Education Corner: Taking Care of your Shamrock

This month in Education Corner, our designers wanted to give you a few of our favourite tips on how to care for our feature Plant of the Month, the Shamrock.

Tip 1: Lighting is Key. When caring for your Shamrock plant, it’s important to keep it in a bright (but indirect) lighted area. Additionally, if you plan to keep in near a window Shamrocks, light most plants, tend to thrive in east-facing windows.

Tip 2: Keeping your Shamrock hydrated. When watering your Shamrock, it’s best to water it from the bottom. To do this, remember to keep the plant in the plastic growing pot that it comes in and sit the pot in roughly an inch of water for a few minutes to let the shamrock absorb the water. Also, avoid over-watering your Shamrock remember to allow the top 2” of the soil to dry out completely before watering it again.

Tip 3: Temperature. You don’t need to turn up the heat for this plant. Shamrocks live their best lives when the temperature is about 60 to 70 degrees during the day and 55 to 65 degrees during the night.

Welcome to the Team!

This month, we are excited to introduce to you a new member of the Kelly’s Flowers team, Lisa!

Lisa is born and raised in Lanark, where she still currently lives with her family. Lisa attended the Floral Design Program at Algonquin College the year after Krista, and they’ve known each other their entire lives. In her off time, she can be found hunting, fishing or cozying up with a good book.

Lisa joined us right before one of our busiest days of the year, Valentine’s Day. And Krista is ecstatic to bring another redhead to the team! That makes 3 plus 1 honorary (Megan dyes her hair red almost yearly to join the squad). We’re thrilled to welcome Lisa to the Kelly’s Team and can’t wait for you to all meet her.

A Brief History about Valentine’s Day

by

The celebration of Valentines Day on February 14th is one of the most widely observed, unofficial holidays. However, where did the celebration of Valentine’s Day come from?

There are several theories that attempt to explain the origins of Valentine’s Day.

Some trace the origin of the holiday to Lupercalia, as an ancient Roman festival and feast connected with fertility rites which would be held on February 15th.

Another theory relates to an old English legend that says that birds choose their mates on February 14th.

Others, connect the event with one or more of the Saints in the early Christian Church; one of which is Saint Valentine. According to legend, he was imprisoned because he refused to worship the Gods of the Romans. He had made friends with many children in the area, who missed their friend and expressed their love by tossing notes through the bars of his cell window.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
Krista, Sharon, Jessica, Candice, Megan & Nathalie
