Huisman Flowers will help you step into the first Day of Spring on March 20th with colorful, elegant, and fresh flowers

Huisman Flowers

March 20th is the first day of Spring. Daylight Savings time kicks in so we have more daylight after work and the weather is warming. For many people Spring is a favorite time of year. I have heard friends say that it is a time of renewed life as trees and flowers bloom. For these folks Spring creates an overwhelming sense of joy. Then for some of us it is a stepping stone for the summer season.

To help usher in the Spring season, Huisman Flowers has a wide array of brightly colored and very fresh spring time floral products. If you would like to surprise someone, send them one of our Spring flower bouquets. They will be thrilled and filled with the joy of Spring.

Hemispheres experience different seasons. In the United States and United Kingdom located in the Northern Hemisphere, Spring time is defined as March, April and May. However, in the Southern Hemisphere, countries like Australia and New Zealand are experiencing autumn. In that Hemisphere Spring time is defined as September, October and November.

Scientifically speaking, the warmer weather of Spring is caused by the actual tilting of the earth’s axis toward the Sun. This of course increases the amount of daylight which increases the warmth of temperature. In order to offer more daylight for outside activities, the majority of our states convert to Daylight Savings time.

While many of us are officially observing the season of Spring, countries like Sweden are not. In Sweden, Spring is defined as the first occasion on which the average temperature exceeds zero degrees Celsius. This is tricky because of the many varying elevations in Sweden. As you might imagine, while one geographic area of the country has exceeded zero degrees Celsius, higher elevations have not.

With all of the warmth and beauty Spring time offers, there is an element of concern. Flooding is common as snow and ice masses begin to melt. Streams and rivers are taxed at this time of year and many times are not able to handle the additional volume of water. As their banks overflow, communities can be in danger of flooding. Then there is the issue of the warmer air coming in contact with the colder air that has not yet stopped streaming down from the North and South Poles. The effect of these two air masses causes the threat of severe weather which can be dangerous.

There are numerous Spring flowers and some of those that are the first to appear are below:

Lilacs – Found in several varieties, Lilacs are colorful and very fragrant. Despite the old wives’ tale that if is bad luck to bring them indoors, their blooms of blue, pink, white and lilac will brighten up any home.
Tulips – These amazing spring time flowers are very low maintenance. You plant the bulbs in late fall or early winter. When they begin grow an bloom in the spring.
Lilies – Trumpet shaped blooms coming in a multitude of colors, Lilies are fragrant and elegant.
Daffodils – Colors of peach, apricot, orange, coral, white and yellow the Daffodil is a frilly delicate flower.

The professionals at Huisman Flowers would be excited to help you find a lovely spring flower bouquet as a gift or for yourself.

Huisman Flowers

The great thing about Saint Patrick’s Day is that you do not have to be Irish to get into the fun of the holiday. It is that last big hoorah before we usher in the Spring season. We employ a team of very talented floral designers at Huisman Flowers. They create luxurious, upscale flower arrangements. Our delivery team is also one of the best in Michigan. They have years of experience and training. Huisman Flowers provides local same day and express flower delivery service in Allegan, Kent, Muskegon and Ottawa counties.

Local Same Day and Express Flower Delivery Service

Huisman Flowers offers the best fresh flower arrangements for Saint Patrick’s Day and all special occasions. Our firm operates two floral design centers in the Lake Michigan area. We have a flower shop in Grand Haven. That shop is located at 556 N Beacon Blvd., Grand Haven, MI 49417. The phone number for the Grand Haven design center is (616) 244-8274. We also operate a flower shop in Holland. That flower shop is located at 11595 E Lakewood Blvd., Holland, MI 49424. The phone number for the Holland design center is (616) 259-0424. Both flower shops are open to the public for in-store shopping. Each is equipped with a walk-in cooler. Our coolers are always filled with beautiful, farm fresh designs, themed for many different occasions.

Our firm purchases many of the flowers we sell direct from floral farms. We buy from both domestic and international growers. Buying direct offers many great advantages. We are often able to reduce our cost by eliminating the wholesalers. When we purchase direct from the grower, we are able to reduce the time between when the flower is cut at the farm and when it is available to our designers to use in an arrangement. Fresher flowers translate directly into longer vase life for recipients of our arrangements.

