Did You See Lifetime Television This Morning

We all know that sending flowers is a great way to create memories with the gifts we give to our family and friends. In fact last April, I even wrote a newsletter about it for Flower Shop Network called Flower Memories; detailing the wonderful memories I had from the flowers I had received as gifts throughout the years.  Well this morning Lifetime Television explored the issue of sending flowers using a real local florist.

Growing up we had a very close relationship with our local florist and it was easy to send flowers to my family and friends because most of them lived in the same town as I did.  Of course, today my family and friends are scattered across the country and I often turn to the internet to send them things including flowers.  In fact even before I came to FSN as the Plant Expert, I used the Flower Shop Network directory to find a local florist where ever my friends and family lived.  I did this because I knew that Flower Shop Network verified the loaction of the florists in its directory. As a result I have been able to talk to the florist in that town and every flower gift I have sent was a pleasent experience.  However not everyone is aware of the benefits of using a local florist.  So The Balancing Act segment that aired on Lifetime Television this morning should be very helpful to consumers across the nation.  Danielle Knox (The Balancing Act host) asked questions that most people ordering flowers using the interent needed answers to and Brock Atwill (FSN President) gave very helpful tips.

If you didn’t see the segment, I highly recommend watching it.  I actual got a few tips from it my self and the shot of the flower arrangement from Petal Designs made me want to send flowers to someone in Boca Raton Florida.  I loved the color and texture combination that Dan Harvill used in the arrangement.  That alone makes watching the segment worth it.
