The evolution of Zazzy'z from florist to coffee house - Southwest Virginia Today

Virginia and Tennessee. For a few years after marrying his wife, Betsy, White lived at Virginia Beach, Virginia, where he served as a school teacher at Kempsville and Bayside. Then, starting in 1978, White became a dentist in Abingdon for 27 years and boasted thousands of patients.Today, this Abingdon resident occasionally still answers to “Zazzy.”In fact, that nickname showed up on signs when White opened a store in Abingdon after retiring from dentistry in 2005.White owns Zazzy’z. It’s a coffeehouse located in what was also once primarily a bookstore in what was also once White’s dental offices in the early 2000s.Before that, this circa-1880s home was a florist. Oh, yes — it was also a dress shop. “And somebody told me there was a restaurant here one time,” White said. “I don’t ever remember it. If it was, it wasn’t open long.”These days, it’s common to find patrons getting a caffeine fix inside this handsome structure, located at 380 E. Main St.For a few years after opening, White seriously dabbled in book selling. Zazzy’z hosted signings and readings. But, White said, “The book business is a hard business.”Barely, the book business survived the Great Recession. But, over time, the bookshelves at Zazzy’z grew less crowded. Competition from online sellers like Amazon plus Bristol’s Books-a-Million location, in turn, prompted White to downsize his space for books.Today, he sells a few local titles, largely on consignment.Mostly, though, books are a side item. “And, you know,... http://www.swvatoday.com/news/article_c35fc501-5939-5b2b-9c12-59d1f802ef45.html

Flowers Done Green - local flower shop keeps it unexpected - Volume One

Valley.“We don’t have to always go looking to the exotic to find something exceptionally beautiful. We’re celebrating what’s beautiful about Wisconsin.” – Sarah Lambert, Hive & Hollow“What I’m trying to do that’s different is having all of my flowers sourced as locally as possible,” Sarah said.  In the spring and summer that means using supplies from her own greenhouse and garden and supporting local flower growers.  When the winter months restrict local options to willow branches, pine cones, and evergreens, rather than ordering carnations and roses from Central American farms, she brings out the best of the seasonal options, accentuating them with plants from a Minnesota greenhouse.“We don’t have to always go looking to the exotic to find something exceptionally beautiful,” Sarah said.  “We’re celebrating what’s beautiful about Wisconsin.”Sarah is also celebrating sustainability through her choices in product.  She recalls a conversation with a fellow florist from ten years ago, when her coworker expressed concern the effect of floral industry chemicals on fertility.  Before then, she hadn’t realized the proliferation of carcinogenic chemicals in pesticides and plastics associated with flower arranging.  Sarah aims to carry as many organic, recycled, and locally grown products as possible to avoid negative environmental impact.Many of Sarah’s arrangements are presented in thrifted tins, glassware, and pots.  On a recent Friday, she placed a bridal bouqu... https://volumeone.org/articles/2018/11/28/27005_flowers_done_green

Appletons Memorial Florists to diversify by growing hemp - Appleton Post Crescent

There's literally no way you can get high off hemp," said Rob Richard, senior director of governmental relations at the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation in Madison. Nevertheless, hemp was outlawed as a crop in Wisconsin in 1970, squashing Wisconsin's hemp growing industry.  "Wisconsin has a long history of growing hemp and was the top producer in the country from the 30s to the 50s," said Richard.  The state Legislature passed a law in November 2017 to allow farmers to grow industrial hemp once again.  While legal to grow, Richard said farmers are keeping an eye on a federal 2018 farm bill, yet to be signed, that gives them more incentive. "It clears up any misinterpretation or legal interpretation of what hemp is. It will be a crop. It removes it from the controlled substances act," Richard said. "It makes it eligible for crop insurance, so it takes away some of the risk."  Richard sees hemp as a good option for Wisconsin farmers. "Our farmers are going through a rough time because commodity prices and milk prices are taking a beating. This is one avenue for farmers to hopefully make some profit on a crop."  Besides Front Range, a number of other companies offering seeds and "clones" or tissue cuttings for propagating plants are starting in the state. "They're looking at Wisconsin because we're No. 2 in available organic acreage. Organics are where a lot of the profitability is," he said.    Front Range leased one of Memorial's 15,400-square-foot greenhouses to grow tiny hemp plants — in much the same way greenhouses grow bedding or pack plants for home gardeners — that it will sell to Wisconsin farmers for planting in the fields. The operation will add eight full-time jobs.  Memorial Florists' traditional floral and greenhouse operations will continue in the remainder of its 40,000-square-foot facility.  That means home gardeners, decorators, brides, funerals and those looking for the business' better quality plants will ... https://www.postcrescent.com/story/news/2018/12/04/appletons-memorial-florists-greenhouses-signs-deal-grow-hemp/2201857002/
