P3R Grows With Dandelion Ranch

P3R welcomes Dandelion RanchClover Chadwick, owner and principle designer, can completely transform any space with her seasonal and sustainable designs, which start with local growers.

Within a moment of seeing a Dandelion Ranch arrangement, you can tell that it wasn’t created by an ordinary flower shop.  Their arrangements are not just plopped into boring glass vases, but carefully composed in vintage or modern opaque containers, which they consider to be as important as the blooms themselves!  All of their arrangements are unique and truly remarkable.

Dandelion Ranch‘s philosophy is that they are committed to doing as much as they can to help our planet remain a safe, healthy, and beautiful haven.  Apparently it is customary for florists to use a floral foam that is non-biodegradable and that has been found to cause harm to the environment (as well as to the people who handle it.) Dandelion Ranch uses a completely safe, earth-friendly alternative made from natural ingredients.

How often do you buy flowers for your home?

Say ‘Congrats’ With Personalized Chocolate Messages

Chocolate Graphics International is an Australian based company that provides personalized embossed chocolates. Using only the finest tasting milk, white, and dark chocolate, Chocolate Graphics uses a patent protected process to create a raised embossed chocolate design that is far more advanced than just printing on chocolate.
