Burbank Rose Parade float nears completion - Los Angeles Times

Among the volunteers was Catherine Glandon, the 14-year-old designer of Burbank’s 2018 float. She was meticulously placing caraway seeds on the underside of one of the structure’s turtles.Though she and her family have been volunteering with the Burbank Tournament of Roses Assn. since 2010, Catherine said it was surreal decorating the float she helped design.“It’s kind of crazy. Sometimes I still can’t believe that I designed this,” she said. “It’s pretty amazing, though.”Just outside the float barn’s large door was 14-year-old Sophia Goodson, who was gluing fabricated suction cups onto the octopus’ arms.Sophia, who is from Temple City, said it was her third year helping decorate a Burbank float and that it was the first time that she was able to walk on the float and physically decorate different parts of the structure.“Before this year, I’d only been working on making the product that’s glued onto the float, like crushing lentils or brushing out palm bark to make hair,” Sophia said.Now that she has a greater responsibility during the decorating process, Sophia said she has learned that it takes good communication and management skills to finish a float.“You have to be really organized, and you have to work well with other people,” she said. “Other than that, it’s really cool and really fun.”anthonyclark.carpio@latimes.comTwitter: @acocarpio... http://www.latimes.com/socal/burbank-leader/news/tn-blr-me-float-update-20171230-story.html

Flowering trees in full bloom - Westside Eagle Observer

DECATUR -- Spring has accelerated over the past two weeks, with several varieties of flowering trees in full bloom across Northwest Arkansas.At Crystal Lake, and throughout the wooded areas of Decatur, Gentry, Gravette and beyond, white dogwood trees are beginning to dot the hillsides with their beautiful white blossoms. Close cousins, the pink dogwoods are also beginning their blooming cycle.Different varieties of flowering trees, including the Japanese pear, with its white petals, will soon begin to bear fruit. The Asian or Japanese pear is a cross between pear and apple trees. The fruit looks more like an apple than a pear.Also scattered around Northwest Arkansas is an assortment of different types of apple and cherry trees, in full bloom with white and pink flowers showing off nature's beauty.Another tree with colorful blooms is the eastern redbud, the state tree of Oklahoma, with its reddish-violet flowers, showcased in downtown Decatur around the depot and log cabin area, as well as in many places in Gravette, Gentry and the surrounding area.Take a little time with the family to explore the beauty that spring... https://www.eagleobserver.com/news/2020/apr/01/flowering-trees-in-full-bloom-20200401/

Maker Space: Eden Garrett's idea blossomed - NWAOnline

There's no minimum or maximum -- it's whatever they happen to have in their pocket."After graduation, Garrett spent about a year in Springfield running the truck before deciding to move to Northwest Arkansas."I love Northwest Arkansas," she says. "There are so many opportunities for growth here. And because I work out of a truck, I can go from Fayetteville to Rogers to Springdale to Bentonville and all of those towns in between -- so I catch more people than just being in the middle of Springfield."Garrett says part of the process of becoming a successful business person was learning how to be flexible when business was in a slow period."I'm just motivated every day to push forward and make the sales higher each day -- even if it's really slow, even if, that day, no one wants flowers," she says. "I'll think, 'OK, what else can I do? Can I do deliveries? Can I announce on social media that all bouquets are $5 or that delivery is free on this particular day?' Each day, I'm going to make as much money as I can and provide an excellent product."She's also available for parties and weddings; one popular option for celebrations are the custom flower crowns partygoers can make inside the truck.Garrett says she's wanted to own a business since she was a child. Her first business idea -- a boutique that would serve as both a makeup salon as well as an event space, so you could get ready for a party right there at the site -- came to her when she was just 10 years old."My mom owned her own business, and I was just super fascinated by it," she says. "I've always known I didn't want to have a 9-to-5 job where I sit behind a desk all day -- that's just not who I am. I've always wanted to own my own business."It's clear that her youth isn't holding her back. Eden's Flower Truck was recognized at the 2019 Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce Excellence in Business Awards Ceremony, and she's opening up her first brick and mortar store called Eden's Botanicals this month. She says opening a storefront was in her five-year plan but, when she found a perfect location on North Steele Boulevard, her business instincts told her it was the right time to make a move."The storefront will mostly be for workshops and parties -- more of an event space," says Garrett, who adds that the mobile truck will still be used for floral sales. "We'll also sell flower gifts [in the store]. I'm super excited."Garrett is already looking towards the future and making plans -- big plans."I want to own some land, hopefully around the Fayetteville area, and have a mini-Magnolia Market, similar to [Fixer Upper stars] Chip and Joanna Gaines' business," she says. "I want there to be a few cottages, like an Airbnb, and then also have a spot to grow my own flowers so I don't have to buy them wholesale any more. And I would sell gifts and flowers and other merchandise and have it all be in one giant property, a destination that people from all over come to."If what she's accomplished so far is any indication, the goals of her 10-year plan may just be closer than she thinks..inline_item { float: left; display: inline; }div class="inline__bloc... https://www.nwaonline.com/news/2020/feb/13/maker-space-eden-garrett-s-idea-blossom/
