10-Foot Floral Butterfly Sculptures Land Across SF
In hopes of getting you to flutter about town for Small Business Week, the SF Flower Mart has installed giant butterfly sculptures made of flowers in key retail corridors all over town.
A couple weeks back, Mayor Breed declared a Small Business 30-Day Challenge wherein we are implored to not buy anything from the Amazons, Targets, and mass retailers of the world, and instead only shop at local small businesses for the month of May. And as we metamorphose back into creatures who go outside and socialize again, the San Francisco Flower Mart is sweetening the deal, by placing 10-foot-wide floral butterfly sculptures around town to get you to fly around to your local retailers on this Small Business Week.
