Bloomin' Across Texas offers floral services in and around Pflugerville - Community Impact Newspaper

Carlene Wells is the founder of Bloomin’ Across Texas. (via Elizabeth Ucles/Community Impact Newspaper) Almost 30 years ago, Carlene Wells left her corporate career to pursue “something different,” she said. Her next step followed about a year later when she saw a “for sale” sign on a Pflugerville flower shop.With her mother’s help, Wells said she opened Bloomin’ Across Texas in 1992 as a full-service florist for special occasions, sympathy, gift items and more. Eleven years later, Wells opened a second location in Cedar Park.The business is first and foremost a family affair, Wells said. Her sons have worked at the shop, and when Wells’ father faced a serious illness, Bloomin’ Across Texas became a comfortable gathering location for the family to care for him, she said.Over the decades, Wells said Bloomin’ Across Texas has impacted the lives of other local families as well. Some of the shop’s first flowers decorated a wedding. Flowers followed to celebrate the birth of the couple’s children, and later their proms and weddings.“We’ve... https://communityimpact.com/austin/round-rock-pflugerville-hutto/business/2019/05/14/bloomin-across-texas-offers-floral-services-in-and-around-pflugerville/

How to Get Flowers in the Foyer—If You Don’t Have a Butler - The Wall Street Journal

Ford, where she started out as the designer’s personal assistant. “Ranunculus,” she says. “I bought them myself.” Many of the recipients, who included Alexandra Shulman, then editor of British Vogue; Elizabeth Saltzman of Vanity Fair; and Natalie Massenet, founder of the online fashion retailer Net-a-Porter, posted pictures on Instagram. Bromberg Hawkings’s business boomed. “It soon became clear that we needed a second van, a better website. We could see the names in the back end, celebrities and duchesses, and we were like, Shit, this is serious,” she says. The company is based in a warehouse park, next to a graveyard, in the London area of North Acton. By 9 a.m. one early spring morning, it’s been five hours since that day’s flowers arrived by truck from the Netherlands, and the Flowerbx team has already sorted them, wrapped them in brown paper and boxed them up for delivery. Bromberg Hawkings, a 44-year-old Texan who has lived in London for 15 years, steps over the flotsam of the morning’s work—torn foliage and snipped ribbon—in her black-velvet Gucci loafers. “I didn’t know that flowers were Instagrammable,” she says. Another thing she hadn’t anticipated was being asked to do events, the first being to fill London’s River Cafe restaurant with peonies for a Michael Kors launch. More recently, for a Louis Vuitton dinner in Versailles, Flowerbx created a 46-foot-long floral “chandelier” from jungle foliage and orchids; another project found Bromberg Hawkings arranging 35,000 hydrangeas on the facade of the London nightclub Annabel’s at 2 a.m. Five months after launching Flowerbx, Bromberg Hawkings sought further investment. One of the first people she approached was Massenet, who had just left Net-a-Porter. “Immediately I said I would love to invest in the company, because this was something that resonated with me from the get-go,” says Massenet. Flowerbx was the first company that Massenet personally invested in, three years before she co-founded the venture capital fund Imaginary. “Up until then I had been skeptical about people’s ability to deliver on risky ideas,” Massenet says. “Havin... https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-to-get-flowers-in-the-foyerif-you-dont-have-a-butler-11556800089

