Day: December 5, 2008

According to an old German legend, if you find a bird’s nest in your Christmas tree you and your family will experience health, wealth and happiness in the coming year. Hmmm… This sounds like something we could all use! One problem: I can’t find a tree with a nest. It’s time to head to the florist and think like a bird. A cute little florist-made nest filled with fresh flowers, shiny glass balls and Faux Eggs is the perfect addition to your tree. Don’t stop there! A Christmas nest is a wonderful early Christmas gift. Gather several and share the Christmas legend with friends and neighbors. We all need health, wealth and happiness in 2009.

We at Flora2000 are always looking for ways to provide our customers with more information and knowledge on flowers, flower buying and floral trends. With that goal in mind, Flora2000 is proud to welcome the good folks at Floral Design Institute (FDI) into our family.
