A new addition to our site - the Todich Floral Design product gallery

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

We’ve been working in the past weeks to enhance your experience on our site. Among the many planned additions to the content on our site, we are happy to announce the release of the Todich Floral Design product gallery, which contains all the products we offer as part of our services. With no particular order or categorisation, you are free to browse all the product images. In case you like a particular design, please jot down its unique identification code (shown under each image) and give it to us when you contact us.

This is by no means the end of development in this area. There are efforts being taken to improve this part of the site even further to allow you to use quite a sophisticated interface to let us know which designs and products you are interested in. Stay tuned!

Additionally, we are preparing some additional and informative content as well, especially for the weddings section, so look for an announcement about this very soon.

Ask your plants what they are doing?

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

bcalls_twitter_setup_cellph.jpgEver heard of Botanicalls? These guys were the ones who introduced a way to make phone calls to plants in order to find out how they are doing, whether they need more or less water. No, seriously, they did it. There are even samples of various responses from different types of plants for requests like “need water”, or “notification of unnecessary watering”.

Well, they’ve gone a bit further this time, and introduced a way to use the popular micro-blogging service Twitter. Yes, plants can now actually twitter their “feelings” in real time. Again, the idea is the same - know when your plant needs water, or has too much of it and take action accordingly.

We at Todich Floral Design have been doing covert SMS mesaging with our plants at various offices around London. Our plants notify us via SMS when our clients talk about us. It took years to train them, from generation to generation, until they got it right. For some reason, they always started SMS-ing each other and everything went crazy…

Okay, joking aside, electronic communication with living plants is not that new. In fact, it’s something that has been researched over decades, and there are indications that plants indeed are able to communicate, as the example above shows. Taking proper care of plants we can all enjoy their presence every day is what we do as professionals, but technological advancements that would make this easier are always welcome.

How about you? Would you twitt with your plants?

A Baltic Christmas in London

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

image_0851n_1.jpgWe are always happy to help people organise an event. It makes us feel as though we are a part of something bigger than us, something that will inspire a whole lot of people, and bring a little joy to everyday life.

This year the borough of Newham is home to a special Christmas event called Lithuanian Christmas. In cooperation with the Lithuanian Embassy, this fair is to take place on Meridian Square, starting on December 13. The Lithuanian Embassy has donated to Newham a huge Christmas tree, provided through Todich Floral Design. The tree has been placed in the middle of Meridian Square, to be part of the three day fair.

Newham has one of the most culturally diverse populations in the UK, and the Lithuanian community plays an important role in contributing to the vibrant atmosphere of the borough. This is a formidable opportunity to bring closer Lithuanian culture and tradition to the residents of London. If you are in the neighbourhood, stop by and enjoy the festivities. We are only too happy to have taken a small part in preparing this event.
