Valentine’s Day 2022 will once again be a unique one. With restaurants, spas and overall activities limited, we once again expect those in l-o-v-e or just wanting to celebrate with a bestie, to send or gift flowers as part of the celebration.

Unfortunately, the in-store capacity limits placed on your local florist, aka – your London, St. Thomas or Strathroy Forest of Flowers – will affect your shopping experience as Valentine’s Day and the day prior typically see our locally owned and operated stores filled to the brim with last minute shoppers. This year could result in an even longer wait in the cold outside if you are not prepared by pre-ordering your roses or flowers bouquets for pick-up or delivery. This is NOT the year to be last minute if you want to express your love!

What we recommend. Call, visit or go on-line at www.myforestofflowers.com well in advance of Valentine’s Day (before February 7^th) to order your loved ones’ flowers to be delivered ahead of time. That’s right – who doesn’t love flowers delivered to the workplace – hint hint, on the Friday before the big day and in advance of the Super Bowl.

Unfortunately, with labour shortages and a lack of delivery drivers, it just might not be possible to get those flowers delivered during daylight, if you insist on them being delivered on the 13^th or

14^th as we expect to deliver into the evening hours with no guaranteed delivery times on Valentine’s Day weekend.
