Enjoy information, ideas, and inspiration from floral industry expert and flower enthusiast Dottie Harrigan, “Voice of the Flower Godmother”, as she shares tips for buying, using, arranging, caring for, and reaping the benefits of including flowers in your daily life.

The Flower Godmother recognizes four different types of Flower Lover:

• Expressionists – those who love to give floral gifts when they have something to say.
• Enthusiasts – those who love to have flowers in their home / office environments (they wouldn’t think of having an event without flowers).
• Hobbyists – those who love the process of arranging flowers themselves.
• Future Flower Handlers – those who dream of having a full or part-time career in the floral industry.

Anyone can be a different type of Flower Lover on any given day – depending on their situation, need, want, or desire for flowers on that day.

The Flower Godmother understands that because you have different situations, needs, wants, or desires for flowers on any given day, you may find yourself wondering where to buy your flowers: the florist, the supermarket, the vendor on the street; online, in person, by special order …

The Flower Godmother has no preferences where you buy your flowers – only that you understand the varying degrees of care, preparation, services, and labor provided by each floral retailer and how to use and care for your flowers to get the maximum pleasure.

This blog has been categorized to help you find the tips you need for your current situation and perspective (Expressionist, Enthusiast, or Hobbyist) no matter where you buy your flowers. Enjoy!
