As summer begins to wind down, students everywhere are preparing to return to school. College students are packing up and gathering décor for their dorm rooms. If you know students moving into a dorm this year, you may be thinking about ways to care for them and remind them of home while they’re away. The design team at Adrian Durban Florist has some great ideas about thoughtful ways you can spruce up his dorm room or let her know you’re thinking about her.One excellent way to remind your student of home and dress up her dorm room at the same time is with a gorgeous houseplant. Plants add to the ambiance of a space, making it feel more like home. They also have some amazing health benefits. Plants maintain a healthy level of humidity in the air. They also clean toxins out of the air, purifying the room naturally and making it more suitable for studying. Plus, studies have shown that people who work near plants notice improved concentration, memory function and productivity.

A dish garden like our Surprise Garden Basket, shown above, will be a long-term reminder to your student of how much you love her and think about her. At the same time, it will make her dorm room fresh and vibrant.

Another way to care for your college student while he’s away from home is with a care package full of snacks or fresh brownies! He’ll be the most popular kid on his hall when he shares the snacks from our Snack Food Basket, featured above.

Treat her to a study break or give him some sustenance while he prepares for midterms with our Fresh Brownies, shown below. What an excellent surprise and stress reliever!

You want your kids to know you’re thinking about them, even when they’re not with you. Whether they are right here in Cincinnati or attending school far away, surprise them with a tasty treat or a long-lasting dish garden that makes their dorm room feel a little more like home. The design team at Adrian Durban Florist will be ready to assist you with professional service and delivery anywhere in the country!
