While we have come to celebrate Father’s Day every third Sunday June, many do not realize that it was inaugurated in the early 20^th century to complement Mother’s Day, the holiday from which it has derived.

Our Hot Off the Grill floral design, perfect for Father’s Day!

Father’s Day has been speculated to have started in 1910 in Spokane, Washington by Sonora Smart Dodd – the daughter of a Civil War veteran who raised her and her five siblings as a single parent after their mother died in childbirth. Dodd heard a sermon in church about Mother’s Day, then decided that fathers should have a similar day where they are rightfully recognized. With the help of the local YMCA, she campaigned for the event and the supposed “first Father’s Day” was celebrated in Spokane. Other American towns and cities later followed the celebration, though it is argued that Father’s Day originated from another source. Grace Golden Claymont of Fairmont, West Virginia was said to have suggested a day to celebrate fatherhood in 1908 after a mine explosion in a neighboring town killed 360 men. She contended that the children in the town needed a day set aside to remember their fathers.

It was not until a few decades later that the holiday was officially recognized by an American president; in 1962, Lyndon B. Johnson put the day on the country’s official calendar, and in 1972, President Nixon made it a permanent national holiday. Today, Americans recognize the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day, and many look for gifts and ways to set aside time to spend with Dad.

Gardening tools and equipment are available in the greenhouse!

While some of the top sellers for Father’s Day include ties, DIY tools, and electronic equipment, look for something unexpected and sweet, like the gift of flowers, plants, and gourmet baskets. Let Radebaugh’s help you with your Father’s Day gifts!  Indoor green plants like peace lilies and succulent gardens are perfect companions for an office or at-home work space, and they help clean the air. For flowers, our special Ford Pickup Bouquet includes a colorful array of flowers in a classic blue 1948 Ford F-1, and the Weber Hot off the Grill design is a special display of flowers arranged in a cute miniature grill container, perfect for the guy who likes to barbecue!

Other gift ideas cater to fans of local teams; we have Ravens and Orioles-themed floral pieces like The Baltimore Ravens Tailgating Tin and the Orioles Magic Bouquet. We even have special Baltimore sports-based snack buckets like the Ravens Party Bucket, filled with candy bars, nuts, and other sweet and salty items along with the Orioles Bases Loaded Party Bucket, topped with root beer, peanuts, and other ballpark treats.

During the last full week of April, American offices and businesses recognize Administrative Professional’s Week, with a special Administrative Professional’s Day celebrated that Wednesday. While it is not a public American holiday, it is regarded as a national observance where workplaces acknowledge the contributions of their administrative professionals, which may include but are not limited to: secretaries, receptionists, assistants, and other employees and staff that comprise administrative personnel. Various countries all around the world acknowledge the holiday and hold annual recognitions for offices and their employees.

The Office Orchids design is a sweet reminder of thanks for employees at work.

Its origins tie back to WWII, when there was a need for skilled administrative staff due to a boom in American post-war business. In 1942, the National Secretaries Association was founded, recognizing the work of administrative personnel and their contributions to the economy while simultaneously attracting potential workers in the administrative fields. A couple significant people involved in the creation of Administrative Professional’s Day and Week include Mary Barrett, a former president of the association, now called the International Association of Administrative Professionals, C. King Woodbridge, the president of Dictaphone Corporation, and Harry F. Klemfuss, a public relations account executive at Young & Rubicam.

Desktop Daisy adds sunshine to any desk!

In 1952, the U.S. Secretary of Commerce, Charles Sawyer, proclaimed the first observance of National Secretary’s Week that June 1^st through 7^th, and a specific National Secretary’s Day was set to be celebrated that Wednesday. Three years later, the celebration was moved back to the last full week of April, and it wasn’t until 2000 when the holiday’s name was changed to Administrative Professional’s Week/Day. The name change encompasses the many responsibilities and diverse job titles of various administrative staff in workplaces. Today, much of that work is recognized, and companies and businesses set aside time during Administrative Professionals Day – or even during the week – to appreciate their employees in administrative positions.

