May offers us the chance to show gratitude to teachers and honor nurses. Why are these two groups of people so worthy of our thanks? Because both are dedicated to positively impacting the world – they invest their talents, spend their time and show genuine concern to everyone they come in contact with. This is why City Line Florist is privileged to assist as you celebrate these special people on their special days – May 9th is National Teachers Day, and May 6 is National Nurses Day.

By the Numbers? There are approximately 3.1 million nurses in the United States – and incredibly, almost exactly the same number of teachers. But we think that none are quite so awesome as our local Trumbull and Fairfield area professionals!

“When you’re a nurse you know that every day you will touch a life – or a life will touch yours.” – Unknown

Nurses have a soft touch but have nerves of steel. They are angels with medical training, a dramatic combination of empathy and reason, skill and comfort. Anyone who has spent time in a medical facility understands that it is the nurses who make all the difference. This May 6-12, send a gorgeous floral display to the nurse – or nurses – who touched your heart. Although we sometimes only spend a short time together, the impact they make is permanent.

“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” -Henry Brooks Adams

Educators are at once mathematicians and artists, counselors and scientists. They give guidance, offer advice, encourage courage and inspire dreams. If you wish to recognize your favorite teacher past or present, share a photo or story to social media on May 9, using the hashtag #ThankATeacher. You’ll be joining others all across the country giving credit to their teachers for their incredible positive influence. Of course, they would also love a beautiful bouquet of flowers, a delicious gourmet basket, or a uniquely personal gift. After all, who doesn’t love to be thanked for their efforts?

There are many people in our everyday lives who make a difference, even if very few people notice. We are excited to have the opportunity to help you let them know that you noticed, today and throughout the year.  City Line Florist is your local hometown source for the very best appreciation flowers in Trumbull.