Linglestown Garden Club turns 75 - PennLive.com

Extension – then called the Agricultural Extension Service of Pennsylvania State University – was instrumental in starting the Linglestown club as well as several others in the county.Smith says Elizabeth Trogdon, the home economist assigned to Dauphin County during and shortly after the war years, happened to like gardening and encouraged communities to found clubs.In Linglestown, Teddy Gardener (appropriately named) was the founding president in May 1944. She, along with Ann Deibler, Violet Habecker, and Anna Milliken, were the four founding members.The purpose then (and now) was to stimulate interest in floriculture, horticulture, and conservation. As with most clubs, members also were interested in beautifying the community. During the 1940s and ’50s, the Linglestown club held annual harvest contests, vying for recognition for the biggest and best plant specimens and for the best homemade canned goods.Perhaps the biggest appeal for members, though, was education – a chance to glean information from experienced gardeners and maybe share a few plants.That’s still a key component of meetings today. Most meetings center around interesting plants, tips on growing, tips on arranging flowers, and details on different gardening techniques.Says Smith: “One new member joined because she said, ‘I like flowers, and I like gardening, but I’m dumb about it. I’m here to learn.'"The Linglestown Garden Club will mark its 75th anniversary on May 8, with a celebration luncheon at the fire company.Lewisburg florist Chuck Chatham will be the guest speaker doing a demonstration of floral arrangements that will then be gifts to the club.Nine past presidents of the club also will be in attendance.Most members are from in and around Linglestown, but that’s not a requirement. Anyone can join – including men. In its 75 years, Smith said, the club has never had one as a member.Male or otherwise, if you’re interested in joining the Linglestown club, more information is available from current President Edie Weistling at 717-545-5878 or from any member. https://www.pennlive.com/gardening/2019/05/linglestown-garden-club-turns-75.html

Richard Rico: A bouquet for the Rose - TheReporter.Com

Main St. shop next to McCune Garden Chapel closed Dec. 31 for the last time. If it looks like a cottage, it’s because it was—for years the home of mortician Del McCune, wife Elizabeth and their daughter Barbara. They built it in 1938, the same year they bought the funeral home. They moved out in 1956 and converted it into the shop begun by John and Rose Lopez—it’s named after her. Rose is now 92. John died several years ago, at 84, leaving a lifetime trail of rose petals behind him. Their daughter Janet Lopez Balcom took over the shop in 1990, with a hand up from husband Curtis, for 31 years a fleet manager for Solano County. The family opened Rose Florist in Fairfield, managed by Janet’s brother, David, and his wife Juanita. The family roots run deep here; siblings and Papa John graduated Vaca High; Rose, from Winters High. It’s as hometown as it gets. It’s a picture of kids who helped out at the shop, most likely after school; a kind of mom-and-pop that blossomed and smelled of lavender. Fairfield Rose will continue as Janet retires to take care of her mom, Original Rose. Barbara McCune owns the Garden Chapel, Milton Carpenter Funeral Home in Dixon, and the florist cottage. She hopes for another flower tenant, a perfect fit for 62 years. McCune has been serving generations for 80 years.

Man Says Indianapolis Florist Denied Him Service Over Gay Marriage - Newsweek

Many people in the LGBT community feared that the law could be used to discriminate against people for their sexual orientation, The Indiana Star reported.In June, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a Colorado baker had the constitutional right to deny service to a gay couple in 2012 because of his religious beliefs. The owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, Jack Phillips, refused to sell a wedding cake to Charlie Craig and David Mullins, a gay couple. The couple filed a complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Commission and claimed Phillips was discriminating against the two based on their sexual orientation. Phillips said he wouldn’t sell them the cake due to his religious beliefs. The Supreme Court sided with Phillips, saying "the reason and motive for the baker's refusal were based on his sincere religious beliefs and convictions."This story has been updated to include comment from David Elliott. .node-type-article .article-body p:last-of-type::after, .node-type-slideshow .article-body p:last-of-type::after{content:none}... https://www.newsweek.com/man-denied-service-florist-gay-marriage-1040569

Floral design and gift shop is Colorado Springs native's dream - Colorado Springs Gazette

During a recent break from her corporate job to care for an ailing family member, Colorado Springs native Cathy Berdon had a change of heart about going back to the office. She decided, after a lot of soul searching, to instead pursue her lifelong dream of owning her own business.On June 30, she opened Carriage House Designs, 723 N. Nevada Ave., a full-service florist and gift shop.The charming 1899 house she bought probably was never a carriage house, but the name hearkens back to Berdon's childhood, when she and her siblings played in a friend's carriage house in the Old North End - not far from her new shop. "I just love this part of town. It's a great location," she said. "From here we can attract students from Colorado College and residents from the North End. We also have a ton of clients from Mountain Shadows, Peregrine and The Broadmoor neighborhoods."Berdon said she knew a downtown or shopping center site wouldn't be right for her vision. She sought out the quaint multi-room home with a large re... https://gazette.com/life/floral-design-and-gift-shop-is-colorado-springs-native-s/article_480fe80d-37e6-515c-b78d-de049d4293f6.html
