“By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he’s wrong.”
-Charles Wadsworth
Fathers often have the grand responsibility of raising up children who were just like him when he was young. This can be a daunting and sometimes frustrating task, so the encouragement fathers receive from their loved ones during this journey is truly appreciated. This Father’s Day, June 17th, think about blessing all the fathers in your life with handwritten cards, lunch at his favorite haunt or a beautiful piece of foliage that reminds him how much he’s loved. The design artists at Bice’s Florist are eager to help you create the perfect gift for your dad this Father’s Day. Read More about Make It A Fun Father’s Day »

Summer is not only a time for long, warm days or playing outside and enjoying the sunshine. We also celebrate all manner of occasions, from birthdays and national holidays to moms, dads, and graduations during summer months. Of all the flowers to represent the versatility of summer, the sunflower is the most obvious choice. Historically, these hearty plants were one of the first crops planted in North America. Harvested for their seeds, Native American tribes in the Southwest United States and Mexico discovered ways to grind the seeds into flour, while other parts of the plant were used for medicine or to dye clothing. Today at Bice’s Florist, we rely on these sun worshippers to help us usher in the summer season. Read More about Early Summer’s Heavenly Sunflowers »

Graduation for our high school seniors is just around the corner, and along with prom, parties, awards ceremonies and other end of the school year events, it's certainly a momentous occasion worthy of our admiration. Bice's Florist congratulates all of our local graduates, and we haven't forgotten that many of them deserve flowers---lots and lots of flowers. It's customary to adorn ourselves with corsages and boutonnieres for prom, and it's just as traditional to offer a bouquet to the graduates we know and love.

May 6 through May 12 sees us celebrating not one but two types of empowered and empowering women: teachers and nurses. Appreciation week is the perfect time to honor these super ladies with something that is as full of strength and beauty as they are, Bice's Florist thinks.
And we know, we know. There are plenty of men who deserve our appreciation this week, too. But these fields are overwhelmingly dominated by women---women who are mentors and mamas, sisters, cousins, friends, neighbors, colleagues and allies. Read More about All The Super Ladies »
