Thanksgiving at the Shop

It is always a great weekend at the shop Thanksgiving weekend. The parking lot was full and the Mews was full of families with smiles and chuckles with all the activities going on. Everyone loves the horse and wagon ride and the little ones being held up by a parent to pet the nose of the horse for the first time brings out a chuckle.

Bails of hay, pumpkins and scarecrows decorate the Mews and the town. In the shop buckets of fall flowers over flow the cooler to corners around the shop. Golden yellows, oranges, rusts and reds! The traditional cornucopia always wins in popularity.

Best of all, though, are the “Happy Thanksgiving” wishes from the customers as they leave the store with their bundle of flowers. I give thanks for all those wishes and smiles!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Golden Solidago Flower

Our cooler in the Manotick Florists’ store front has officially taken a change of colour – from pastel and refreshing tropical to the golden yellows, rusts and reds of the Autumn season. One of our most popular flowers that adds that “golden touch” to any arrangement is the Salidago. Quite often I get the comment “I see that flower in the farmers’ field” or “I’m allergic to that flower.”

The Salidago A.K.A. Solidaster, yes, is a member of the Golden Rod, aster, family and, no, it will not give you hay fever. The florists’ Salidago is grown in green houses and has lost it’s pollen, and besides it is pollenized by the bees!


So enjoy the golden touch that this long-lasting and well loved flower gives you in your fall arrangements. See some of the arrangements that we are doing this season on our websites at www.manotickflorists.com www.manotickflowers.com or ask our Designers to customize a special arrangement for your fall Events.
