As Stress Awareness Month and Passover coincide, it's the perfect time to explore the calming and symbolic power of flowers. Whether you're looking to reduce stress or add a touch of beauty to your Passover celebration, flowers can play a significant role in enhancing your well-being and spiritual connection. Spring flowers like tulips and hyacinths in yellows, pinks and purples really bring the spring season to any occasion.

Research has shown that the presence of flowers can have a positive impact on reducing stress and anxiety levels. The colors, scents, and natural beauty of flowers can help create a sense of calm and relaxation in any environment.

Lavender, chamomile, and jasmine are known for their calming properties and are often used in aromatherapy to promote relaxation. Incorporating these flowers (or their oils) into your home or workspace can help create a soothing atmosphere and reduce stress levels.

Most flower shops do not carry jasmine, chamomile or lavender cut flowers or plants. Garden centers are better resource for these beauties.

Flowers have long been a symbol of renewal and new beginnings, making them a perfect addition to your Passover table. Incorporating fresh spring flowers into your Passover decorations can add a touch of beauty and elegance to your celebration, while also symbolizing the hope, joy and enduring freedom of the holiday.

Common colors are blue (hydrangea, delphiniums or iris), white (roses or lilies), yellow (lilies, roses or daffodils), and due to the celebratory nature of the holiday, bold bright colors are also acceptable. If interested in daffodils, please call ahead. They have a short window of availability.
