Send the Perfect Bouquet of Flowers to Your College Student

For many high school graduates, August is an important transition time as they move out of their childhood homes and go to college. This is exciting for both college students and their parents, but the change can be difficult. It’s important to remember that students need support more than ever as they begin the next chapter in their lives. That’s why you can’t go wrong with sending flowers and a college care package!

If you have a college student heading for school in the fall, here are our favorite back-to-school plants and bouquets and care package ideas to send:
