Bagoy's Florist & Home really can't overstate the significance of bees. 1/3 of the food we consume is dependent on pollination, a process that relies mostly on bees. Of the top 100 foods we consume, bees pollinate 70. We're talking everything from avocados and apples to coffee and carrots. This is why maintaining bee colonies, contained in hives or "hotels," is crucial. Just as beneficial? Keeping a bee-friendly garden. Read More

So you've brought home a beautiful design from Bagoy's Florist & Home or received one. What now?

There are certain florals and greens that do well in certain spaces in your home and others that can live anywhere. A few rules apply: nothing too fragrant on the dining table, for example. Something Zen-like and humidity-hardy in the bathroom, for another. Today we take one of our summer designs and tell you exactly where you can give it a home in yours. Read More

Bring Summer To The Classroom

By bagoys on July 30, 2018 in Back to School, Flowers. 0 Comments

It's always sad to see summer go, and no more so than for our kids. The season of sunshine and fun is over, only to be replaced by school. But not all is lost: you can bring summer to the classroom in the form of flowers. Instead of Meet the Teacher, you can call this one Please the Teacher. We tend to think of teacher gifts as coming at the end of the school year, but we here at Bagoy's Florist & Home see a lot of value in giving flowers at its start. It helps everyone bridge the gap between summer and fall. Read More

Bagoy's Florist & Home spends the 4th of July like many of you do---relaxing and enjoying the long summer day. We love to be outside camping or at the lake, firing up the grill later for some good old American BBQ. We too look forward to the fireworks show and the chance to commune with family and friends, whether we're in a backyard, on a boat or gathering around the table. If you've been invited to spend Independence Day at someone else's home this year, bring a proper hostess gift along with that six pack and extra hot dog buns. Read More
