Winter can feel like a world painted in endless shades of grey. It's easy to feel a bit lost without the vibrant greens of nature, especially when most of our time is spent indoors. That’s the beauty and benefit of fresh flowers!
Flowers are more than just a pretty sight. There's solid research backing up the benefits of flowers and indoor plants, confirming what we already know deep down — the happiness that fresh flowers bring to our lives.
So, if you're looking for ways to brighten up your life or bring a smile to someone’s face this winter, fresh flowers are a wonderful choice!
In this article, we will explore the benefits of fresh flowers during the winter months, from happiness to health perks and more. Whether for yourself or as a thoughtful gesture for someone else, let's see what flowers can do for you.
Winter can sometimes feel like a bit of a downer. Short days, not much sun – it's easy to fall into a rut and feel down in the dumps.
This is where the magic of plants and flowers comes in. Flowers, with their bright colors, vibrant scents, and natural beauty, are just the ticket for chasing away those winter blues.
There's some solid science behind this, too. Researchers found that spending just a few minutes in a room full of plants can make people feel noticeably happier compared to a plant-free space. The longer you hang out with these green buddies, the better you feel. Some colors of flowers, like purple and green, are particularly good at giving negative vibes the boot.
But it's not just about feeling good in the moment. Being around plants is also linked to a boost in your self-esteem and more satisfaction with life in general.
This is where a fresh flower subscription really shines. Imagine the excitement of getting a new, beautiful bouquet regularly. It’s like a continuous stream of little happiness boosts, especially welcome during the chilly winter months.
With a subscription like ours, there’s always something new and surprising – a whole range of flowers and arrangements that keep things interesting.
Winter can be stressful. There's the holiday rush, those looming end-of-year deadlines, and it seems like everyone's catching a cold. Plus, dealing with the cold weather is a hassle – shoveling the driveway, digging out your car, fixing the furnace...and so on.
But here's a bright spot: fresh flowers and plants are real stress-busters. And there's science to back this up.
Studies show that having plants around can really dial down both the physical and mental stress{:target="_blank" rel="nofollow"}. In one study, researchers tested this out by decorating a hospital waiting room with a real plant, a picture of a plant, or no plants at all. Guess what? The plant helped people feel less stressed (and even just the picture of a plant did some good.)
So, when winter gets you down, a bunch of fresh flowers or a new houseplant can be a big help.
And for an extra easy, stress-free way to get those flowers, check out our Fresh Flower Subscription. No need to remember to buy flowers – it's all taken care of, which means less on your plate and more time to kick back and relax!
The colder, shorter days often mean we're stuck inside more than we'd like. This means less fresh air, less exercise, and, let's face it, sometimes just feeling a bit blah.
This is another area where fresh flowers can do you some good in the winter months. Research shows that just having plants and flowers around can make a big difference to our health. For example, patients in hospitals who have plants in their room may need less pain medication, have lower blood pressure, and feel more positive overall.
Now, it’s not like flowers and plants are magical healers. They can’t stop you from getting sick or fix injuries by themselves. But they sure can help make your environment feel more positive and healing-friendly. There’s just something about having plants around that lifts your spirits and supports recovery.
When winter hits and we crank up the heat, our homes turn into cozy hideaways. But, ever notice how that toasty air starts to feel a bit stale after a while? That's because it keeps swirling around, picking up and spreading all sorts of odors. Plus, all that warmth can dry out the air, leaving our spaces feeling less than fresh.
Yet another reason to add a vase of fragrant, fresh cut flowers to your home. Ever walked into a room, caught a whiff of a lovely scent, and just felt better? There’s science behind that.
Studies show that certain smells can actually make us feel calm and secure, especially when we’re stressed. So, these fragrant blooms don’t just fight off those musty odors; they can lift our spirits and even give a confidence boost.
Consider how popular scented products like candles and air fresheners are. Research even tells us that more than half of people feel more relaxed in a sweet-smelling home. Others feel more productive or confident. That's the power of a good scent.
So, why go for artificial smells when you can get the real deal? Fresh flowers offer so much more than a splash of colour in the chilly winter months. Some of our favourite fragrant arrangements include:
You don’t need science to tell you that giving people gifts feels great. But science does it anyway! Gifting is a surefire way to make yourself a little bit happier – and fresh flowers are a surefire way to make the recipient just as glad.
In winter, when it's all cold and people don't get together as much, receiving a bouquet of beautiful, fresh flowers is like getting a warm hug from afar. It's a reminder that even in the dreary, cold months, the world is still full of life and love.
If you're someone who loves the idea of spreading happiness with flowers, why stop at just one occasion? Think about a Fresh Flower Subscription. It's a simple way to keep the joy coming, not just once, but all through the winter.
Fresh flowers are more than just a pretty decoration in our homes. They're a little window to nature, a source of comfort, and a bit of warmth in the midst of cold, Canadian winters. They not only brighten our spaces but also lift our spirits, reduce stress, and even contribute to our health and well-being.
Treating yourself to fresh flowers is a form of self-care, a simple yet effective way to nurture your own happiness and peace of mind. In these long winter months, when the world outside seems to pause, bringing a piece of nature's beauty indoors can be a powerful thing.
If this makes sense to you, why not take the step today? Order fresh flowers for yourself or send them to someone special. Whether it's a one-time bouquet to add a splash of color to your day or a flower subscription to ensure a steady flow of floral self-care, each arrangement is a reminder of life's simple pleasures!
