Best Summer Plants for Any Home or Garden

Summer fun is all about soaking in the sun, and we want to give the spotlight to our favorite sun-loving plants! While the season is popular for backyard pool parties and beach trips, we want to make sure we’re accompanied by some greens to freshen up any indoor or outdoor space. Check out our list of the absolute best summer plants to have in your home or garden!   Lavender It definitely goes without saying that lavender is probably one of the most wonderfully fragrant additions anyone can have in their indoor or outdoor space. Not only are they quite the beauties, you can find yourself making some good use of these plants as well! Lamb’s Ear They may not seem like it at first, but lamb’s ear plants are actually big ol’ softies – literally! They make perfect summer plants not just because they absolutely love soaking in the sun but because they can tolerate almost any climate, including dry spells.

Giving Back and Making Moms Smile

Our Bouqs fam is all about community, and this Mother’s Day, we took this to heart while sharing the #bouqlove. We first partnered with the Brooklyn Mayor’s Office to celebrate some of the mothers in their local senior centers with a special flower giveaway. The partnership, Operation Rose: The Senior Edition, launched over three days. On each day, each designated center handed out single roses and brought smiles to scores of senior mothers across central Brooklyn! Day 1 was celebrated at St. Gabriel’s Senior Center; Day 2 at Van Dyke II Senior Center; and Day 3 at Crown Heights Center for Nursing & Rehab. Here are some of the heartwarming photos we received: Next, we decided to share some local #bouqlove with the Downtown Women’s Center (DWC), an organization located on Skid Row in Downtown LA focused on serving and empowering women experiencing homelessness. DWC provides women with a safe place — offering a hot meal, a hot shower, employment and wellness services, permanent housing, and more. We assembled more than 300 toiletry kits for women coming in to take a hot shower at DWC. We went to DTLA to deliver the kits, and took along some flowers for the […]

#momFTW: The not-so-shining moments our moms had to deal with

Good kids all over the world usually have one person they want to impress above everyone else: their moms. Mom’s disappointment is a tough thing to deal with, but when we’re growing up it’s almost impossible to avoid the awkward moments and slip-ups that our moms have to witness. Our favorite way to say ‘thanks for putting up with me’ is by sending mom a fresh Bouq this Mother’s Day. To prove that our moms are our true heroes, we asked our #Bouqsfam to share the crazy moments that they put their moms through when they were growing up. Get ready to laugh, cry, cringe, or all of the above. Let’s start out with the more innocent stories that we gathered from our fam: “I was actually a pretty well-behaved child. My brother and sister are the ones that put my mom through the crazy stuff.” “When I was younger…I went through a neat freak phase where I would refuse to sit on anything that looked dirty, including when we were invited over to friends houses. Totally embarrassed my mom.” “She had to deal with my Myspace scene girl phase.” And now for the moments that deserve extra flowers and […]
