FTD Good Neighbor Day, Wednesday, September 11, 2013



FTD® Good Neighbor Day® 2013

Celebrate Friendship & Local Heroes
The 19th annual FTD® Good Neighbor Day® will take place on Wednesday, September 11, 2013. Hundreds of FTD Florists across the U.S. and Canada are planning exciting local events, making philanthropic donations and helping to spread friendship and kindness to their neighbors through the distribution of free floral bouquets. This year's event is extra special since it falls on Patriot Day, so some FTD Florists may also be celebrating local heroes.

Gift of Flowers
FTD florists have celebrated FTD® Good Neighbor Day® since 1994, encouraging all neighbors to help create a friendlier, more caring and compassionate world through the gift of flowers. That's why customers are encouraged to keep one flower for themselves and give the others away — brightening the day of many other people.

Find a Participating FTD Florist in your neighborhood.

Free flowers available while supplies last at participating FTD® Florists.


Looks like Blossom Designs in Hixson, TN is the closest store participating.
