Hannah's Flowers relocates, expands business - Midland Daily News
Monday, August 24, 2020Back 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
Monday, August 24, 2020Benzakein. 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/

The Juneau Empire reported that Tommy Varela says Heavenly Creations in Ketchikan told his mother the business would not sell flowers for his August wedding ceremony after learning there were two grooms. Varela and a friend organized a rally June 5 outside the florist’s location on Ketchikan’s waterfront. Between 100 and 200 people attended the demonstration, holding signs expressing support for the LGBTQ community.
