This florist started caring for ailing orchids on the side. He’s now babysitting 13,000. - The Washington Post
Tuesday, April 16, 2019The business is known for boarding customers’ orchids between bloom cycles. Even within Richmond’s redbrick historic neighborhood known as the Museum District, Art Chadwick’s florist’s shop seems like a quaint throwback to an earlier time. A bell chimes as you open the door, and fans swirl below a pressed-tin ceiling. Cymbidiums, cattleyas and other flowering orchids are presented in decorative pots on round tables. Along one wall, a green pleated sofa invites patrons to linger and chat.I am here on a mild Friday afternoon in winter, and a small but steady stream of customers arrive, chatting in relaxed fashion with the proprietor. Chadwick, 56, is dressed casually in a brown cable-knit sweater, and he seems to be a guy comfortable in his own skin, smooth and urbane — in sum, exactly what you might expect in the genteel and luxuriant world of orchids.For all the delight of this little flower shop, I can’t help thinking that it should belong to a time before mass merchandisers (nevermind the Internet) came along and did away with mom-and-pop haberdashers, milliners, green grocers and the like. But Chadwick & Son Orchids is thriving and preparing to expand. To understand why, you have to perch yourself on that green sofa and observe carefully. You will come to see that the customers aren’t just leaving with orchids, they ... https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/home/this-florist-started-babysitting-ailing-orchids-on-the-side-hes-now-boarding-13000/2019/04/03/e5bc550e-3ba1-11e9-a2cd-307b06d0257b_story.html

Sixty-Something: Once Again Spring In The Hamptons Is Here | Community | Community News - Hamptons.com
Tuesday, April 16, 2019I delivered flowers/plants/supplies for the East Hampton Village firm of Wittendale's Florist and Greenhouse. The job was humbling yet fulfilling. Case in point; I would deliver flowers to a home, ring the doorbell and see the joy in the eyes of an old woman getting flowers for her birthday from her son. Then I would deliver van loads of annuals to a Lily Pond Road mansion and be told to unload the vanload of plants/flowers and carry them up and over to a spot 150 yards up a slight hill. The mansion's gardener ate his lunch and walked beside me - never offering to help or even touch a tray of the plants/flowers. After unloading the whole van and carrying them all, he said as he bit into his lunch was, "Don't drive on the lawn." I didn't.I enjoy driving the backroads of the Hamptons in the spring and watching everything come to life as the buds on the trees begin to flower into white, pink, and other budding fruit tree colors. The farm fields also come alive as corn and other crops sprout out of the dark soil along the roads. The sun is brighter, warmer and I enjoy that too. Long walks on the ocean beaches in the spring are great therapy. Springtime in the Hamptons is special. It's time to get my East Hampton beach sticker and to paint my sailboat. It's time to put away the heavy winter coats and find my favorite short pants and tee-shirts. It's time to open the car windows while I drive and breathe that fresh ocean air so many take for granted on the East End. It's wonderful watching the sunsets get later and later every night. Taking after dinner walks with my wife with the golden sunseting light everywhere and feeling the breezes getting warmer every day. I love it.I remember my first spring when I moved out of NYC and lived year-round in East Hampton. It was the sound of those birds chirping just before sunrise that woke me every morning. Everyone hears them. They are a sign of spring's arrival. East End Tick Control The East End's only New York State licensed dedicated tick and mosquito control specialists!
