This month we celebrate bosses everywhere on October 16th with Bosses Day. This National observance began in 1928 when Patricia Bays Haroski, a secretary for State Farm Insurance in Cleveland, realized her boss’s hard work often went unnoticed. Since her boss also happened to be her father, she chose his birthday as the date for acknowledging all bosses everywhere for their tireless efforts to support and motivate their employees. The official date was enacted by Ohio’s governor four years later. At Julia’s Florist, we have created a wide variety of plants, flowers and gift baskets that will make excellent gifts for your boss this year.

Sometimes old-fashioned romance can be hard to come by. We seek it out in old black-and-white photographs or films from a different era, but often we come up short in this fast-paced world. If you know someone who craves the romance of times gone by, try sending them flowers in an arrangement that will take them back to days when romance was in bloom, when ladies waited for men to approach with a determined politeness and rules were in place for a modest courtship. The floral designers at Julia’s Florist have created some gorgeous designs from the romantic era that will sing of art and music like none other.

If you’re looking for a simple way to promote a healthy environment in your own backyard, try including bee-friendly blooms and plants to encourage a balanced eco-system and strong pollination. Bees are important contributors to our food sources due to their pollination work. Create a great space for them with bright flowers and simple petal patterns, like daisies and sunflowers. Provide some shade and water to keep bees cool and hydrated as they work. Use organic pesticides (or go all natural) to invite bees into your garden and help them thrive.
