For many, Valentine’s Day is a time to celebrate your relationship with your significant other but for your local florists, it’s their busiest time of the year.
As Valentine s Day approaches, coronavirus numbers fluctuate in the North Georgia area. However, the pandemic won t stop people from celebrating their love with flowers.
Corinila Hutson, owner of Alene s Flower Cottage on Morningside Drive in Gainesville, said Valentine s Day is one of their busiest seasons, so much so they alter their hours the week ahead of the holiday. I feel like it s going to be a little bit of a slim year, number one for it being on a Sunday, and then COVID-19, said Hutson. I just think people are not going to think about flowers as much to send, and I hope I m wrong.
