The society started in 1910, but the park system plan goes back to 1907 when the Olmsted Brothers firm — the brothers’ father, Frederick Law Olmsted, designed Central Park in New York City and was the most renowned landscape architect of his day — rolled out a plan that would eventually lead to the establishment of Beaver, Vest Pocket, Denny, Dorsey, Sunset and Triangle parks, as well as the Herb Garden.Flowers brighten Broadway, Saranac Lake, in front of the village parking lot beside Berkeley Green.(Enterprise photo — Aaron Cerbone) “VIS has always had these beauty spots, and then it started being, ‘Let’s take it to the streets. Let’s take it out of these parks. Let’s see what we can do downtown,” Kathy said. As the plants branched out along the streets, connecting park to park, they were initially met with drunken opponents, pulling out flowers after late nights out, but the Steinbruecks said that nuisance resolved itself eventually. “Vandalism was a terrible problem in the beginning,” Roger said. “But the last few years have been good.” Roger said this year was perfect for flowers: some rain and lots of sun.–Who’s behind the flowers– Other local nurseries also provide flowers for the other parks and gardens in Saranac Lake. The Riverside Park garden, around the veterans memorial, is paid for by the Veterans Memorial Association, Veterans of Foreign Wars, VFW Auxiliary, American Legion, American Legion Auxiliary and Sons of American Legion, planted by Nancy Hurteau and maintained by the village. There are four entry sign gardens, paid by the village and planted and maintained by VIS. The Star Garden at the World War I memorial on the corner of River and Church streets is paid for by the village, maintained by volunteer Chuck Van Anden and planted with Scott’s Florist flowers by VIS. The triangle at River Street and Lake Flower Avenue (by NBT Bank), the garden beside the Rusty Nail on Broadway at Bloomingdale Avenue and the Harrietstown corner barrel are all paid, planted and maintained by VIS.

Candlelight vigil planned for slain Colorado mother with Clifton roots

Shanann Rzucek when she lived in Clifton and attended School 11, was 15 weeks pregnant when she and her daughters, Celeste, 4, and Bella, 3, were killed about three weeks ago in Frederick, Colorado.  Chris Watts, 33, Shanann's husband and father to the girls, was charged with nine counts of felony in the deaths of his wife and daughters. He is being held pending a November court appearance. Liguori said that when she heard the news about Watts' killing in Colorado, it sent a shiver through her. As she watched the reports about Shanann Watts unfold, it became increasingly personal.  "With so many people following the story, everyone was crushed," Liguori said.  More: Colorado man arrested in deaths of daughters, pregnant wife from Passaic More: Former 'Cosby Show' actor quits job at Clifton Trader Joe's after being 'job-shamed' After learning of the family's fate, Liguori said she watched as vigils were held in Colorado. Given the family's Clifton and New Jersey connections she decided to post on social media the idea of a local vigil.  "We really wanted to let the family know that everyone is thinking of them," she added.  Robin Gibson, Bev Kutcher Mannina and Jennifer Magill-Azquetam joined the vigil-planning effort.  ... https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/passaic/clifton/2018/09/04/vigil-set-slain-colorado-mom-clifton-nj/1189312002/

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/

Meet Toronto’s florist to the stars - Toronto Star

Not too much fuss.”“I have my war wounds,” Pellegrino said at one point, showing his hands again. “If you see a florist with lovely hands, be suspicious …”“… like seeing a skinny chef!” Gibson snarked from his playful peanut gallery.Since so much of esthetic these days is, indeed, informed by Instagram — particularly in the wedding planning sector — I had to ask what do brides to be, in particular, get wrong? He essentially says that flowers in real life sometimes do not translate in photos and vice-versa, that “not all flowers are going to do what you think they are going to do.”He would suggest being wary of hydrangeas for a wedding day, for example, especially if it is going to be a long day. “Hydrangeas will show you very quickly that they are unhappy.”In terms of trends gone rogue, he mentions the wedding craze for blue roses (not found in nature) that happened about eight years ago. In various cases, the blue dye from the roses started to bleed into various brides’ dresses and Pellegrino remembers some suppliers asking them to sign a release that these roses were being bought at their own risk. “Because brides were going about suing florists!”We veer often into another big development in the Ontario flower scene: the effect that the cannabis boom is having on traditional flower growers. “A lot of the old-timers are selling their operations” to marijuana growers, he says, taking advantage of premium prices and/or once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to shift over a family business that a younger generation might not be so into.Pellegrino reckons about 20 per cent of his suppliers have got out of the flower business and this is having broad consequences: losing a well established know-how as well as access to product. A lot more flowers have to be trucked, in other words, in some cases from such far-flung places as Ecuador. Having literally been born into this business of the earth — his clan has an olive-growing business back in Calabria and his immediate family had a horticulture business and, by age 9, he was shovelling manure into bags — he knows his stuff. But one had to ask: what is his favourite bud? He leads me to a particular bucket with the gleam of a man who has never become jaded about botany: “Look at these! Dahlias are so playful … and so intriguing. Overall, one of my favourite … in the way they present themselves.” Moving to another corner, he strokes some orchids: “Look at the backs of these.” His eyes are aglow.Making like the philosopher he is in many ways, Pellegrino sums up things this way: “Flowers start to die when you cut them from the root. You have them, for what six, seven, days, whatever the time is … so you have to capture them, like life itself.”Shinan Govani is a freelance columnist based in Toronto covering culture and society.
