Ten years ago, Colleen Paige began promoting National Puppy Day as a way to encourage people to adopt puppies (and older dogs) from shelters instead of purchasing them from for-profit breeders. Citing the overpopulation problem in the United States, and the sheer number of dogs being surrendered to rescue shelters, Ms. Paige began the grassroots effort which became a social media phenomenon and is recognized worldwide.
Did You Know? The numbers are staggering. Each year, nearly 4 million dogs are surrendered to shelters, and only 35% of them will ever be rehomed. Sadly, approximately 1.4 million of those dogs will be euthanized. Even with so many "unwanted" animals, there are 70,000 new puppies born annually. Read More about Finding Puppies a Forever Home »

When Carl Rittner started his floral design school in Boston, his vision was to prepare industry professionals, by training them the artistic discipline of arranging flowers. Utilizing the classic elements of any good design, he taught generations of students how to create and style floral arrangements that were true works of art. Considered by most to be a pioneer and important visionary, Floral Design Day was established in his honor. Across the country, floral artistry is celebrated by the thousands of professionals who benefit from the legacy of Rittner's dream. Read More about Floral Artistry and Design »

In the late 1990's, a movement of kindness was birthed. Although there is some discrepancy as to where the inspiration for Random Acts of Kindness Day came from - some say a group in Denver, others a young man in New Zealand - the end result is a cultural phenomenon. February 17th is officially set aside as the day to celebrate the many ways we can make the world a little better and a little kinder, millions of people have adopted the concept as a way of life year round. Just imagine if everyone decided to participate in this day of compassion and generosity, what an impact could be made! Rose Hill Flowers has the opportunity to take part in acts of kindness every day - and we would love to help you to make this year's celebration meaningful and fun!
“Be the reason someone smiles. Be the reason someone feels loved and believes in the goodness in people.” Roy T, Bennett Read More about Random Acts to Inspire Kindness »

You may think the reason is because February is the most romantic month of the year, thanks to Valentine's Day, but that is not the reason either. In order to truly understand why February is National Wedding Month, we need to look back a couple of months into December. Read More about Your Nashville Wedding Planning Begins Here »
