Spring Selections
Spring is when the landscape begins to come back to life in the Garden State. In New Jersey, agriculture is the third-largest industry, generating $65 billion a year, according to NJ Monthly. Although much of the state’s land has become commercial and residential, 17 percent is still farmland, which includes nurseries, vineyards, orchards, horse farms, and produce and livestock farms.
In the world of flowers, bulb plants are a signal of spring, whether they are planted in the garden or arranged in a vase of fresh-cut flowers. Bulb plants can be sent as gifts such as:
Plant Baskets: A plant basket containing bulb plants such as fragrant hyacinths and colorful tulips will brighten the recipient’s day. These plants can also be planted in the garden for beautiful blooms the following year.
Fresh Flower Arrangements: Florists offer bulb flowers such as daffodils and grape hyacinths arranged in a vase. This will bring a bit of the New Jersey spring indoors for recipients to enjoy.
Summer Blooms
New Jersey is well known for its delicious tomato crops. The tomatoes’ superior flavor, however, is not due to growing conditions unique to New Jersey but to the select varieties grown in the state. Other flavor contributors include growing care and the length of time the tomatoes are left to ripen on the vine, according to the New Jersey Leisure Guide.
To harness a bit of the summer garden feeling in a floral or plant delivery, try sending:
Hanging Baskets: These baskets are meant to hang outside and are filled with annual plants that bring the rich colors of summer closer to the home.
Seasonal Fresh-Cut Flowers: Many recipients would enjoy a vase of sunny yellow sunflowers. These seasonal flowers can be seen growing in New Jersey and help to bring a little sunshine indoors.
Fall Harvests
Beekeeping is another agricultural pursuit that is part of the Garden State’s tradition. In fact, the production and export of beeswax is one of Camden County’s oldest industries, and an estimated 2,500 NJ residents still keep bees today. Bees are important pollinators contributing to New Jersey’s crops, and they have a great impact on beautifying fall plant and flower gifts such as:
Mum Plants: Mum plants come in a variety of fall colors and add vibrancy to any recipient’s outdoor fall décor. Like bulb plants, mums can be planted directly into the garden to return the following year.
Fall Annuals: Fall annuals make lovely gifts and include pansies, which are biennial plants, meaning that they can overwinter from fall to spring.
Winter’s Offerings
Winter is a time for the land to rest, but leave it to florists to provide a nature fix to those missing the greenery of seasons past. Winter plant and flower ideas include:
Poinsettias: These plants’ distinct red, white, or pink “flowers” are actually colored leaves.
Winter Greenery: Garlands of cedar, fir, pine, and holly add cheer to winter displays and hold up well to winter’s chill whether they’re used outdoors or draped across a warm mantel.
