BAKERSFIELD,Calif. — Jami Graham, the owner of the White Oaks Florist shop is bringing cheer by delivering free flowers to essential workers throughout Kern County.Since the COVID-19 outbreak, Graham has closed her doors and is offering curbside, delivery, phone, and online ordering services.Graham has also made heartbreaking decisions regarding her staff."We let ten of them go, when we got the notice that non-essential businesses needed to close," Graham said. "I just assumed that we were non-essential and we wouldn’t get the orders. Now, there is this gray area and we are uncertain if we are essential."According to Graham, her shop may be deemed essential because floral industries could fall under the food and agriculture category.Now, they are waiting for the health department's decision."Once we have that clearance we will move forward, whether it’s closing our doors completely and shutting down; or we will continue doing what we are doing," Graham said.Despite the whirlwind change... https://www.turnto23.com/news/only-on-23abc/local-flower-shop-spreads-cheer-by-delivering-flowers-throughout-kern-county

'Always in Bloom,' flowers 'Blossom' for moms, 'Eden' during a pandemic - Sippican Week

Mother’s Day is fast approaching, and though families can’t go to brunch or and may have to stay six feet apart at the park, florists are still making sure that residents can buy flowers, even if they don’t come look at them.Sharon Monteiro, owner of Always in Bloom in Marion, said that although she has lost business with cancellations and postponements of proms, graduations and weddings, the flowers have never been more vibrant and business has been steady because of the holiday.“Without the world moving, mother nature is outdoing herself,” said Monteiro who said she has noticed the impact of less pollution. The owner is allowing one to two people in her shop at a time, but has noticed an increase in online orders, curbside pickup and delivery. Eden’s florist and garden shop further down the road in Marion has taken a similar approach with customers. Owner Esmeralda Braga said she doesn’t require customers to sign for card payments to keep contact to a minimum.To help further keep contact to a minimum, she took inspiration from a customer and now sells bouquets at the Marion General Store.

Hannah's Flowers relocates, expands business - Midland Daily News

Back to Gallery As a fourth-generation florist, Hannah Tiffin has a deep appreciation and passion for working with flowers – whether it’s making bouquet arrangements, pressing and drying flowers, or even painting them on canvas. Growing up as the daughter of a Naval man and amidst a family of successful entrepreneurs, the Midland native has lived elsewhere and explored other careers. However, she eventually decided to carry out what she calls her legacy as a florist here locally. “It’s in my blood; It’s what I’m supposed to be doing; It’s what I’ve always done,” she said. “Even as a little girl, I used to play florist.” Last year in January, Tiffin opened Hannah’s Flowers on Grove Street, offering floral services for weddings, events and daily occasions. Her client-base quickly grew. !-- e hearst/ads/m... https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Hannah-rsquo-s-Flowers-relocates-expands-business-14941666.php

The Flower Bucket in Yarmouth County nurtures joy with flowers - TheChronicleHerald.ca

Benzakein. Fordham was inspired by the fact that someone was making a living from a flower farm and says she was hooked.“I started really loving arranging the flowers and creating designs. I’m not a florist but I just practiced and practiced. I started growing things that are good for cut flower production. Some flowers are better than others, they have longer vase lives than others.”She likes letting flowers do what they naturally want to do in a vase, instead of trying to control them. She says her mother was like that too. Fordham is also in her element when it comes to arranging material that’s in season locally.“If it’s in bloom and it looks beautiful and it’s going to last in a vase, then I’ll cut it. I’ll cut anything!” she laughs.“I drive around with snippers in my car (for wild material or cultivated, and cut with permission.) You never know what you’re going to see.”Each morning she visits the flowers on their property, cutting those that have reached perfection. These are placed in buckets of water for the day’s arrangements.She custom designs each bouquet according to the price point supplied by each customer, sometimes including plants like basil and mint for their fragrance.Last Christmas season she held a highly successful wreath making workshop. It’s something she plans on doing in other seasons, when she has time.“Everyone made their own and every creation was beautiful and original. There was Christmas music playing, hot cider, it was so much fun.”Fordham says this is The Flower Bucket’s first serious year as a business.She’s learning to accept failures along with success, when it comes to growing specific flowers.“I’m so new to all this and learning as I go. Maybe I won’t grow that flower there next time, or maybe I didn’t start it early enough. I’ve learned to focus on things that need my attention the most.”Once a week she walks her gardens and makes herself a bouquet for the week. “It’s my favourite thing to do on Sundays,” she says.The practice of giving flowers is a wonderful one, she adds, especially because of their finite lifespan.“We all have too much stuff. That’s why I love flowers. You can give flowers to somebody and they get to experience it for a couple of weeks and then it’s done. They don’t have to put it on their shelf somewhere and feel bad if they ever throw it away. It’s like eating food. You eat it and enjoy it and then it’s done.”How to contact The Flower BucketContact The Flower Bucket through FacebookOr InstagramOr by email... https://www.thechronicleherald.ca/business/local-business/the-flower-bucket-in-yarmouth-county-nurtures-joy-with-flowers-482841/
