The Flowers Our Grandparents Pass On

The relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is a unique one to be celebrated throughout a family. That’s why Grandparents Day is observed each September. This day is set aside for children to honor their grandparents while learning about the wisdom and guidance they can offer. It also gives grandparents the chance to show love to their children’s children. Schaaf Floral believes there is no better reason to send flowers than in celebration of such great family connections.

Beautiful Flowers Bees Love

There is a growing problem these days where bees are concerned. Their population is dwindling due to habitat loss and climate change. As a result, these valuable pollinators are becoming less able to contribute to major food sources. It’s important to keep bees alive and start to see their numbers grow. Schaaf Floral suggests that by maintaining a healthy garden or yard that attracts bees, we can do our part in re-establishing their homes and numbers. Providing fresh water and a bit of shade, including bee-friendly flowers in your outdoor space, and keeping your yard and garden free of harmful pesticides are all ways we can help bees and fight their declining numbers. Bees are attracted to bright yellows and reds, as well as deep blues and purples, and they love simple, single petal flowers like daisies and sunflowers.
