Floral Designer Spotlight – Meet Tracy

Floral Design Day originated as a celebration of one man. Carl Rittner was the founder of the Rittner's School of Floral Design in Boston - and was one of the first to champion floral designers as artisans, and their efforts as an art form. The legacy of Rittner's passion reaches into virtually every florist in the United States, and it is in this spirit that Griffin's Floral Designs celebrates our talented team of professionals. In particular, we would like to introduce you to Tracy.  Read More about Floral Designer Spotlight – Meet Tracy »

Random Acts Inspired by Kindness

"How beautiful a day can be when kindness touches it!" -George Elliston Back in the 1980s, a new phrase was coined - “Practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty." A decade later, a young man in New Zealand was inspired to start Random Acts of Kindness Day, emphasizing the question - what would happen if we all spread a little more kindness and beauty wherever we go? Celebrated on February 17th by a growing number of individuals and organizations, random acts have taken on a life of their own. While people find ways to incorporate them into everyday life, there is definitely something special about joining with millions of others to flood our world with kindness simultaneously. At Griffin's Floral Designs, we want to encourage you to spread the cheer and add to the beauty of the world around you. We’ll even help with the flowers!
