Many florists now report experiencing difficulties in receiving timely and complete flower orders from flower farms. The global effect of the pandemic in early 2020 has been felt by many industries. One in particular is the US Floral industry. If you are needing to have Anniversary Flowers in the next few weeks, we recommend that you start planning with a florist as soon as possible. Hoover-Fisher Florist is a great choice if you are in the Kensington MD area. The flower shortage facing all florists is an accumulation of several outside influences.

Hoover-Fisher Florist offers a professional team of floral designers that create stunning flower bouquets. We would be honored and delighted to visit with you for all of your floral needs. Flower Supply Challenges Environmental Changes - Climates in some regions where flowers are grown have changed. In South America, they are reporting colder nights and more rainfall which has negatively affected flower production. Then domestically, many farms are located in California which as we know has been suffering from severe drought conditions. Global Pandemic - We all understand the impact this bad event had worldwide. This 2020 event morphed into effecting many different industries including Wholesale Flower Growers. Many had to shut down farms due to quarantine requirements. This in turn resulted in laying off many workers and destroying tons of flowers. Some farms have not reopened and appear to have gone out of business. Breaking it down further to real numbers, the National Association of Wholesale Distributors reported that there were 5.64 million employed in the US floral industry at the end of December 2020. That equates to 247,717 jobs lost between 2019 and 2020. That is the lowest level of floral industry employment in the past seven years. Then furthering the problem was the reduced number of flowers that were grown. Increased Number of Weddings - There is a huge increase in the number of weddings. Many were postponed due to the Pandemic. The U.S. Wedding Report study reported that in 2021 there were an estimated 1.93 million weddings scheduled. That number for 2022 has climbed to 2.47 million. This increase in the demand for wedding flowers coupled with the supply issues is making the problem worse. Foreign Political Pressures - In many parts of the world there are political unrest matters. This is true in Ecuador which is a major supplier of wholesale flowers. There are many protests that have blocked major transportation routes. Numerous flower farms are unable or finding it difficult to transport their flowers to shippers. Consequently, due to these issues, even though people have gotten back to normal and begun planning events again, there are now fewer flowers and workers to load [...]
Find Perfect Office Décor with Plants from Hoover Fisher Florist
Hoover Fisher Florist has created plant arrangements from low-maintenance succulents to air-purifying house plants to elegant orchids Over the years, it has become very popular and common to find plants and flowers playing a prominent role as part of office décor. That is largely due to owners and managers understanding the benefits of Office Plants and Flowers for employees and customers. Hoover Fisher Florist has a wide selection of Fresh Plants and Flowers that are great for any office environment. Most often, it makes people feel that having plants and flowers in the office is like having a little piece of nature indoors. Most people enjoy nature, and this brings a feeling of peace and serenity to an otherwise hectic and demanding environment. Let's look at a list of the actual benefits many studies have shown are derived from having plants and flowers in the office. Managing Stress - Offices can be stressful with the phones, emails, deadlines and interactions people are tasked with. Introducing some lovely plants and flowers to the workplace can and will help employees contend with the pressure packed environment. Happier and less stressed-out employees can lead to more productivity, satisfied customers and less turnover. In addition, studies have indicated that the fresh scents of certain plants can actually increase the ability to focus. Increased Office Comfort - We spend many hours working in our offices. Basically, many waking hours. Plants can help the physical atmosphere by controlling such things as humidity. Plants have the ability to either add moisture or reduce moisture depending on the variety. Office Appearance - Companies, especially ones that have clients onsite for visits, want to have an attractive office space on display. Plants can make clients and employees feel more welcome when they enter the building. Better Creativity - Depending on the type of the business, certain offices have to have a constant sense of creativity. For example, a marketing company needs people to come up with sales ideas. Studies have shown that plants offer that feeling of being close to nature which in turn can spark more creative thinking. Increased Happiness - Sometimes an emotion like happiness is underrated. Most everyone would prefer to feel happy while they are working hard. Often the presence of plants creates a sense of happiness which changes the mood of the office. In addition, happier employees generally do not leave to join another company. Turnover is expensive. Improved Acoustics - Studies have shown that offices with plants and flowers are less noisy. Plants actually have shown to have the ability to absorb some sound. We all know how distracting excessive noise can be when you are trying to focus on an assignment for talk on the phone with a customer. Lush Garden Gorgeous lush green plants fill this ceramic container. Perfect to have inside a home or office – it’s a great gift for all reasons and seasons, celebration or sympathy, birthday or any day! Hoover Fisher Office Plants and Flowers [...]

