MidAtlantic Florists Association-Bergerons Participates

This weekend Bergerons will be participating in the Middle Atlantic Florists Association (MAFA) Annual Convention. Representing Maryland, District of Columbia, West Virginia, parts of Delaware, and Virginia, MAFA provides education to florists in the industry.

I will be leading a demonstration on photography for websites as well as performing my duties at Vice President. It's always exciting to see and hear all that is going on in this fabulous industry. Dedication to education is key to surviving and thriving in today's economic climate.

Teleflora is sponsoring internationally known designer, John Hosek AIFD, CAFA,  MCF as he shows us his designs for The Eco-Party. Some of his designs were featured earlier this year in the international floral magazine, Fusion Flowers.

I hope to have some photos from the event, maybe even a video....we'll see.
Cheers everyone!

Announcing "Giving in Bloom"

Bergerons is proud to announce the newest category on our website, "Giving in Bloom"!

In order to understand what this category is, we need to introduce the charitable organization that we have chosen to give to~ Jill's House. This organization is dedicated to providing care and support to special needs children and their families through overnight respite and therapy programs. We believe that these children and families are in need of this type of help.

Each season, Bergerons will design a special arrangement that will be featured in this section. When our customers chose this arrangement, 20% of this price will be donated to Jill's House. So, how exciting is it that those customer who choose to give flowers, will also be giving to such a worthy cause. So, go on now to the Giving in Bloom category on the website and see our seasonal pick for August-September.

Greg (my husband) and I have been looking for ways to give back and we think that Jill's House is the perfect opportunity. The House is set to open in the Fall and we look forward to providing them flowers weekly to greet the families that come through their doors. We know how much flowers brighten the spirits of those who are around them. It seems like the perfect way to add to their time at Jill's House.

Join us in this great way to give back~
Thanks for the opportunity!
