Steuber, 80, floral artist at local business - The Beverly Review

You were always looked upon to help the family business,” Scot said. “It was like all for one and one for all.”About 10 years ago, due to her health, Carol moved to a townhome in Midlothian, her family said. Another generation of Steubers now lives in the apartment above the shop, and they’re now fondly remembering the family matriarch.After her death, the marquee outside Steuber Florist read, “Mom, We will miss you forever and ever.” A block or so away, at a neighboring Kean gas station, its marquee read, “God Bless Mrs. Steuber. Rest in Peace.”Laura called her mother a selfless woman who was dedicated to her family and put others’ needs before her own.“She always took care of herself last,” Laura said, “if there was time.”Steuber is survived by her husband, Bernard; her children, Bernie A. (Sharon), Scot (Kathryn) and Laura Doody (Randy Deckinga); her grandchildren, Melissa (Paul) Johnson, Bernie, Chelsea and Hailey (fiance Will Givens) Steuber, and Rachel, Erin and Kyle Doody; her great-grandchildren, Landon, Cooper and Johnson; and many nieces and nephews.A celebration of Steuber’s life was held Aug. 14 at Midlothian Country Club with family and friends in attendance.Donnellan Funeral Home handled the arrangements. http://www.beverlyreview.net/news/article_fdeb8974-693f-11e6-8d1f-c79438325b2e.html

There will be around 40 in the town centre.“Ten or 11 businesses are going to get brackets to put them up.“We have identified where they will be going.“Penicuik First are paying for it all, from the levy that the businesses are paying.“We are trying to improve the look of the town centre.“Once they are up that should be a decent display of flowers around the centre of town, just making it more welcoming.”Councillor Rosie was also happy to reveal some more exciting work by Penicuik First. He said: “The other thing we are looking to do is get anchors built into the ?precinct to hold down the stalls for the market.“This will mean the market can go ahead in any weather. So we won’t have to have it in the town hall when it’s windy. It will always be outside. This way it retains the footfa... http://www.midlothianadvertiser.co.uk/news/flower-baskets-to-brighten-up-penicuik-1-4160445

Horticulture expert brings floral design class to ASU - The State Press

Anderson received a master's degree in horticulture, the science and art of growing plants, at Kansas State University and her doctorate in horticulture from Texas A&M University. She also taught classes in floral design at both universities.Anderson will teach a topic course called Wellness in Floral Art for the 2019 spring semester at ASU. The class will focus on how flowers relieve stress and affect the senses. “It’s biophilia, so we’re being connected back to nature, which is where we come from," Anderson said. "Working with plants is a therapy, so not only is it a therapy for me to educate others on floral design as an art form and a stress reliever, (but) it’s also awesome to see other people benefit from it.”  While 90 universities in the U.S. offer bachelor's degrees in horticulture, only two universities offer degrees in floral design according to The Bachelor's Portal. As a result, aspiring floral designers often select horticulture as a major.However, Anderson said an arts background is more valuable for entering the floral design field and modified her horticulture research accordingly. “When I was managing studios in San Diego and Los Angeles, the owners of the studios kept asking me to find florists that had an art background, not a plant science or horticulture background,” Anderson said. “That’s when I got the idea that we need (to) advocate floral design as an art form in order to have a more educated work force.” Anderson also has her own business, The Flori.Culture, in which she teaches floral art classes and creates arrangements for clients. She said she has created arrangements for events hosted by large companies including Cisco and Walgreens.On the website, Anderson runs a blog called The Chlorophyll Chronicle where she discusses "flowers. food. fashion." She also has a YouTube channel, The Flori.Culture, where she shows off arrangements and gives tutorials on how to make them. “If you are interested in floral design, in the aesthetics, then you are probably also interested in food and fashion and even interior design, so I think it all goes hand-in-hand," Anderson said. [embedded content]Katherine Merveille, the owner of Merveille Floral and Design Atelier and a colleague of Anderson, said that Anderson’s extensive... http://www.statepress.com/article/2018/10/spartcult-floral-art-advocate-brings-new-classes-to-asu

Baacks to the future: New owners adding wine, beer option with delivery of flowers, gifts - ReporterNews.com

Dan Harwell purchased the company in 1972, and later his son, Luke, joined the business full-time in 2002 after graduating from Texas Tech University. The younger Harwell eventually took over operations of the family business. Under the new owners, some things remain the same. One fixture is the employees, including a designer who has been at Baack’s for 31 years, Petre said. There also are efforts to revive some former Baack’s traditions, such as a Christmas open house and growing some plants in-house, Petre said. Her brother, Marc Petre, is sprucing up the shuttered greenhouses on the property, she said. At one time, Baack’s was known for cultivating poinsettias, geraniums, Easter lilies, hydrangeas and annual bedding plants, according to the Reporter-News archives. In addition to floral arrangements for all occasions, Baack’s also offers the crafting and delivery of gift boxes around many themes, such as golf, fishing, hunting and tailgating. Packages also can be created for children’s events, baby showers, Father’s Day and other special moments, Petre said. Her goal is to use products from local wineries and chocolatiers to include with her gift options.   Late bloomer Managing a flower and gift shop is a dream come true for Petre, who previously worked as a bartender for 10 years. That experience in the alcohol industry will be a plus with the addition of the wine and beer delivery with Baack's flowers and gift boxes, she said. “I’ve always been artistic and real artsy, and I love making things look pretty,” Petre said. “I always thought that it would be so cool to be able to own a flower shop and to do that every day.” Her previous creative interests include making stylish belt buckles and jewelry out of bones and antlers. She first learned about wine and beer delivery while attending a floral design workshop in Austin several months ago. “I’m 43 years old and I needed a change. I quit my job and this just kind of fell in our laps. I like to call it divine intervention,” Petre said. https://www.reporternews.com/story/money/business/local/2019/01/17/new-abilene-florist-baacks-owners-adding-wine-beer-option-flower-gift-box-delivery/2548924002/
