The flowers for the spring season are here, and they are beautiful as ever! Did You Know? Across the country, the most anticipated flower is the crocus.

Celebrate International Women’s Day Locally

International Women's Day, celebrated on March the 8th, has rallied women from all over the world for over 100 years. The movement began in the Soviet Union and Eastern bloc nations as women sought equal rights and social justice, but the idea quickly spread across Europe. With activities and celebrations in nearly 100 countries and events planned in nearly every U.S. state, it is an initiative that continues to pick up steam. The organizers of this year's events have promoted the day's activities to revolve around a theme, and a social media campaign - #BeBoldForChange.
