We have just finished the Christmas window at Four Seasons. Using real trees sourced just outside Balmedie we have gone for a frosted winter look accented with blue lights to create a winter feel with beautiful flowers on the base. We have just finished the flowers at the Marcliffe and Simpsons and are finishing off various other displays in businesses throughout Aberdeen. Speak to Phyl Bruce to discuss any needs you may have in your home. We offer our services to help decorate any home, with fresh pine, holly and various winter flowers to give your home a  wow effect for Christmas. For Aberdeen Flowers Phyl Bruce and her team will be able to help. We hope you like our window, more pictures will be following shortly.

Battle of the Flowers

The small Island of Jersey, just off the coast of Normandy, holds its annual Battle of the flowers in August. This spectacular event consists of local people from the island, building floats with either paper or real flowers. It is a celebration that regularly attracts about 20,000 people each year.

The parade is expected to be watched by thousands of people on 9 August on Victoria Avenue.

It originally was held to celebrate the coronation of King Edward VII in 1902 but as it was so popular it returned the following year and has been a one of the major attractions within Jersey throughout the summer months since.

The organisers said they wanted to cut the queues experienced last year and give islanders a better chance to get tickets early. In response, the ticket office at Liberty Wharf opened last Monday Even Managers said that their sales have been going through the roof.

This cultural experience can happen even in your own home, Four Seasons Florist Aberdeen can provide you with such flowers to suit every individual’s taste that will brighten your home and leave it fresh and fragranced.

 Lindy Murff, a local farmer that tends to the land between, has successfully created one of God’s most beautiful sights on this planet. Driver’s that travel are struck with a sense of awe at this golden sea.

Cooled by the summer rains and warmed by the sun’s rays, a field of sunflowers has grown to nearly six feet and is catching every driver’s eye as they pass; it’s too extraordinary to look away.

“This was a piece of land that didn’t have any irrigation and we’ve had a hard time growing things on it and we needed something good to look at,” Lindy Murff, the owner of the grass farm said. “Why not flowers instead of a dirty, dried up field?” he asked. And why not? There’s nothing like driving down a long stretch of road, falling asleep at the wheel…and then there they are, staring you in the face, these ‘bright smiley’ flowers…1000’s of them. It would definitely brighten my day.

Last year’s crop produced about two-acres of the tall, green plant with blooms as big as 5-6 inches in diameter.

Mr. Murff was so pleased with the way his field turned out that he says he’ll replant once this year’s season have passed; “Once they’ve quit blooming, I’ll mow them down and replant again,”.
