What to know about sending flowers to a school

Schools often have policies regarding delivered gifts. Most florists are aware of their local school policies and can give you advice on the best way to send flowers to your child. If your school does not allow delivered gifts, you could have it waiting for them when they get home from school, or set the flowers up the night before so they wake up to a beautiful surprise.

The most important thing to remember when sending flowers is to always always always use a real local florist. Not only will they know all about your school’s gifting policies, they will be able to help you choose the perfect arrangement for your kiddo!
