Chicago flower shop offers special bouquets for Mother's Day, healthcare workers amid COVID-19

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Flowers for Dreams sells locally crafted flowers online and offers free hand delivery in Chicago and service to Detroit, Milwaukee, and all their surrounding suburbs.

Bouquets start around $35, and every bouquet sold benefits a local charity.

Co-Founder of Flowers for Dreams Steven Dyme joined ABC7 to talk about their Mother's Day Specials and about how they are supporting first responders.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the flower shop reconfigured their entire space to enforce aggressive distancing measures. Color-coded teams each with a newly built breakroom, dedicated bathroom, and more creative safety-first approaches to fulfillment.

Heading into Mother's Day, the shop is offering special bouquets deals including:

• D-I-Y plants & indoor garden bundles to give Mom a fun quarantine activity

• Brunch & blooms promo with local restaurants like Beatrix & Gemini

• Their flagship Spring bouquets being sold for virtual workshops & delivery

1/4 of the profits from Flower of Dreams' Mother's Day bouquets will help fund mental health resources through the Chicago organization, Hope for the Day.
