"Where Every Stem Tells a Story!"

Nature is medicine and flowers it’s natural antidepressants. Flowers inspire us to be our better selves and invoke powerful positive emotions. According to the Society of American Florists website, “Study participants who lived with fresh cut flowers for less than a week felt an increase in feelings of compassion and kindness for others…overall, people in the study simply felt less negative after being around flowers at home for just a few days.”

Human beings were meant to live amongst the plants and wild things. We were not designed to be surrounded by concrete structures and constantly staring at screens. Bringing some of nature’s most beautiful things into our homes and precious moments, gives our nervous systems a break from the man-made pressures of everyday life, and reminds us there is more to living. In a study conducted by Rutgers University, they found “the presence of flowers led to increased contact with family and friends.” Flowers are a gift in and of themselves made all the better by the intent of the giver.

At Petal & Stem Flower Co, we not only want to help make your life and special events more beautiful, we want to gift you the incredible mood lifting affect flowers offer to us all. Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about how we intend to serve you by spreading beauty, love, and kindness through our unique designs.
