Today, a very high value is placed on convenience. We have a lot to do every single day and products or services that make our lives run a little smoother are increasingly more common. As the cold months approach, flower delivery in NYC is beginni
ng to look more and more enticing as the degrees drop lower & lower. For corporate office workers, enjoy the luxury of weekly flower delivery during NYC winter months
Cold Outside, Warmth Inside with Weekly Flower Delivery in NYC
For many of us, as lunchtime approaches we make our way outside to eat in a nearby park or sitting area. The fresh air & beauty of nature is refreshing and helps us break up the redundancy of an 8 hour (or more) work day at a computer. As winter comes closer, the desire to sit outside in that setting doesn’t fade, but the reality of sitting in the wet, cold is not something many of us are willing to suffer through.

June 25th, 2012 by Georgeann As summer rolls in with its heavy humidity and heat, all you can think about is hitting the water and perhaps grabbing a piňa colada.

The summer heat takes its toll on plants as well, so make sure you are giving your outdoor plants a good drink daily during the summer heat. Here’s how:

Too much dreary grayness puts me in a HORRIBLE PLACE. I hate my apartment. My laundry won’t dry. The store is damp and cold. All the outdoor landscapes and plants I see look verdantly green – but waterlogged and droopy – the spring flowers look like they are drowning. Enough with the cold and rain already! Let’s get spring and summer going again!
Georgeann’s Outdoor Landscape Design – IN PROGRESS
In an effort to squeeze the raindrops out of my mind, I want to update you on my own efforts to commit to a gorgeous garden in 2012. In March, I created a “to do” list of actions to enhance and improve my own small outdoor space. [Read more →]

This has been a weird winter. When we should have been shivering in December, we were holiday shopping in flip flops and spring jackets instead. Nature finally ran its course – the leaves managed to fall off the trees, and the planters and wi
ndow boxes around town have faded to drab, dusty arrangements of leaves and sticks. But now that it’s warm and balmy, wouldn’t you rather see fuzzy green buds on the trees and daffodils shooting up all over? Many of our corporate clients do, and I can’t wait either!
Pansies Help Welcome Springtime in February
One of my clients could not wait for spring flowers, so we took a chance and planted a vibrant rainbow of pansies in her front outdoor planter a few weeks ago to combat the lingering grayness of late winter.

There are certain standard go-to plants that florists and interior designers depend on for simple, clean lines, bold green foliage, and easy no-nonsense maintenance. Corn Plants, Dracaena Marginatas, Snake Plants, Pothos, and Janet Craigs are wonderful, low-maintenance indoor plants that are generous and patient with humans and tolerate the confinement of our stuffy corporate offices and studio apartments.
Sometimes, however, you need a little drama to make your life more exciting. I’ve come across four exciting plants in the past few days that I love, and that don’t always come to mind for New York florists. Try incorporating these green goddesses into your corporate offices and apartments for a little extra flair!

the chrysanthemum bud
-Basho
Every autumn, my husband notes that the fastest time of year is the time between Labor Day and Halloween. One day you are sitting in your shorts eating barbequed chicken, and the next school is starting, the nights grow colder, the heat goes on in the building, Christmas decorations go up next to the Halloween candy at the store, and you still haven’t taken your winter clothes down from storage!
To help slow down time and focus on the beautiful but fleeting autumn season, I thought I’d talk about our favorite blossom for fall floral arrangements: the chrysanthemum! [Read more →]
September 22nd, 2011 by Georgeann My friend Lisa is an amazingly creative and fun human being. As an actress, she spent the summer in the Finger Lakes singing and dancing as Sally Bowles in “Cabaret.” I know she is an accomplished painter, and also has been a professional muralist; s
he dresses cool and knows all about make-up; and she smiles 96% of the time. What I DIDN’T know is that Lisa has an almost supernaturally green thumb.
Last time I visited Lisa was something like 8 years ago, and my memory was of a sparse and open space. Imagine my pleasant surprise on a recent visit when I walked into a plant-filled urban gardening oasis in NYC! Beautifully displayed green, glossy plants did wonders to make the apartment feel cozy, cool and inviting. I got her to share some of her plant care advice with me:
Choose Gorgeous, Low-Maintenance Indoor Plants
Zamioculcas zamifoia: Lisa’s beautiful “ZZ plant” is a good choice, because these plants are good-looking, have a unique shape, and are very easy to maintain. Plant care is a cinch: they don’t require much water and are broad-spectrum plants that can tolerate direct sun or shade.

August 24th, 2011 by Georgeann I love New York, and my job at Big Apple Florist gives me the opportunity to explore every corner of this beautiful city. There are so many great interior design ideas I’ve found while on my way to floral design and plant maintenance appointments around the city. What I’ve learned: you can discover ideas for interior design even when you’re outside.
Look Outside For Great Interior Design Ideas
Last week on a visit to 35th Street and Broadway for an NYC plant maintenance appointment, I snapped these photos of a gorgeous outdoor tropical paradise created by the 34th Street Partnership.

August 5th, 2011 by Georgeann One aspect of my job is to visit offices around New York City and troubleshoot indoor office plant problems. I’ve noticed a singular phenomenon among many office-workers: an absolute obsession with the
wellbeing of their plants! I was talking with a customer who forgot to water her office plants over the weekend. One of them looked very sad. “I sat at my desk all day Friday and drank a gallon of water, and could I remember to give that little plant one tiny cup? NO!” she said.
Lesson learned: in an office, the plants are precious babies. Unfortunately, sometimes too much love can literally drown a plant. [Read more →]
A blog post about blogs…yes – it’s happening. We here at Big Apple Florist try to stay updated on current trends and happenings.

The Internet allows enthusiasts of all types to share their knowledge and excitement with the world, so we thought we would share a few of our favorite Internet hotspots for floral design ideas, plant maintenance and generally getting stuff done with you!