Saint Patrick’s Day has historically been a day of celebrations and many large parties out on the town. This year things are different with crowds not quite as large and parades not as plentiful if held at all. Even so that is no reason to not find alternative ways to enjoy friends and family. While you are planning your home party, be sure to have festive Saint Patrick’s Day floral products from Huisman Flowers on display. Our colorful Saint Patrick’s Day flower arrangements and lush green plants are eye catching works of art. Did you know that the original theme color for Saint Patrick’s Day was blue and not green? If you want to shake things up try purchasing some of our blue flower arrangements and tell your guests they are for this special holiday.

Below are a few ideas for home party activities:

Have a Costume Up Contest
Scavenger Hunt
Make Green Beer
Watch a Virtual Parade
Let Youngsters Make Irish Crafts
Play Pin the Clover on the Leprechaun.
Watch an Irish Movie
Learn to Step Dance

Shop Huisman Flowers this Saint Patrick’s Day and you will discover the freshest and most festive flowers and plants.

March 8, 2021 is International Women’s Day. Huisman Flowers has gorgeous flower arrangements to honor a special woman or women’s group on this day. When you look back in history, it is amazing how much progress has been made for Women’s equality. Women now hold many powerful and influential positions within our society. Of course this was not always the case.

The first International Women’s Day was held in the United States in 1909. Then the day began to gain popularity in other countries and by 1911 it was observed in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. In honor of this in 2011 there was a 100 year anniversary to celebrate.

So here it is 2021 and the world is a changed place in so many ways. One way is that women now have gained momentum in terms of job equality and opportunity. That is not to say there is not still room for improvement but much progress has been and in a century. You now find women in numerous high level roles within the public and private sector. Women now can be found in many boardrooms.

In order to honor the meaning of International Women’s Day, a beautiful flower arrangement from Huisman Flowers will be a welcomed surprise. Then to carry on that effort, below are some ideas to create a positive environment.

Boost self-esteem – Common sense to make a person feel like they are special and have great ideas and abilities. If you have a daughter what better reason than to boost her self esteem. Encourage individuality and the pursuit of education.
Eliminate negativity – Tough to be a women with all the pressure from beauty ads and social media. Help to cut through all of that and promote the positive aspects of intelligence and honesty.
Lead by example – People who have experienced success in their careers owe it to younger workers to be a good role model. Young women starting out will look up to positive role models and want to emulate that successful behavior. You may become their mentor and career buddy as some companies like to create.
Support businesses – Small businesses are vital to our community. Women run small businesses can use the extra support by way of investment, donations, or simply doing business with them.
Show your appreciation – This one is fairly obvious. Think about all of the wonderful things the women in your life do to contribute to society. Show the women in your life how much you appreciate them by sending a thank you card, giving them a compliment, or simply telling them what they mean to you.

Floral Design Day

Floral Design Day was created in honor of a gentleman by the name of Carl Rittner. Mr. Rittner ran a school for floral design in Boston appropriately named “The Rittners School of Floral Design”. People interested in the floral design work space flocked to his teachings both domestically and internationally.

As the talented designers at Huisman Flowers will tell you, designing flowers is an art form. These folks must learn to think outside the box and be able to visualize the end product they want to create. Flowers convey so many different meanings thus it is important that a floral designer put their heart and soul into their work. The floral designers at Huisman Flowers are loaded with talent.

When you have a true appreciation for art, you will recognize that flower design creations are magnificent, colorful and symbolic. That is why there is a special day devoted to the art of floral design. When you consider the number of stunning flower arrangements delivered all over the world everyday and the countless floral designers involved in the process, it is mind boggling. That is why Floral Design Day is so special to all of the designers in the industry.

Becoming a floral designer in the multibillion dollar floral industry is a process. A key ingredient is the true passion for creating beautiful art. One may enter the floral design industry with a high school diploma but to really hone their skills and develop knowledge, continuing education is invaluable.

Courses offered at community colleges or trade schools can deepen a persons knowledge and understanding of floral design. People can receive on the job training by working in green houses or other horticultural environments. For those truly motivated by a career as a floral designer, it is possible to obtain the Certified Floral Designer credential offered by The American Institute of Floral Designers.

So how would you write a job description for a Floral Designer or Florist? Perhaps like below:

Ability to create attractive flower arrangements
Understand the life cycle of flowers
Understand the properties of flowers like delicacies and toxicity
Knowledge of wholesale purchasing
Ability to educate consumers on flower and plant care

The Floral Designers at Huisman Flowers are passionate and creative. You will be amazed and pleased with any floral product you select.
