Dunbar Floral & Gifts Ready For Last Minute Mother’s Day Shoppers

DULUTH, Minn. — Mother’s Day is just around the corner. Before the rush begins, a local flower shop is prepared with interesting arrangements and gifts.

Mother’s Day celebrates the love we have not just for our moms but grandmothers, aunts and other mother figures. One way to make the mothers in our lives feel joyful and appreciated is the gift of flowers. Dunbar Floral & Gifts General Manager Amy Skogstad is a former chef and put down her cooking knives and picked up scissors for flowers instead. She says Mother’s Day customers are ready for the bursts of bright color that only Spring can bring. One particular flower is the top pick.

“Roses, a lot of roses are going. A lot of bright spring colors, tulips, lilies are a big seller, anything spring,” said Skogstad.

The flowers can be arranged in rustic or shiny pots that combine green plants and flowers for an eye-catching display. Ribbons and other design elements can be added. Dunbar carries additional gift items like painted mugs, and unique kitchen specialty items. The florist shop has been a mainstay in the area for over 30 years. After their 4th street location burned down, they moved to the Chester Park neighborhood. Skogstad says the shop is open Thursday through Saturday until 5pm. And for those last-minute shoppers… yes, they do deliver.
