Cornucopias: A Thanksgiving tradition

A staple Thanksgiving tradition, the cornucopia.

The cornucopia or "horn of plenty" is a symbol of abundance and nourishment, commonly a large horn-shaped container overflowing with produce, flowers, nuts, and other edibles.

It has been used since antiquity as a show of fertility, fortune and abundance that has become a Thanksgiving tradition. It started as a hollowed out ram or sheep horn and has changed over the years into a hollowed out woven basket.  

At Janda Florist we offer cornucopias spilling with abundant autumn flowers and accents. We can even color coordinate it to your home decor. Looking for an extra flourish? We excel at the "little extras."
