Boss’s Day Plants & Flowers for the Office

The word "boss" is a derivation of the Dutch word "baas", which means master. But the best bosses don't take that word literally; in fact, although there are many types and personalities of bosses, they all have some very positive character traits in common. On October 16, we have the opportunity to celebrate those employers, team leaders and supervisors who make the workplace a productive, positive, and fun place to be. Are you lucky enough to have a great boss? Mark your calendar! The professionals at Schaaf Floral have the green plants, floral designs, and gift ideas that will help you to recognize your boss and all they do for the company.

Fall Colors and Autumn Centerpieces

The arrival of fall is exciting for many reasons. The air is cooler, our drinks change from "on the rocks" to "pumpkin spice", and we get to bring out a new wardrobe. Autumn colors are emerging all around us, as nature dons new attire of her own - and many of us cannot wait until we can change the decor in our house to reflect the season. At Schaaf Floral, we have all the fall colors and autumn centerpieces you'll need to bring autumn indoors in a beautiful way. The real identifying mark of fall decor is the vivid color palettes.  Bright yellows, burnt oranges, inviting golds and rich burgundies warm up the ambiance with cozy comfort and hospitality.

Bouquets & Arrangements to Greet New Neighbors

Each year, about 15% of the United States population moves into a new home. This represents about 40 million people, so chances are excellent that in the coming months, you are likely to encounter new neighbors. Schaaf Floral has hundreds of ideas as to floral arrangements, plants and gifts that will help to make the new arrivals feel welcome. Why Do We give Housewarming Gifts? Before electricity, it was common for friends and family to visit when someone moved into a new home, and they brought one very specific gift - firewood to keep the house cozy over the winter months. Therefore, the gathering was quite literally a "house-warming". These days, although gifts may vary, the idea is still to convey warmth, comfort and a welcoming air.  Read More about Bouquets & Arrangements to Greet New Neighbors »

The day is also a perfect opportunity for younger generations to express their gratitude and love for their grandparents. If your Grandma or Grandpa is a special person in your life, September 10 is the day to honor them.

Delivering Floral Arrangements ‘Just Because’
