In the 1970s, National Grandparents Day was created to given children and grandparents alike an opportunity to spend time together and highlight the special and unique relationship they shared. Children can learn so much from an older generation, and grandparents’ hearts can be filled to overflowing when they spend time with their children’s children. While Forget-Me-Nots were traditionally given on this day, the floral experts at Walter Knoll Florist suggest sending or bringing your grandparents an arrangement that has special meaning to them.

When you include white in your home or office decor, you bring a freshness to the space like no other. While white has traditionally been a summer-only color, we offer an alternative to this idea. Much like the trend in the fashion industry of ignoring the “no white after Labor Day” rule, we admire the bold and modern look of white decor all year round. Whether you go all out with white furniture and carpeting, or simply add white accents to make a room sizzle for a season, white has a major effect on your look. Clean lines and unusual textures emerge when you use white in your decorating. The floral designers at Walter Knoll Florist have some excellent all-white floral arrangements to include in your decorating. Read More about Summer’s Beautiful White Flowers »
Bees are fighting a losing battle these days, with environmental changes affecting their livelihood. These important contributors to the world’s food sources could leave a very big problem behind if they disappear completely. But there are ways we can help, right in our own backyards. If you have a thriving garden, be sure to include bee-friendly options like daisies, irises, roses and lavender to attract bees and give them a safe place to work. Bees need fresh water to stay hydrated and some shade for hot days- providing both of these elements in your garden is a recipe for a successful bee culture in your yard. Walter Knoll Florist encourages you to make your outdoor space beautifully inviting for bees and other pollinators. Read More about Garden Flowers That Enchant Bees »
