Say thanks to your volunteers this month

April is National Volunteer Appreciation Month, so it’s a great time to say thank you. Volunteers make a difference in schools, churches, businesses, nonprofits, communities, and many other places. It’s hard to imagine a world without volunteers!

Here are some tips for thanking your volunteers.

Flower spotlight: carnations

Carnations are an extremely versatile flower when it comes to flower arrangements. Available in a wide variety of colors, they’re a great base flower that can add fullness to any arrangement without adding a lot of cost.

 

The history of carnations and how they got their name has been long debated, and there’s really no clear answer. Some say the name comes from the Latin word carnis, which means flesh, because the original varieties of carnations were pink in color. Others say the name comes from coronation because the flowers were often used in Greek flower crowns.

 

Send well wishes with a fruit or gift basket

There are lots of great options beyond flowers when you want to send well wishes. Sure, we love flowers, but sometimes you’re sending to someone with allergies or you just want something a little different. Here are a few alternate gift options to consider for delivery or pickup.

 

Fruit baskets
