20 Front St. Ashland, MA. 
Hours: M-F 10am-5pm Sat. 10am-2pm 
Description: During the month of May, Blush Bouquets will be running our Flowers for Friends promotion to benefit DAET. The offer includes 3 wrapped bunches of tulips – 1 for you to keep and 2 for you to give away – for $60, with a $10 donation back to DAET. 

Studies have shown that flowers can induce creative energy and positive vibes, ultimately making us feel better. In addition, people who suffer from stress are positively influenced by the presence of flowers. Amazingly, even patients in the hospital who had flowers in their room during their recovery felt less anxiety than people with empty rooms. 

Giving flowers as an unexpected gift to ourselves or others can also improve our mood, as it is a gesture filled with love and compassion. 

When you receive flowers, your fatigue decreases, and your blood pressure lowers. It’s the gift that keeps on giving! Specifically, tulips alleviate tension and exhaustion. 

Can be purchased in-store or on the website www.blushbouquets.com 

Hosted by Decisions at Every Turn Coalition and the Town of Ashland
