The Florists - Martha's Vineyard Times

So our arrangements feel very free and natural and very elegant at the same time. Which is very Vineyard in a nutshell. Marc Cooper, floristMiddletown Gift & Floral Shop680 State Rd., West Tisbury508-696-7600middletownnursery.comWhere do your flowers come from at Middletown?We get cut flowers from Holland, we get local flowers, we get a lot of flowers from Boston. Basically the style of flowers that I like determines where we buy from. I like classical, vintage-looking roses, hydrangeas, mostly big white lilies. I still like to get some tulips in — the parrots and the doubles. Right now we are getting a lot of local items; the sunflowers are big. But many of the flowers that I have you can’t grow here; the quality is not the same. How did you learn the florist trade?For 10 years I had a gift shop in Worcester where we brought in flowers, and I had to learn quickly. My business partner at the time liked doing flowers, then she had a child so could not be in the shop that often. I ended up working with flowers. I learned to do what I wanted to do with them, and c... https://www.mvtimes.com/2019/08/28/the-florists/

Florists hope to see new business bloom - Frederick News Post

Your website says you deliver within a 10-mile radius of downtown Frederick. What are the limits of that range?LG: That goes up to Middletown and down towards Ijamsville.

Entrepreneur forages for wild flowers - Vermont Biz

Nectar and Root, a wedding floral design business in Winooski. She never thought she would be an entrepreneur, but always loved floral design and has since first grade.Growing up in Connecticut drawing bouquets and arranging flowers she found throughout her neighborhood was fun, but it never seemed like it could be a realistic career. When she went to college in upstate New York, she majored in creative writing and often found herself writing about flowers.  After graduation, she worked at a bookstore in Burlington where she spent countless hours reading all the flower-related works the store had to offer. During this time, she knew if she wanted to work in the floral industry she just had to go for it.Photo: Floral arrangement. Courtesy photo.In 2010, she took a class and earned a certificate in Floral Design from the New York Botanical Gardens’ Summer Intensive Program in New York. Temporarily living back home in Connecticut, she started growing flowers and selling them at local farmers markets. At the market, people were always commenting about how much they liked her arrangements and were asking if she did floral arrangements for weddings.  She wanted to pursue the offers, but Nectar and Root at the time was basically a booth at a farmers market. When Ostreicher returned to Vermont, she knew she needed to turn her venture into a legitimate business, so she sought the assistance of Simeon Geigel, a counselor with the Micro Business Development Program in Burlington. With the help of Geigel and the MBDP, Ostreicher learned how to create a business plan, register her business and market her services.“Her growth as a successful entrepreneur has been an evolution. Erin’s willingness to ask questions, seek input, analyze situations and follow her heart has allowed her to take calculated steps forward to grow her business,” said Geigel.For a first few years, she worked out of a small rented studio space on Pine Street in Burlington. As she worked more weddings, she got to know more people in the wedding industry and through word of mouth, her business picked up.  All the while, she was working out of a cramped space that was not ideal for arranging large bouquets of flowers or... https://vermontbiz.com/news/2019/july/04/entrepreneur-forages-wild-flowers

Perspective | This D.C. florist's secret to surviving 114 years and four generations - The Washington Post

Caruso Florist, which was started in Washington in 1903. It is one of Washington’s most durable businesses. I lope with my Tumi backpack east down M Street NW across Connecticut Avenue on a humid August morning in Washington. On the sidewalk in front of me is an eruption of petunias, roses and sunflowers that make me think I am on the way to Emerald City.“It’s so people know we are open,” owner Phil Caruso says as I arrive. Caruso, 86, his fist full of roses, plants himself amid the melange and hands out singles to passersby.“To brighten your day,” he says as he hands a rose to a woman, who performs a balancing act with her coffee thermos and rolled-up newspaper. His Caruso Florist is a Washington institution, a 114-year-old family business that sells $2 million worth of flowers and fruit boxes each year. Caruso products launch some marriages and rescue others. Their flowers celebrate lives well lived. They grace law firms and dentist offices, taking the sting out of both. Their arrangements add pop to hotels, acknowledge a kindness or repair a friendship.Political confidant and lobbyist Jack Valenti was laid to rest amid Caruso flowers. Cuba’s Fidel Castro was hidden from view by Caruso green garlands on a 1959 visit.
