Meet the Pandemic Staff
Hello Northland! So much in this world has changed these past couple months with this COVID-19 pandemic, and we are so grateful for all of your continued support. With that being said, we are so excited to announce that during these uncertain times we are starting up our blog again! We will be highlighting everything from past weddings to floral care, and from staff favorites to plant care. To kick start our blog, we wanted to introduce the Saffron and Grey team that has been working behind the scenes to bring you new and exciting treasures.
