As Easter approaches, Mitchell’s Nursery is abuzz with the vibrant colors and fragrant blooms that mark the season. This time of year is not just about chocolate eggs and bunny rabbits; it’s also a time when flowers take center stage in homes, churches, and cemeteries alike. At Mitchell’s, we celebrate Easter with a wide array of blossoms, each carrying its own symbolism and significance in this age-old tradition.

One of the most poignant customs associated with Easter is the act of adorning graves with flowers. It’s a practice that spans cultures and continents, symbolizing remembrance, love, and the hope of resurrection. As families gather to pay homage to their dearly departed, they bring with them a kaleidoscope of colors and scents, transforming graveyards into vibrant gardens of remembrance. It’s a gesture of honoring the past while embracing the promise of new beginnings.

There are myriad blooms that hold a special place in Easter traditions. Azaleas, with their lush foliage and vivid blossoms, symbolize passion and new beginnings. Their vibrant hues add a burst of color to Easter celebrations, whether adorning church altars or brightening up living spaces.

The abundant blooms of hydrangeas are reminiscent of fluffy clouds, symbolizing gratitude and heartfelt emotions. Often seen in pastel shades, hydrangeas evoke a sense of serenity and renewal, making them a popular choice for Easter bouquets.

With their abundance of petals and cheerful demeanor, mums symbolize joy, optimism, and longevity. These resilient flowers come in a myriad of colors, making them a versatile choice for Easter floral arrangements.

Radiating happiness and innocence, gerbera daisies are a popular choice for Easter bouquets. Their bold hues and cheerful blooms add a playful touch to Easter celebrations, symbolizing purity and new beginnings.

In the array of Easter flowers, geraniums stand out with their enduring charm. Symbolizing love, friendship, and devotion, these blooms come in vibrant hues and delicate petals. Resilient and versatile, geraniums thrive indoors and outdoors, adorning church entrances or garden beds with their cheerful presence. Beloved for warding off evil spirits and bringing good fortune, geraniums add joy and abundance to Easter celebrations.

Perhaps the most iconic of Easter flowers, the white Easter lily symbolizes purity, grace, and the resurrection. Its elegant trumpet-shaped blooms and heavenly fragrance make it a staple in churches and homes during the Easter season. Another option is the calla lily. Known for their sleek, trumpet-shaped blooms and graceful curves, calla lilies symbolize faith and rebirth. Their pristine white petals exude a sense of purity and enlightenment, making them a fitting choice for Easter celebrations.

Whether you’re decorating a church altar, adorning your home, or paying tribute to loved ones, our flowers are guaranteed to inspire hope, renewal, and joy.
