What’s in Bloom? Begin piecing together your bouquet by learning what’s blossoming this time of year. When picking out your stems at your flower shop or garden center, look for flowers that are vibrant, open and blemish-free, or are just about to bloom. Our seasonal favorites include:
Tip: To make your bouquets more meaningful, let the Language of Flowers guide your floral picks.
Tip: Use hand-bundled bouquets to create colorful spring centerpieces. As the fresh stems begin to fade, replace them with faux florals that will last and last.

Not Your Average Flowers
Spices can be expensive investments to any kitchen, but don't let their benefits run out once those spices are gone. Glass spice jars make perfect bud vases, and can add sweetness and fire to any home décor. Rinse the inside of the jars out and add a handpicked bud from your garden. Not liking the labels on you jars? Cover them with slick, brightly colored paper that compliments your room's decor or wrap them in old newspaper (cut to size) for a more rustic look. We like to arrange a cluster of these in a multitude of sizes and shapes for additional interest and whimsy. These dainty jars are perfect for any window sill and are mighty enough to reuse and give as gifts.
