Did you know flowers are scientifically proven to provide a moment of calm? Research from the University of North Florida’s Department of Public Health shows that living with flowers significantly reduces our stress. That is good news considering 68 percent of people report experiencing stress weekly and 32 percent feel stress daily. A simple solution to help relieve your stress is to have flowers on your nightstand to see when you first wake up, on your desk to provide a breath of fresh air while you work, or on your kitchen counter or coffee table to help you unwind after a hectic day.
