Unless you have a green thumb, you probably haven't been seeing much flowers and greenery from being cooped up at home.
Want to brighten up your house or home office with blooms but don't have the time to head to the florist or plant nursery? Flower subscriptions could be your answer.
They have been around for a long time. If you haven't tried one out, now might be just the right time.
With varying subscription plans, various florists around Singapore send lush bouquets of flowers right to your doorstep.
If you are looking to add a constant pop of colour to your home during this period, below are some florists that offer this service.

Dawn Q. Floral Design offers flower subscriptions for not just arrangements, but for specific flowers as well.

Prices range from $80 to $150 for three deliveries depending on the flowers chosen. Find out more here.
