Wilmington florist gears up for busy Valentines Day - WWAY NewsChannel 3

Valentine’s Day, Thursday, this year has many in the industry planning long days.- Advertisement - Dana and Jeff Cook, owners of Wilmington’s Julia’s Florist say that this year looks rosy.“In years past we have battled blizzards and ice storms so this year’s weather forecast was a joy to follow” Jeff Cook said. “With a Thursday Valentine’s Day you have many customers eager to display their flowers on work desks and many others taking advantage of early delivery on Wednesday or taking advantage of our free delivery for Valentines orders with Monday and Tuesday delivery. At Julia’s we are fortunate to have the volume of business allowing us to receive flowers direct from growers and delivered bi-weekly. But the next few scheduled deliveries will be many times our normal size.”Valentine’s Day for florists starts well in advance of the 14 and Jeff said he particularly enjoys following along as the flowers move from big rig trucks to his coolers and then from grower boxes to processing (chopping, separating, dipping) to fresh buckets of water and then to designers before going back to the coolers and to routers and delivery drivers.“Just the whole operation is a fascinating phenomenon that never gets old,” Cook said. “Of course the simple act of giving flowers is something many learn at a young age to never take for granted and owning a ... https://www.wwaytv3.com/2019/02/06/wilmington-florist-gears-up-for-busy-valentines-day/

Walker's Floral Design Studio is the latest addition to downtown Lancaster - Lancaster Eagle Gazette

And I really wanted to take a job and do something completely different than what I was doing. And this is completely different." Hedges is a florist and is Walker's only employee. But Walker said he plans to also hire a delivery person. Once Walker decided what he wanted to do, it didn't take long for the business to open. The process only started on Jan. 19. "I don't like to procrastinate," he said. "So I want things done. Once we got the store, then we went right to work on redesigning the interior." That was followed by ordering product and the store opening. While Walker is focussed on getting his new store running, he's also looking to the future.  "A year from now I would like to see us have a second location," he said. "Keep this location, and I would like to have a second location out east (eastern part of Lancaster). That's my goal at this point in time. "But I love the downtown, especially with the upcoming things we have downtown, and them putting so much effort into the restoration of downtown. So that's the reason I want to keep this place and then look for a place out there." Walker's Floral Design Studio is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday and from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday. The store is closed on Sunday but will see customers that day by appointment only. jbarron@gannett.com 740-681-4340 Twitter: @JeffDBarron... https://www.lancastereaglegazette.com/story/news/local/2018/03/16/walkers-floral-design-studio-latest-addition-downtown-lancaster/424634002/
