Details
Today, York Flowers is joining dozens of floral industry
businesses nationwide to surprise unsuspecting passersby in Friendship Heights with two free
flower bouquets each — one to keep and one to give to a friend, family member, colleague, or
even a stranger. The random-acts-of-kindness effort — called Petal It Forward and organized by
the Society of American Florists (SAF), of which York Flowers is a member — is designed to help
people start their day with more smiles and less stress. The effort illustrates research from the
University of North Florida (UNF) that shows living with flowers reduces stress.