If you are an office, business, or workplace looking to showcase your appreciation for your administrative staff, visit our Administrative Professional’s Day page on our website for great flower and plant ideas. From beautiful bouquets, plants employees can take home, or simple but sweet desktop flower designs, give us a call and let Radebaughs help you show your workers the value they deserve this Administrative Professionals Week.

Spring represents a season of renewal and rebirth, where new life is celebrated and the cycle of growth begins.

Radiant daisies – including colorful gerbera daisies – are a favorite with our customers. Bred for their color and shape, their flower can size between 2-5 inches across.

Did you know that St. Patrick – the patron saint of Ireland – was not Irish? He was actually born in late 4^th century Britain, which was under the Roman Empire at the time. Raised in a Christian family, he was kidnapped and brought to Ireland at the age of 16, and although he escaped and went back home to become a priest, he returned to Ireland and brought Christianity to its people. St. Patrick died on March 17^th A.D. 461, but it wasn’t until the 9^th or 10^th century that people in Ireland began observing the date as a Roman Catholic feast Day.

Spuds O’Brien, a St. Patty’s Day Radebaugh classic!

Mythology surrounding St. Patrick’s life became more prevalent, and one of the most well-known legends involves St. Patrick relating the Holy Trinity to the three leaves of Ireland’s native clover, the shamrock, which – along with the color green – has come to symbolize St. Patrick’s Day. Later in time, prohibitions on eating meat, drinking, dancing, and other activities during the season of Lent were lifted for the holiday, allowing a break where people could celebrate.

Festivals in America – like the parades in Boston in 1737 and New York in 1762 – helped popularize St. Patrick’s Day, and when the Irish Potato Famine of 1845 drove many Irish Catholics to America, the holiday spread even more, making it the great celebration that it represents today. Even in Chicago, the river is dyed green a few days before St. Patrick’s Day, and Irish parades and festivals still take place across America around this time in March.

Squeeze a wee bit of Irish green with flowers!

It is almost unheard of to celebrate Valentine’s Day without flowers, and roses are practically synonymous with the holiday, but why exactly do we associate Valentine’s Day with roses and other beautiful flowers?

Roses, the ultimate flowers for your Valentine!

According to ancient Greek mythology, when the goddess of love and beauty –Aphrodite – was born from the sea, white roses sprang forth on the edge of the shore. A later tale involves Aphrodite pining after her lover, whose blood mixes with her tears and stains a nearby bush of roses, changing them from white to red. As a result, the red rose has come to symbolize passion and romantic love.

Giving someone flowers because you love them started long ago. Over the years, flowers have become their own language, exemplifying more than love. Communication was – and still is – possible with a simple exchange of flowers. A bouquet of purple hyacinth represents a deep feeling of sadness and a desire for forgiveness. A daisy exemplifies loyal love, purity, and innocence. And even though color can play into association, carnations in general symbolize a woman’s love. Different legends and stories have given different flowers specific meanings. Sending a friend, family member, or loved one flowers has become a method of conveying emotion, a communication of its own creation.

Today, roses are purchased across the nation on February 14^th to showcase love and adoration for that special someone. According to Bankrate, around 198 million roses were produced in 2016 for Valentine’s Day alone.

Carnations come in all sorts of colors, and they last long!

With Valentine’s Day approaching, don’t wait until the last minute to find the perfect gift for your dearest. Think about flowers and their respective meanings to make your loved one’s gift all the more special. If you want to show her your admiration and appreciation, pink roses are what you’re looking for. Thoughtfulness, charm, and graciousness can be found in cream roses. The yellow rose symbolizes joy and friendship, if you’re looking for a way to remind your Valentine she’s your best friend. Orange roses are for fascination and desire, peach roses are for intimacy, and white roses are innocence and purity. A mix of red and white roses is the perfect way to celebrate a marriage, as it represents unity.

Why not order the perfect floral gift for your loved one with Radebaugh Florist and Greenhouses? We encourage you to spread the love with one of our many Valentine’s Day designs, which are perfect for budding romances, long-lasting relationships, and even for special mothers, grandmothers, and daughters.
