Time to Get Into the Christmas Spirit!

This year, through December 23rd, 2008 we are offering you a savings in our store for helping a family in our community. Many families in our area struggle to put food on their tables so we are encouraging you to bring in some canned or boxed food for a good cause. For each can or box of food you bring in you will save 5% on your purchase up to 50% for 10 cans of food (kash & karry only). On Christmas Eve our Kircher Associates will deliver the cans of food to three of our local pantries. Food brought into our Defiance store will go to the PATH Center, food brought into our Napoleon store will go to Broken Bread at the Church of Nazarene, and food brought into our Paulding store will go to The Caring & Sharing Food Pantry. If you have any questions please contact Katie by e-mailing katie@kirchersflowers.com.

On any Poinsettia order placed on our website you can receive 25% off by using our special promotional code through December 23rd, 2008. Available for local deliveries only with the promotional code "25off".

Our Kircher associates can help all of your decorating needs. If you would like more information on holiday decorating at your home, please call and ask any of our associates.

The widespread belief that poinsettias are poisonous is a misconception. The scientific evidence demonstrating the poinsettia's safety is ample and well documented. As with all ornamental plants, poinsettias are not intended for human or animal consumption. Individuals with a sensitivity to latex - the milky fluid found in cut poinsettias and other plants - may experience allergic reactions in the form of a rash or irritation that develops when the skin is exposed to the latex. This has been observed to occur only with people who are allergic to latex and products made from this material. However, the poinsettia has been demonstrated to be a safe plant. In fact, in 1992, the poinsettia was included on the list of houseplants most helpful in removing pollutants from indoor air. So, not only is the poinsettia a safe and beautiful addition to your holiday decor, it can even help keep your indoor air clean!
