Spring has sprung! (Almost.) We finally say goodbye to winter this month and, if your Royal Athena apartment has been a haven for hibernation all winter, as you cozied up on the couch with Netflix, you’re definitely not alone. But now’s the time to turn off the TV, fling open the windows and start the spring cleaning. And what better way to get in the mood than by transforming your apartment with spring’s most colorful (and fragrant!) addition: flowers!

While you can easily grab a bouquet of roses at the nearby convenience store, your Royal Athena apartment is also right near one of the area’s longest-running and most-award winning flower shops. Long Stems has served the Main Line and Philadelphia for more than 30 years, offering a wide range of fresh flowers, expertly designed and presented.

No matter your vision for your space, you can get suited at Long Stems, which features any bud and color you could want. Peruse pre-made bouquets, planters, centerpieces and table arrangements in the shop or get creative and work with a designer to come up with your own specialized pieces. Along with the extensive floral collection, Long Stems also has a popular plant department, with expert staff who can advise on the best type of indoor plants that will thrive during the spring.

While shoppers can rely on the talented staff at Long Stems for advice, the store also shares that knowledge with a series of design classes. So if you really want to get into the spirit of the season, sign up for a class and learn how to create arrangements that will have your apartment looking its best.

Long Stems is only two miles from your Royal Athena apartment, so it’s a cinch to go and grab your selections, but if you really want to treat yourself, the shop also delivers—and even offers weekly and monthly regular delivery!
