The 'Farmer Florist' is the Northwest's Newest Bumper Crop - Seattlemag

Matt Dillon’s team at the café.Kelly Sullivan, owner of the South Seattle-based Botanique floral design studio, may just epitomize the term “urban farmer.” The former professional modern dancer started gardening in her backyard as a hobby 10 years back, crafting the occasional bouquet for a friend, and created her first cutting garden five years ago. As requests mounted, she launched her wedding floral design business.Specializing in organic, whimsical arrangements that are full of movement (no surprise given her dancing background), Sullivan grows garden roses, dahlias, hydrangeas, cosmos, clematis vines and other flora in the 800-square-foot cutting garden behind her Seward Park home. Since Sullivan operates with limited space, flowers are grown for specific purposes and according to season, rather than in large quantities of any given flower type; whatever she doesn’t grow herself she sources from the Seattle Wholesale Growers Market. “What we grow is dictated exclusively by what we love and what we can’t get elsewhere,” she explains. The floral design studio offers periodic workshops; attendees spend a delightful afternoon plucking their own blooms from the cutting garden and learning the ins and outs of floral design.Sullivan finds that nowadays her clients are asking more questions about where their flowers come from and that the lush, organic look many of them are hoping for is naturally suited to the blooms grown in the Northwest. “People are becoming more aware of locally grown flowers and what that means, even compared to five years ago,” she says. “It’s a movement, for sure.”... http://seattlemag.com/home-and-garden/farmer-florist-northwests-newest-bumper-crop

Ask LaFleur: How is the money for my South Carolina wildflower license plate spent?

The focus is broader now, but funds raised by the plates still go exclusively toward beautification projects through the Highway Beautification Fund, according to the South Carolina Department of Transportation website.  A state law that dates back to 1990 mandates that the fund may only be used for landscaping, wildflower planting, scenic easements or other highway enhancement projects. Eligible projects include wildflower planting, gateway projects, landscaping and bike or pedestrian paths, according to DOT. Ask LaFleur: When will Greenville glass recycling begin? Rubbing alcohol challenge: What made the South Carolina case more dangerous? Brian Keys, deputy secretary for finance and administration for DOT, said the department is currently working to finalize an agreement with the South Carolina Department of Parks and Tourism specifically for beautification projects tied directly to welcome centers across South Carolina.  The fee for the "Keep It Beautiful" plate is $54 for two years. It's available to all South Carolina residents. More than 12,000 of the tags have been purchased, according to DOT, and the tag is one of the state's most popular specialty plates.
