F.C. Florist Sends Bouquets to Congresswomen Targeted by Trump - Falls Church News Press

Born in the Soviet Union-controlled Uzbekistan, Rabinovich and her family traversed through multiple countries before finally getting clearance to come to the U.S. She would grow up in the New Jersey/New York area, earning her citizenship by the time she was 16 and would later go on to get her degree in visual merchandising and interior design. AdvertisementsHer first job was working in a flower shop, an occupation that was always seen as a fallback for Rabinovich whenever she was in between gigs. She later realized she enjoyed working in flower shops more than any other job and started her own business out of her apartment in Arlington. Rabinovich wound up purchasing Galleria Florist in July 2015 when searching for a production space to operate out of, and last December she became an owner of Nosegay Flowers in Washington, D.C. — a former employer of hers.She re-emphasized that the flowers were merely a show of goodwill, but did add a general message to all Americans that, “The U.S. is a melting pot. It stands for inclusivity, not exclusivity. That’s what’s going to keep us going; diversity and the knowledge our immigrants bring to the country.”Share this:Comments comments... https://fcnp.com/2019/07/31/f-c-florist-sends-bouquets-to-congresswomen-targeted-by-trump/

Steamboat florist moves to Lincoln Avenue location with hopes of growing already blossoming business - Steamboat Pilot & Today

Jordan said. “It is such a fantastic space, I just want to bring people together here in a creative way.”Jordan’s love of working with flowers goes back to where she grew up in New Jersey, just outside of New York City, on Linden Lane. She said her mother enjoyed hosting large family dinners and always encouraged her to explore the well-groomed, flower-filled yard to create floral arrangements for the table’s centerpiece.After graduating from college, Jordan spent several years pursuing a career using her sustainability degree but said she didn’t love it. She entertained the idea of pursuing a culinary degree and got a job at a flower shop while waiting to get into school.It was a decision that led her back to her love of flowers. She eventually moved to Steamboat Springs, and in 2017, founded Linden Co. Floristry — named after the street where she grew up.“We just had the best yard with magnolia and camellia trees,” Jordan said. “That’s where I learned to forage and bring the outside in for table settings.“Flowers might just be one the happiest things you can sell,” Jordan added.Visit Linden Co.
