will work its magic on you. Read More

Spring’s Flowers Are Here!

March 21 heralds the arrival of spring, but here at Al's Florist, we're already welcoming the season's best blooms to our shelves and bins. Our geography allows us to keep gorgeous warm-weather flowers in stock all year long, for the most part, but that doesn't mean we don't get excited to showcase flowers that look as though they were just pulled from the garden come spring.

There's no better way to make yourself feel special than to go ahead and indulge in a flower or plant gift---for yourself.

And there are so many proven health benefits to having greens or flowers in the home that you really can't go wrong. Read More

How To Give Flowers So It Really Matters

Of the many occasions there are to give flowers, several stand out to us here at Al's Florist.

The flowers you received when your first child was born, nestled on the windowsill of the hospital in a flood of sunlight. Often, flowers really mean something. They're more than part of a symbolic gesture -- they're memories. Read More
