Did you know that Sunday, September 11th, 2010 is National Grandparents Day?

2011-09-07T14:33:00.006-04:00

The impetus for a National Grandparents Day originated with Marian McQuade, a housewife in Fayette County, West Virginia. Her primary motivation was to champion the cause of lonely elderly in nursing homes. She also hoped to persuade grandchildren to tap the wisdom and heritage their grandparents could provide. President Jimmy Carter, in 1978, proclaimed that National Grand Parents Day would be celebrated every year on the first Sunday after Labor Day.

Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, political speeches and ceremonies, and various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States.

At Marco Island Florist we had a wide variety of red, white and blue designs. A perfect accent to your decor. Click HERE to view our selections.

Sunflowers

2011-06-27T08:56:00.002-04:00

Sunflowers are unique in a way that they can lift the spirits of others like no other flower. They can be bright and cheery but yet very comforting. With vibrant yellow petals that surround the black center, sunflowers have an unmistakable sun-like appearance. Sunflowers come in several different shades and sizes. From small to large! And for centuries they were used as a valuable food source. Today Sunflowers continue to provide a resource for commonly used seeds and oils. Sunflowers are unique in their ability to provide energy in the form of nourishment and vibrance, an attribute which mirrors the sun and the energy provided by its heat and light.

2010 Southwest Florida Go Red for Woman Luncheon

2010-03-16T08:45:00.003-04:00

This event was cause for celebration on Tuesday at The Marco Island Florist, 178 S. Barfield Drive. Christin Collins of Norman Love Confections served heart-healthy and delicious chocolates and cake at the party, hosted by Nancy Carrington, owner of The Marco Island Florist, and Jenny Ann Oister, chair of Southwest Florida Go Red For Women Luncheon. Marco Island Florist is Marco’s exclusive location for Norman Love products, which are new to the Island.

Jennifer Baggett, Regional Director of the American Heart Association, answered questions for those who attended. “For a $125 donation, you get a whole day’s worth of education, fashion and passion, as we call it,” said Baggett.

“We have about 300 people signed up now, and ultimately, we would like to sell out, which would be 700 attending,” said Baggett. “We would like everyone on Marco Island to know that the American Heart Association is here, in the community.”

Jenny Ann Oister became involved with the American Heart Association and the Go Red For Women Luncheon to help others lead a long and healthy life. “Heart disease is the number one killer of women,” says Oister.

Heart disease is the number one threat to women, and silences one in three women, according to American Heart Association statistics. This means that one woman, every minute of every day, dies of heart disease, Baggett stated. “It’s an epidemic we are trying to change, just one woman at a time,” she said.

The Luncheon will be the first time the American Heart Association brings this information to Southwest Florida, and much of it will be presented during two breakout sessions.

Celebrate The Luck of The Irish!

2010-03-12T16:01:00.003-05:00

Don't forget St Patrick's Day is Wednesday, March 17th!

St Patrick's Day is celebrated by the Irish and Irish at heart in big and cities and small towns with parades, "wearing green", music and songs, Irish food and drinks, along with fun activities. So why not surprise someone with flowers and make it their "Lucky Day". Visit MarcoIslandFlorist.com for a wide variety of St. Patrick's Day gift ideas.

St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Secretary's Week and Mother's Day are right around the corner!

2008-03-01T15:50:00.003-05:00

So many holidays coming up, and we're ready for each & every one. We're excited to introduce some new offerings, including the Lenox Celebrations Gift Bag, exclusive only to Marco Island Florist, and select shops across the nation. More details coming soon!

On another interesting note, St. Patrick's Day has been changed this year to March 15th, rather than the 17th which it normally falls on every year. It was changed by the Roman Catholic Church to avoid conflict with Holy Monday, which falls on the 17th this year.

Some people are choosing to celebrate St. Patrick's Day on the 17th anyway; however, most are conforming to the official changed date. This is a one time change, though, and will go back to normal (the 17th) next year.

We will be offering our St. Patrick's Day gifts and floral arrangements through the 17th in order to accommodate all preferences.

Be sure to keep checking back for new announcements and more updates as the holidays approach! At Marco Island Florist, we strive to remain "A Name You Can Trust."
