Don't give him a gift this Father's Day---give him an experience.
Let us at Beneva explain. The trend these days is to give presents that are less about something tangible and more about spending meaningful time with other people or having an experience. A trip to the Grand Canyon, a cooking class or a day at the theme park are all examples of this kind of present, where the emphasis is on personal growth, time with others and creating memories. We've got something just like this in mind for the dad in your life this June 17. Read More about The Gift Of A Good Time With Dad »

While it may feel like summer here in Sarasota two thirds of the year, it technically isn't, a fact which we here at Beneva are happy to make clear. Why? Because every season has its individual flowers (though spring and summer have a lot in common), and we don't want to take away from the debut of each crop as it springs to life. There's plenty of reasons to take a peek at what's in store for us this summer, even if many of its floral beauties are available to us year-round, given our climate. Warm-weather flowers not only thrive in certain temps, they look better in them. So while we may be able to get sunflowers in late winter, it's fun to wait.
