Every year at Rose Petals Florist; as soon as we hang up our Valentine’s aprons, \u00a0we get on the phone & start pricing white carnations. \u00a0When we find the best quality flower at the best price, we have the price ‘froze’ till later. \u00a0St. Patrick’s Day Flowers is now in mind.<\/p>\n

Weeks later we order the white carnations and get to work paint
\nng them green. \u00a0We do have a little secret with ‘green hydration’ that has worked well for years. By the\u00a0\u00a0end of the process, \u00a0a matter of hours), we have the perfect green carnations.<\/p>\n

We will let the green carnation set in clear water over night to ‘set’ the pigment. \u00a0After the pigment has been reached,\u00a0we are ready for the gold.<\/p>\n

The St. Patrick’s Day green flowers get dipped in\u00a0gold glittet and packed in buckets to go to the St. Patrick’s Day Parade.<\/p>\n

For years ROSE PETALS FLORIST donated green\u00a0\u00a0carnations to the Little Falls School System for fundraisers of their own.<\/p>\n

The LITTLE FALLS CLASS OF 2018 raised $700.00 one St. Patrick’s Day, \u00a0The upcoming\u00a0graduating class was in 1st grade. These kids were\u00a0able to pay for their end of the year class trips by themselves. \u00a0 \u00a0The kids learned about marketing, sales and art and pulled it together to make a beautiful profit for themselves when they were learning about money.<\/p>\n

Rose Petals Florist will sell thousands of fresh green carnations with our ‘dollar a flower’ campagne.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We also sell a lot of the St. Patrick’s Day Pot o’ gold\u00a0<\/span><\/span>bouquets that consist of green flowers and 3 yellow roses per bouquet.<\/p>\n

\u00a0I‘ve met so many people with this autoimmune disorder which is also intertwined with ALS; another autoimmune disorder and one with which we had previously had part in fundraising for.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0An \u00a0autoimmune disorder is when changes in a persons<\/span> body can lead to the immune system attacking healthy cells and this leads to harming the body.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0MS has to do with the breakdown of the seath wrapped around the nerves in the brain and spinal cord.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I have worked with many businesses in Herkimer & Oneida Counties that have donated\u00a0to the MD society for years through fund-raisers.<\/p>\n

Its time for ROSE PETALS FLORIST to fundraise for\u00a0a good cause again.<\/p>\n

We are very active in donating when we get approached; we try to keep it at about 12 times a year, one fund raiser per month. (I have to still pay Sales tax on every flower that I donate, so I have to have a limit.)<\/p>\n

We donate carnations for various fund-raising \u00a0organizations and functions to hold a “dollar a Flower” campagne, themselves.<\/p>\n

This is always a great success and all proceeds are totally handled by the function that we donated the flowers to. (Usually, they will stop by or call us to contribute and I tell them about the dollar a flower campaghne and they love it. \u00a0They are able to raise much more than if I just wrote a check.)<\/p>\n

This particular fundraiser, I’ll be doing a little\u00a0more; I’ll be actually making the bouquets and tracking the fundraising to hand over to the<\/p>\n

I’ve noticed that more and more local people get diagnosed\u00a0with this terrible disorder MS under the cloudy sky’s of the Mohawk Valley.<\/p>\n
