Green Flowers for St. Patrick’s Day

It is said that on St. Patrick's Day, everyone is Irish! So break out your finest green fashions, and grab a corned beef and cabbage plate - it's time to celebrate! If you are looking for the green floral decor to spruce up your office party, or to send to your more fanatic Celtic friends - Griffin's Floral Designs has all the green you need! With over 36 million folks of Irish descent in the United States, we will actually be celebrating in far greater numbers than even the nation of Ireland, whose total population is less than 5 million people. Here in the United States, Irish immigrants began flowing into the country in the 1700's, with the largest group of people coming in during the Irish famine in the1800s. New York City and Boston were the two metropolitan areas that absorbed the new settlers, and to this day still represent the largest population of citizens of Irish descent - but here in Columbus, we know how to celebrate as well, with a parade of our own and many local events.  Read More about Green Flowers for St. Patrick’s Day »

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!
