Noakes. “It always surprises me, every time I do this kind of thing, how much of an emotional impact it is.”He adds the two songs will be a barbershop medley of Let Me Call You Sweetheart and Part Of My Heart.Slow No Tempo is going one step further and donating all the proceeds to a non-profit. Mustard Seed New Life Community is this year’s charity of choice, notes Noakes, and the idea is to pick a new organization each year.When asked about how much money the group hopes to raise, Noakes hadn't thought about it.“I don’t have a specific number in mind. I just want to be busy all day,” he says, pointing to the 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. schedule. “There’s nothing like spending your entire day driving around town and telling people they’re loved.”To order a singing Valentine, call Noakes at 250-318-2978 or email slownotempo@gmail.com. Orders must be in place by 7 p.m. on Feb. 13.

Indoor plants bring green goodness - Visalia Times-Delta

Let the soil dry out between watering, then thoroughly water around the root zone. You can easily propagate by simply dividing the plant at the roots and re-pot.Design tips: Create a unique medley of Sansevieria in your home to show off the variety of characteristics.There are dozens of varieties to choose from, my current favorites are Moonshine, Black Gold, and Black Coral. Moonshine has a relatively wide leaf with a slight wave to it and dominant light gray/silver tone.This variety stays under 24” high making it a great choice for mass planting in an oversized pot. Black Gold will give you the traditional Snake Plant look with its tall, vertical, slender leaves.Maturing to 24” to 36” high these are an eye-catching statement piece because their bright yellow edging contrasts dramatically to the deep green, almost black center of their leaves.Black Coral has a unique silver marking that runs horizontally up the deep green leaves. Maturing to 36” to 48” in height create a space where the stature can be appreciated.Take advantage of their natural vertical growing habit by planting them in a narrow columnar container. This is a great way to add greenery to corners that other houseplants would encroach on.Staghorn Ferns have three distinct parts. The “antlers” – the green leaves emerging from the root ball, the “shield fronds” – rounded leaves that harden over time to protect the roots, and the roots. (Photo: Submitted)... http://www.visaliatimesdelta.com/story/life/home-garden/2017/03/31/indoor-plants-bring-green-goodness/99827058/

Royer's Flowers and Gifts CEO talks about returning to the family business - Reading Eagle

The only thing I buy from the U.S. is some of our greens that we use to make arrangements. We get stuff from the west coast, the northwest of the United States, and we get some stuff from Florida. In the summer, we use a lot of locally grown flowers, like sunflowers. There's an Amish family that we've worked with for like 15 years that grows a lot of our sunflowers that we use during the summer. We don't get any greenhouse-grown flowers anymore."BW: How often do you or someone from Royer's travel out of the country to inspect flowers? TR: "At least two or three times a year. I go to all the farms that I buy roses from to go inspect them. While they're in the process of cutting them, harvesting them, I'm there seeing what they're doing to make sure that the cut point on the rose is right: it's not too far open, it's not too tight, I check on the head size to make sure the size of the flower is the right number of centimeters and also to make sure they're fresh. After I do that inspection, I'm there for two or three days, and then I fly into Miami where we fly our flowers and they clear customs there, and I inspect them again to make sure everything is OK, then we load them on our refrigerated trucks to ship them up here to Pennsylvania."BW: How has the internet changed the flower business? TR: "I would say about half of our business runs through the internet. It's been very helpful for us for communication and showing people what we have. One of the biggest issues we had at Valentine's Day before the advent of the internet, we couldn't handle the volume of business on Valentine's Day because we didn't have enough infrastructure to be able to deal with it. We needed 100 phone lines instead of 12. We just didn't have enough structure. People waited until the last minute. It's been a wonderful thing."BW: Are there any plans for additional Royer's locations? TR: "We're always looking at potential growth through acquisition. There are always things out there that we're aware of, nothing that I can report. We're always looking to grow."BW: Do you think your grandparents would have ever imagined the company would get as big as it is? TR: "No. My dad told me when he was younger he wanted to be the largest florist in Lebanon County. Back then, there was a lot of flower shops in Lebanon. It was very competitive. There was a lot of really good family businesses that were florists. It was a constant struggle with competition, but he eventually realized his goal of being the largest florist in Lebanon County and now we're probably the largest florist in the country because of our size. They never had an idea that it would grow to the size it is today."BW: Are you indeed the largest florist in the country? TR: "I'm pretty sure about that, because I know all the biggest florists in the country, and we're bigger than all of them. Grocery store chains sell a lot more flowers than I do by sheer numbers. But a traditional retail flower shop, we're the largest in the country."— Interview by Brad RhenFYIAge: 63Residence: Hummelstown, Dauphin CountyEducation: Penn State, 1977, business; Lebanon High School, 1973Work History: After college worked at a Whataburger in Texas for two years.
