Florists For Social Justice at Sherman Phoenix - Urban Milwaukee
Sunday, July 05, 2020Calendulas, Ninebark, Colocasia and Rudbeckia (black-eyed Susans). “What we really like about that is that flower symbolizes encouragement,” said the florist about the Rudbeckia.The installation honors Leaders Igniting Transformation (LIT MKE) and the over two dozen minority-owned businesses in the Sherman Phoenix. The marketplace opened in 2018 in a former bank that was damaged in the 2016 Sherman Park unrest.“The entire point of this is to draw attention to LIT Milwaukee or whoever we’re highlighting,” said Rachel Stenman, a goldsmith in the collective.The group formed in 2017 to do three installations and reunited this year to do a Juneteenth day installation outside America’s Black Holocaust Museum.The flowers used in the piece would have otherwise been composted because of the cancellations of weddings and other large events as a result of the pandemic. Vander Wyst estimated the installation would have cost $6,000 at market price.The Sherman Phoenix piece is planned to last through Monday morning. Photos are encouraged.What’s next? The group plans a large one-day installation in August at multiple locations that are either Black-owned businesses or cultural institutions.PhotosMore about the George Floyd ProtestsGroup Repainting Defund Mural, MPD Watches - Urban Milwaukee - Jul 5th, 2020Protest Day 37: Marches, Celebrations, Calls For Justice - Jeramey Jannene - Jul 4th, 2020Rep.

BACK IN TIME: Flowers by Telegraph in Englewood, 1933 - Pascack Press & Northern Valley Press
Sunday, July 05, 2020ENGLEWOOD, N.J.—Years before anyone could go on a florist’s website, browse photos of pre-designed arrangements, and pop in a credit card number, there was a method of ordering that seems pretty foreign to us today—the telegraph. Peter Duff & Sons, an Englewood florist, was a member of the Florists Telegraph Delivery Association. The accompanying advertisement for Duff’s is dated to Valentine’s Day of 1933. Florists Telegraph Delivery Association—which still exists today under the familiar acronym FTD—became the country’s first flowers-by-wire service in 1910. It enabled a customer to order flowers by telegraph, using local florists in the recipient’s area to fulfill the order on the same day. Another interesting part of this ad is the old style of phone number: Englewood 3-7500. In those days, connecting to another person’s telephone required the help of an operator. Peter Duff first opened his flower business at 154 Tryon Ave., Englewood, back in 1920. He kept greenhouses on Tenafly Road.
