As our nation continues to face this unprecedented health crisis, connecting with family and friends through the beauty of flowers has perhaps never been more important. This was underscored during the Mother’s Day holiday as BloomNet®, 1-800-Flowers.com® and our incredibly talented family of professional florists delivered approximately 21 million stems to customers. Thank you for your passion and commitment to excellence in helping to make this a successful Mother’s Day.
As we remain dedicated to supporting our BloomNet Professional Florists, working with you through these difficult times, we wanted to provide you with new quick links to our resources, as a follow-up to the communications you’ve been receiving over the past month.
