When we hear “the dog days of summer,” we usually think of those long, hot afternoons when even the air feels tired! The sun is bright, the humidity is heavy, and everyone is looking for a little relief from the heat.
The phrase brings to mind our favorite four-legged friends stretching out in the shade, taking it slow, and waiting for the cooler evening air to roll in. Honestly, they may be onto something. 🐾 But if the summer heat has you feeling warm, wilted, and ready for a break, we have just the place for you.
Stop by Gillespie Florists and take a refreshing stroll through our 500-square-foot flower cooler. Kept at a crisp 36 degrees, our cooler helps keep fresh flowers from around the world looking their very best. It is also one of the prettiest ways to cool down in Indianapolis. ❄️🌸
As you walk through, you will be surrounded by bright colors, fresh greenery, and the natural fragrance of roses, lilies, daisies, hydrangeas, and so much more. It is a little burst of beauty and cool air all in one place.
While you are here, you may even find a few stems or a cheerful bouquet to take home for your kitchen table, desk, or favorite sunny spot. Fresh flowers are a lovely reminder that even on the hottest summer days, a little color and fragrance can brighten everything. 💐
And since we are talking about the dog days of summer, we cannot forget the pups! We have adorable treats from Paw Street Bakery available in our store and online. These sweet little goodies make a wonderful add-on to bouquets, plants, and gift orders for the pet lovers in your life. After all, summer treats should not be just for humans.