How To Make Your Flower Display
The fleeting beauty of flowers is something that makes them all the more special. There’s a sense of temporariness to it all, which makes them truly beautiful at a particular moment. Still, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try and preserve the beauty of floral arrangements any way we can. That said, when do people usually send or give flowers? Check out a list of the most popular occasions below for a few ideas. Birthdays It only takes a little bit of thought and effort to make any birthday a little more special. One sure way to make someone smile on their special day is to give them a bouquet of birthday blooms. These are excellent gifts, especially in combination with other items such as food and keepsakes. Anniversaries Celebrating milestones is a wonderful way of showing appreciation for the past while also looking towards the future. A gift of fresh flowers is an ideal way of cementing and enhancing bonds of love and affection. Elegant and exquisite arrangements work well to commemorate any period of togetherness. Congratulations Achievements and life events are always worth celebrating. Get some flowers to show your loved ones that you are celebrating these moments with them. Graduating, having a new baby, or getting a promotion—these are just some events for which gifting flowers is perfect. Get Well Soon Nothing says ‘get well soon’ like a bouquet to brighten one’s day. A nice set of lively blooms and fresh greens brings cheer to any room. A visually stimulating arrangement is effective in giving encouragement and sparking hope.

Your One Stop Gift Shop
When you think about flower shops, you know you’ll find flowers. However, did you know that florists also offer a range of other items that you can gift your loved ones? Apart from flower arrangements and bouquets, you’ll find a number of other gift options available at your trusted florist. Here are just some of the things you can expect in stock at your favorite local flower shop. Balloons It’s always a treat to receive balloons together with flowers. These may be balloons that come in a variety of shapes and colors, or ones that have appropriate messages printed on them. You can even order a bouquet of balloons to go with your bouquet of flowers. This is a simple yet effective add-on for when you’re celebrating birthdays and milestones. Chocolates They say flowers aren’t practical gifts because you can’t eat them. So why not pair that bouquet with a box of chocolates? Many people really appreciate the gift of food, and candies such as chocolates are perfect options. Flowers and chocolates are an especially good combination when given as gifts in the context of romantic relationships. Food Some florists also stock snacks such as chips and popcorn. There are even some who offer treat baskets. These may include items such as fruits, cheeses, biscuits, and other types of gourmet options. Customers can pick and mix, ordering combinations of their choice. This way, the one you are gifting will have a full tummy on top of a full heart! Flower and food combinations are a great way to show appreciation or to express get-well-soon wishes. They also work incredibly well as a welcoming gift for house guests you’re expecting. Stuffed animals Double down on the cuteness and charm when you combine flowers with stuffed animals. Teddy bears are always great gift choices, but if you would rather go with a different kind of stuffed animal, you may find one of those that takes your fancy. These are great permanent components of your gift. Even when the flowers are gone, your loved one will still have the stuffed animal to remember the occasion. This combo works great as a romantic gift and is ideal for children. As you can see, there are plenty of ways to complement your gift of vibrant greens and colorful flowers. It’s all about mixing and matching options in order to give a gift that’s tailor-fit for the recipient. The main draw will still be the flowers, but why not also have something to complement the shoots and buds. So, any time you feel that flowers alone won’t be enough, grab a trinket at the florist’s gift shop. All of the gift options you’ll find at flower shops are perfect complements to flowers. Regardless of which ones you pick, rest assured that they will bring a smile to your loved one’s face. Remember, many of these ideas are also fully customizable to fit the occasion or event.
