The Niagara Floral Center and Greenhouse at Opportunities Unlimited of Niagara is holding a Valentine's Day Floral Sale through January 30 featuring fresh flowers and planters created by people with developmental disabilities who participate in the agency's horticulture therapy program.
Through the Niagara Floral Center & Greenhouse, individuals with developmental disabilities participate in horticulture therapy and training in a professional florist and greenhouse setting. Working with plants promotes dexterity, enhances motor skills and develops socialization. All purchases support this unique program.

Wrapped mixed cut flowers trimmed with Valentine's colors are $12, a dozen boxed red and white carnations are $15 and a "Lasting Beauty" planter featuring greens, Valentine trim and fresh flowers is $20.
