Halloween Trivia – Trick-or treating has been around for less than a century but is one of our most beloved traditions.  In the 1930’s, the custom of going door to door for candy was inspired by “souling”, during which the poor went begging through neighborhoods.

Grace your home or office with the whimsy of the Kelli Cart, a keepsake ceramic scarecrow pushing a wheelbarrow overflowing with vivid fall flowers such as red gerberas, purple asters and yellow sunflowers.

Did You Know? Although Halloween is a modern holiday, fall festivals are as old as civilization. For thousands of years, people celebrated and gave thanks for the abundance of the harvest. and to this day feasts are held on farms and in pumpkin patches during this time of year. Although they are no longer spiritual in nature, many of the elements of Halloween  – such as protecting against evil spirits – remain as a part of folklore.

No matter the holiday, you will find the perfect seasonal gifts and flowers at Boyd’s Florist. We are pleased to provide your Halloween decor, and look forward to all the Thanksgiving decorating to come!
