DARIEN, CT — Nielsen's Florist & Garden Shop will host a holiday shopping event to benefit Darien EMS – Post 53 on Thursday, Nov. 19, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at 1405 Post Road in Darien.

The event will feature Nielsen’s winter displays, live entertainment and a holiday flower bar where guests can create arrangements with seasonal blooms. Wine and cheese will be served.

Attendees will receive a 10 percent discount on purchases that evening, and a portion of Nielsen’s sales will benefit Post 53’s volunteer-run emergency medical services. The event will also include a raffle.

Tickets are $25 per person, with all ticket proceeds benefiting Post 53.

"We’re incredibly grateful to Nielsen’s and the Darien community for their continued generosity," said Post 53 Executive Director Joe Larcheveque in a news release. "Support from events like this helps our high school and adult EMTs continue providing exceptional emergency care to Darien residents, 24 hours a day, seven days a week."

Raya Ward, general manager at Nielsen’s Florist & Garden Shop, added, "We’re delighted to partner with Post 53 once again for this special holiday tradition. It’s a wonderful opportunity to bring the community together, celebrate the season and support an organization that does so much for Darien."
