LA's Flower District Reopens In Time For Mother's Day
The wholesalers at LA's Flower District are back in business this week just as florists prepare to reopen to make the most of Mother's Day.
LOS ANGELES, CA — Just in time for Mother's Day, LA's flower district was allowed to reopen this week, under certain circumstances, because the wholesale distributors are exempt from the state's COVID-19 orders as agricultural businesses.
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said the flower markets are being monitored and they could be shut down if they do not follow the city's social distancing guidelines.
Mother's Day is Sunday, which is regarded as one of the busiest times of the year for florists.
