GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) — Love is in the air, as many are eager to celebrate Valentine’s Day on Tuesday. Don’t forget to pick up flowers for your special someone.
Like everything else, flowers may cost you a bit more this year. Kyle Hogarty, owner of Flowerama in Green Bay, says over the past three years flower prices have gone up by about $5 each year due to supply chain issues and COVID-19.
Hogarty shared more about the process for the store to get ready for Valentine’s Day;
“As far as the planning and placing the order for the flowers, that usually starts around Thanksgiving for us,” said Hogarty. “As for as the actual physical work, it’s usually about a week to a week and a half in advance.”
This year more people have been ordering flowers online in advance, which Hogarty says helps them to be sure they are getting exactly what they want.
In addition to roses, popular flowers this Valentine’s Day include lilies and tulips.
