Embrace Friendship & Sisterhood

"A sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost." ~Marian Garretty Sisterhood and friendship go hand in hand. Who else can take you back to the memories of childhood like a sister? These lifelong friends are beautiful gifts, so it makes sense that National Sisters Day and National Friendship Day are celebrated on the same day! The first Sunday in August (August 6th this year) is a day to celebrate these special women in your life. Billy Heroman's Flowers & Gifts is happy to help you to honor them, with a beautiful selection of bouquets to tell her how much you appreciate her in your life.

Outdoor Gardens for Butterflies & Bees

Summer is in full swing, and with the new season comes the expectation that insects of all sorts will visit your backyard or outdoor gardens. Some of these visitors are welcome - for instance, butterflies and bees create a lovely atmosphere that not only celebrates summer, but is important to our ecosystem. And as certain flowers will attract these insects more readily, we invite you to work with Billy Heroman's Flowers & Gifts to choose from an array of beautiful plants and flowers that are sure to be inviting. Butterflies love fresh water, a sunny spot that's shielded from the wind, and plenty of nectar. Certain flowers work well in these conditions, too, and contain the right ingredients to bring butterflies - or even caterpillars- to your landscape. Gardens full of milkweed, sunflowers, asters and goldenrod, for example, make great homes for caterpillars and the butterflies they will become.
