Patriotic Flowers for Veterans Day

Our town doesn't skimp when it comes to celebrating Veterans Day. The Boston area has a dozen celebrations and ceremonies on the calendar this year, which makes us at Central Square Florist very proud. We've been honoring those who served in our U.S. military in one form or another since 1919 when Veterans Day was known as "Armistice Day" and centered on commemorating the end of WWI the year before. As it evolved into what it is today, so did the tributes. We have parades, observances, and even 5Ks devoted to honoring our most important patriots. But the fanfare can also come in the form of a bouquet of patriotic flowers, something meaningful, respectful, and intended to bring happiness to the worthy recipient.

Acts of Kindness on Sweetest Day

You may be surprised to learn that origins of Sweetest Day really do lie in one of the sweetest things we all enjoy - chocolate! In the early 1900's, a group of candy company executives in Cleveland started what they hoped would be a yearly initiative - giving away thousands of boxes of candy to the underprivileged. Although the effort was loudly decried by the cynics who accused the companies of exploiting those down-and-out to promote their own sales, the idea of doing something kind for those struggling did have appeal. Just over 100 years alter, Sweetest Day is still a tradition, although more popular in the Northeast and Midwest than in other parts of the country. Central Square Florist has the gifts and flowers you'll need to bring a smile to someone's face this October 21. Who in your life could use some cheering up?
