Best Flowers to Send for Back-to-School or Teacher Appreciation

As students head back to class and school routines pick up, it’s easy to overlook one important detail: our teachers. The people who show up every day with patience, creativity, and care deserve more than a coffee card or last-minute gift.

At Flowers Valley, we believe flowers say it best. Whether it’s for the first week of school, a thank-you after a long day, or a just-because gesture, a simple bouquet goes a long way.

Here’s what we recommend if you’re gifting flowers for back-to-school season or teacher appreciation this fall.


Best Flowers to Gift Teachers

1. Sunflowers

Bright, cheerful, and long-lasting. A symbol of positivity and admiration — perfect for starting the year on a high note.

2. Gerbera Daisies

Colorful and friendly. These blooms bring happiness and are great for informal, vibrant arrangements.

3. Roses (in soft or bold colors)

Pink, peach, or yellow roses show appreciation and warmth without feeling overly formal.

4. Alstroemeria

Also known as Peruvian lilies, these flowers symbolize friendship and commitment — and they last impressively long in a vase.

5. Mixed Seasonal flowers

If you’re unsure what to choose, let us build a “teacher’s pick” with seasonal favorites — available in designer’s choice format.


Why Flowers Make the Perfect Teacher Gift

  • Personal and thoughtful — more impactful than a gift card
  • Brightens up their desk or classroom
  • Easy to customize with a note or small add-on
  • Affordable, yet meaningful

You don’t need to send a dozen roses to make a statement. Even a petite bouquet delivered to their classroom or left in the staff room makes a lasting impression.


Add a Personal Touch

Include:

  • A handwritten card (we’ll write your message by hand)
  • Small add-ons like chocolate or a candle
  • A coordinating school-color ribbon or wrap

Need something custom? We’re happy to create arrangements by grade level, color theme, or delivery schedule.


When to Send

  • First week of school
  • Mid-semester morale boost
  • Parent-teacher conference week
  • Teacher birthdays or class milestones
  • National Teacher Appreciation Day in May (yes, plan early!)
