Staff Favorites: Jeff and George

-


Today we are highlighting more MMF staff favorites. This time from Jeff and George!


Jeff has been with MMF for over 6 years, as our highly talented in-house graphic designer and a driver and event's setup person. 


Jeff's first choice was a lady slipper orchid. Orchids are easy to care for, will re-bloom throughout the year and a gift that gives long lasting beauty. 


Jeff must really like plants! His second choice was a succulent and he said he especially is captivated by the succulent's flowers that appear after a few months of proper care. We offer a chic and modern succulent garden that would make the perfect gift for a man or woman,



Apparently everyone loves stuffed animals, including this adorable owl that is a new item in the shop. Be sure to give us a call if you are interested in one of these more unique plush friends, what is displayed on the website is only a small selection.


Our driver George also gravitated toward the plants showing off some of the new air plants we just got in. Air plants are very original, being they get their water mostly from the air, and make beautiful terrariums such as in our Air Plant Eco Terrarium.



I think I'm noticing a pattern between men and plants! George's second choice was a Lucky Money Tree; one of our most popular plants, they practically take care of themselves and are thought to balance the Feng Shui in the room they are placed.


This Dad's Rootbeer Mug is a fun gift that can include a whimsical floral arrangment sure to make any Dad smile.

That's the staff pick's for today! If you haven't ordered your Valentine's flowers and gifts yet, shop now! :)

It's amazing what you can do with 12 carnations and a little bit of creativity. Our Floral Designer Rocio loves making puppy arrangements so here she shares her tips with you! Here's what you will need ~ 12 full size carnations, floral glue, floral tape, a floral container, 1/3 of a block of floral foam and some assorted greenery.  First take your wet floral foam and tape it securely into your floral container.  Slowly start adding the 12 carnations starting with the top to form the head, the ears, the face and the 2 front legs.   Keep going, adding carnations but only using 12 total!  Now he has his 2 front legs, sitting over the edge of the container.  Using the floral glue, add the eyes and the nose. Be creative here. We use eyes and noses for the floral industry but you can use felt, screws or even a pip cleaner to form these facial features.   Next, start filling in with assorted greenery and mosses. This will become his little bed!  Be sure to f

Never heard of a Grave Blanket? Don't worry, your probably aren't alone. Here in the north east is customary to have a lovely "blanket" made from ever greens and winter accents to be placed on the grave of a loved one.  It's just a nice remembrance during the holiday season to make the graveside look a bit more decorated and festive.  According to Ask.com   "A  Grave blankets are a type of flower design that is used to decorate graves. They are made in a variety of sizes and styles, for example, standard, cascading, traditional, and double wide. Each of these styles has a specific design and flower capacity . I chucked when I read that because we make all of our Grave Blankets custom for each customer and no two ever look exactly the same. The folks who order them from us are looking for something lush and beautiful with many holiday and winter accents like this one that has golden lotus pods, ilex winter berry, glittered pine cones, red velvet rib
