The beginning of the school year stirs up many emotions. Nervousness over different teachers and more challenging classes is overshadowed by excitement about new friends and experiences. Whether heading to kindergarten or college, your child is getting ready to embark on a brand new season of life – so how about giving them a gift to offer your support and let them know you are proud of them?

The new college student is away from home, perhaps for the first time. Our Good Luck Bamboo is the perfect expression of confidence in them. This plant is renowned for bringing a peaceful, positive energy into a room; its green shoots, natural bamboo container and smooth white rocks exude calm. This unique gift is sure to provide a conversation focal point for your academic genius and his new friends.

But perhaps your scholar is younger and experiencing some anxiety about their first day. Surprise your littler students with a “Good Luck” balloon bouquet! Bright and festive balloons and the first new friend of the year – a plush teddy bear – is sure to provide comfort and dispel any anxious feelings.

Succulent and Cacti Garden

Don’t forget the teachers! They have been working all summer to prepare for your child’s arrival into a new year. Teacher gifts at the beginning of the year show your support and admiration for some of the hardest working professionals out there. Central Square recommends plants that can also teach lessons and are a natural fit in the classroom. We like the Succulent & Cacti Garden, which features plants that retain water in dry or arid conditions; the Juniper Bonsai Plant captures everyone’s attention and inspires creativity in the classroom. The plants’ striking appearance makes them as beautiful as they are educational.

For the student or the teacher, the new school year is an exciting time. Central Square Florist of Cambridge has plants, flowers and gifts that will help you kick it all off in style. Call us today to pick an inspirational and encouraging gift for everyone’s fresh start!
