National Puppy Day Encourages Adoption

Pets play an important role in our lives - but as much as many of us cherish our fur babies, not all animals experience the same level of love and acceptance. National Puppy Day was established on March 23, 2007, and is a grassroots effort to raise awareness about the issues surrounding shelters and the animals who live in them. Over-population, indiscriminate breeding, and overcrowding result in far too many animals being euthanized due to lack of space.  Thousands of volunteers and professionals across the country are committed to finding homes for rescue dogs and puppies, but the odds are stacked against them.  Read More about National Puppy Day Encourages Adoption »

Shamrocks & Green Plants for St. Patrick’s Day

In the 1800's, Irish immigrants poured into the Boston area looking to escape the terrible famine in their own country. However, St. Patrick's Day had been celebrated by earlier arrivals as far back as the 1730's. To this day, the greater metropolitan area still boasts one of the highest concentrations of people claiming Irish heritage, meaning that this part of the country is really anticipating March 17th and all of its festivities. For years, Curran's Flowers has been providing Danvers with shamrocks, the most iconic plant associated with the holiday, and we invite you to come into our shop and get some for your home or office. What a fun and festive way to celebrate the day! Did You Know? Many people associate the four-leaf clover with St. Patrick's Day, especially since it seems to correlate with "the luck o' the Irish!" However, it is the three-leafed variety of the clover that St. Patrick used to teach children about the doctrine of the Trinity. Read More about Shamrocks & Green Plants for St. Patrick’s Day »
