Memorial Day

A New Leaf Floral in Canby provides a Memorial Day service to local cemeteries. There is a variety of options when placing something special at a monument. We do monument saddles/toppers, planters, fresh flowers, and silk flowers. If requested, we will deliver and pick up your memorial item for you. This is especially helpful when family members are out of the area. We will even store, replace, and/or repair your memorial item for you if you have a memorial silk piece. Over time the sun and weather will make your memorial item less attractive, and occasionally replacing or repairing needs to be done to your memorial item to keep it looking nice. Once you begin this service with us, you will be sent a reminder postcard every year in early May asking you if you would like to continue this service. A New Leaf Floral currently services almost 60 monuments with a wide variety of items. A New Leaf Floral can do it from start to finish. We can create your memorial item, deliver it, pick it up, store it, and replace and/or repair it, and we will even send you a reminder the next year. We currently service Canby, Minneota, and other local cemeteries. Please contact us for delivery charges and service areas.

 

Greenhouse Plants

Spring has officially arrived at A New Leaf Floral! Our greenhouse is being kept off-site this year because of our brand new parking lot, but don’t worry we will have our usual selection of beautiful greenhouse plants behind our flower shop. This year all the plants will be outside on carts, so it will be easier shopping! No hot greenhouse to enter. We will also have a nice selection of potted plants out back on our patio. Our potted blooming and green plants make for a great gift! If you are interested in our Memorial Day delivery service please ask. More information on that coming soon!

Greenhouse

Greenhouse plants at A New Leaf Floral will hopefully be coming the week of April 23rd. We are waiting for the weather to warm up, so that our greenhouse plants will have the best chance to thrive. We will have a good selection of plants, and we will have new hanging baskets this year. Our hanging baskets will include several types of plants in each basket, and should be very beautiful with all the colors. It’s never too early to start thinking about Mother’s Day and Memorial Day. We have a special Memorial Day service, and information on that service will be available on the website when we get into the month of May. Think Spring and warm temperatures!

Rose Petals Help The Feet

The next time your husband gets you roses from A New Leaf Floral in Canby you can do something with those leftover rose petals. After the roses have lost their luster take the rose petals (six roses or more works best), and put them in your hand and crush them. After you have crushed them, drop them into a bowl of warm water and soak your feet for 10 minutes. When you crush the rose petals it releases oils that are in the petals, which helps soften rough skin on your heels. We always have a good supply of roses at the flower shop in Canby.
