As February gives way to March, cold winter weather continues in many U.S. states. Most people are starting to get a little cabin fever, anticipating the first day of spring in a few weeks and anxious for more sun and warmer temperatures. Morale in the workplace can start to flag, causing productivity to drop. That’s what makes Employee Appreciation Day the perfect time to lift their spirits.

Employee Appreciation Day falls on the first Friday of every March, and it’s the ideal opportunity to let your staff know how valued they are. Flowers are nature’s best way to show you care, and sending flowers for Employee Appreciation Day will make them feel truly special. It’s also a great way to boost morale around the office and help everyone through that final stretch of winter. Here are some beautiful flower gift ideas to consider:

Spring Flowers

Spring Tulips

Tulips have always been symbolic of spring, as one of the first flowers to poke through the ground after a long winter. Sending them tulips can remind them that spring is just around the corner, bringing warmer weather and even more blooming flowers to behold. Tulips come in a literal rainbow of colors, so there’s something for every taste and style. Tulips also blend well with other spring flowers such as daffodils, daisies, snapdragons and lilies.

“Just Because” and “Congratulations” Bouquets

A “Just Because” or “Congratulations” bouquet exudes a playful spirit and can come in a variety of configurations. From carnations and lilies to daisies and roses, this style of bouquet offers unexpected flower combinations in bright, vibrant colors. If you’re not sure what to send, the “Just Because” bouquet can take the guesswork out of the selection process for you, and a “Congratulations” bouquet is sure to make them smile.

Flowering Plants 

Phaleonopis Orchid

For a gift that will remind them they are appreciated, consider giving a green flowering plant. Flowering plants look great in any workspace and are the perfect addition to a desk or even the break room. Flowering plants exude positive energy with their colorful blooms and can even help to improve the air quality around the office. Orchids, lilies, African violets, or a mixed garden can all make for the perfect gift that lasts.

Employee Appreciation Day only comes around once a year, so take this opportunity to let your employees know you care. Contact Walter Knoll Florist for more information or to place your order.
