Blooming gas prices force tough choices for Florida florists ahead of Mother’s Day

 As gas prices continue to rise, small businesses that rely on deliveries are being forced to make tough decisions just to keep costs manageable. At Betty J’s Florist in Winter Garden, higher prices at the pump are creating new challenges ahead of Mother's Day. This year, she will have to limit deliveries. “Our drivers are going to be spending probably the week of Mother’s Day a $1,000 or more in gas prices,” Jackson said.
