Summer is underway, and that means before long it will be time to celebrate Independence Day. July 4th is not only a national tradition, it is a Sarasota tradition – with iconic events, traditional parades, and popular fireworks displays. If you are having a party, Beneva is the best place locally to get the patriotic flowers and festive decor you need.

Don’t Forget: If you are heading off to a friends place for the celebration, patriotic arrangements make excellent hostess gifts that will add spirit to any gathering! You may also wish to honor a veteran with a beautiful tribute.
