World Mental Health Day falls on 10 October each year — a reminder to pause, reflect, and check in on ourselves and the people we love. Flowers may not solve everything, but research shows they can lift spirits, reduce stress and create an instant sense of happiness.

Why flowers help

Instant positive emotion: Receiving flowers sparks joy and calmness.

Calmer spaces: Plants and flowers in workspaces support focus and creativity.

Connection & care: A bouquet is a physical reminder that someone is there for you.
