Today We Officially Welcome Spring

Why We Love Spring At Allen’s Flower Market

Today marks the official first day of Spring in 2024. As Spring arrives and the world bursts with new life, it’s the perfect time to shake off the winter blues and embrace the energy of renewal. Whether you’re a nature lover or simply looking to make the most of the changing season, here are some lovely ways to enjoy the spring equinox:

1. Get outside. Take advantage of the longer days and warmer weather by spending time outdoors. Go for a walk in your neighborhood, visit a local park, or plan a weekend hike in nature. Fresh air and sunshine can do wonders for your mood and energy levels.
   
2. Start a garden. You don’t need a green thumb to enjoy gardening! Start small with a few potted plants or herbs on your balcony or windowsill. Take it from us - not only is gardening a great way to connect with nature, but it’s also a rewarding way to watch something grow and thrive. 
   
3. Enjoy some good old-fashioned spring cleaning. Use the turn of the season as a reason to declutter and freshen up your living space. Set aside a weekend to tackle those household tasks you’ve been putting off, like organizing closets, deep cleaning, and donating items you no longer need. 
   
4. Cook up some fresh food. Spring brings an abundance of fresh produce, so why not experiment with some new recipes? Visit your local farmer’s market or grocery store and pick up some seasonal fruits and vegetables to incorporate into your meals. Fresh salads, smoothies, and grilled veggies are perfect for enjoying the flavors of Spring.
   
5. Socialize al fresco. Take advantage of the warmer weather by planning outdoor activities with friends and family. Organize a picnic in the park, go for a group bike ride, or have a barbecue in your backyard. 
   
6. Set spring intentions. Spring has a palpable feeling of renewal – so ride the wave! Take some time to reflect on what you want to accomplish this Spring and set some goals for yourself. Whether it’s starting a new hobby, learning a new skill, or tackling a home improvement project, having clear goals can help you enjoy Spring’s gifts more fully.
   
7. Bring more flowers into your home. At Allen’s Flower Market, we love Spring because it means an endless supply of beautiful blooms. There has never been a better time to fill your home with gorgeous flowers.

There are so many fun cultural occasions that accompany the turn of the seasons and the arrival of Spring – Mother’s Day, Passover, Easter, and the beginning of summer vacations are all coming up before you know it. A time of abundance, Spring is associated with awakenings and fresh starts. Spring equinox is also sometimes called the “Vernal” Equinox – meaning new, green, and fresh. What better time to bring some energizing flowers into your life?

Invite the blossoming outdoors into your home this Spring with a fresh, aromatic floral bouquet. Draw on every color in the rainbow with our stunning Heaven Scent arrangement, which stands nearly two feet tall and features gorgeous lilies, roses, hydrangeas, and more in a spectrum of fabulous pinks, purples, greens, and red. Or, for a more playful bouquet that speaks to long days in the sun and a romantic atmosphere, check out Sunflower Sensation. Tulips love Spring most of all – and we combine a stunning multi-colored array of them in our Totally Tulips bouquet. Embrace the feminine energy of the Spring season with the soft pink and white hues of our Tropical Paradise arrangement, where pink tulips, roses, and hydrangea are softly arranged alongside orchids and greenery.
