Maybe they baked you cookies or read you bedtime stories. Maybe you both have a green thumb or are great with numbers. It’s hard to think of people in your life who are bigger champions of the wonderfulness of you! I’m talking about … grandparents!
Grandparents Day is Sunday, Sept. 13 and it’s a terrific time to let them know how much they mean to you. Of course, there are many ways to express your love and appreciation: a phone call, a card, a letter or a visit. If you’re also looking for a little gift to underscore your affection, consider this special Teleflora keepsake, designed by renowned artist Susan Winget, who draws inspiration from her life on a farm in North Carolina.
Susan Winget’s Songbird Bouquet
As Susan Winget puts it: "My grandparents always held a special place in my heart and it is a privilege to create art that will honor beloved grandparents throughout the world. Celebrating with flowers speaks to the simplest language of beauty and caring."
There are two versions of Susan’s ceramic planter: Susan Winget’s Songbird Bouquet features white roses, spray roses, delphiniums and button-spray mums; the Songbird Planter arrives with a yellow kalanchoe plant and a bird’s nest with eggs.

Once the flowers are gone, these keepsake containers can hold pens, keys or various plants.
Shawn Weidmann, president of Teleflora, says, "Anyone who recognizes the importance of family bonds will want to send one of Teleflora's new bouquets, reminding grandparents just how important and loved they are."
Stay tuned: Next week I’ll be running a Q&A with Susan about her life on the farm and her artistic inspiration.
