October  means everything pumpkin! Pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin muffins, coffee, beer, candles, and of course pumpkin pie! Here at Concord Flower Shop we use real pumpkins as containers for our colorful autumn arrangements. They are so popular by the end of October, we are quite frankly, pretty tired of scooping pumpkin guts! 

If you stop by the flower shop you can pick up one of our adorable mini pumpkins with 

flowers from $10-$20. If you prefer to have something delivered check out our Pumpkin Supreme or any of the autumn themed bouquets if you aren't into pumpkins.

People always want to know how long a pumpkin will last when it's been hollowed out to hold flowers. Definitely longer than your Halloween Jack-o-lanterns, but maybe not as long as the flowers. We do wash the inside well with a bleach solution which keeps it fresh longer.Then we add a plastic liner to the hollowed out pumpkin which holds the floral foam in which the flowers are designed. Since air can't reach the inside once it's filled, it slows the decay down.But if you find the pumpkin getting a bit sad before the flowers do just lift out the flowers with their plastic liner and place them in a bowl or basket.  Be sure to water your arrangement every day and do place it on a saucer to prevent damage to your table.

*We only have these available for the month of October so get one soon! They make a perfect pick me up or a fun Halloween gift.
