The stone planter then receives a dash of whimsy, once Creighton encircled it with curly willow shrubs and adorned them with faux butterflies for a garden feel. The grandeur of the four-tiered design catches the eye of artists and green thumbs alike, while the wired ribbon French bow adds a gift-wrapped statement.

Someone watched over us, guided us as we took our first steps and giggled with us as we tried new foods. If we are lucky, we have her wisdom, strength and fortitude. If we are luckier still, we have her by our side. And while honoring our mothers every day is a joy and a delight to us at Tiger Lily, Mother’s Day is the perfect occasion to celebrate her even more. So, hats off to the family CEO, stylist, Ms. Fix-it, lunch-maker, cheerleader, teacher, referee and superhero!”  — LINDA DOMENICOCredits: A conceptual design turns heads with fuchsia phalaenopsis, peach free spirit garden roses, calla lilies, antique hydrangea, pur... https://www.srqmagazine.com/articles/1173/Natural-Beauties

Entrepreneur forages for wild flowers - Vermont Biz

When she went to college in upstate New York, she majored in creative writing and often found herself writing about flowers.  After graduation, she worked at a bookstore in Burlington where she spent countless hours reading all the flower-related works the store had to offer. During this time, she knew if she wanted to work in the floral industry she just had to go for it.Photo: Floral arrangement. Courtesy photo.In 2010, she took a class and earned a certificate in Floral Design from the New York Botanical Gardens’ Summer Intensive Program in New York. Temporarily living back home in Connecticut, she started growing flowers and selling them at local farmers markets. At the market, people were always commenting about how much they liked her arrangements and were asking if she did floral arrangements for weddings.  She wanted to pursue the offers, but Nectar and Root at the time was basically a booth at a farmers market. When Ostreicher returned to Vermont, she knew she needed to turn her venture into a legitimate business, so she sought the assistance of Simeon Geigel, a counselor with the Micro Business Development Program in Burlington. With the help of Geigel and the MBDP, Ostreicher learned how to create a business plan, register her business and market her services.“Her growth as a successful entrepreneur has been an evolution. Erin’s willingness to ask questions, seek input, analyze situations and follow her heart has allowed her to take calculated steps forward to grow her business,” said Geigel.For a first few years, she worked out of a small rented studio space on Pine Street in Burlington. As she worked more weddings, she got to know more people in the wedding industry and through word of mouth, her business picked up.  All the while, she was working out of a cramped space that was not ideal for arranging large bouquets of flowers or meeting potential clients.  In 2018, a storefront became available, so she moved Nectar and Root to West Canal Street in Winooski. There she can meet with clients and there is an area for housing and arranging flowers. In that first year at her new location, Nectar and Root provided floral design for 37 weddings. In the last three years, her work has been featured in Brides, Martha Stewart Weddings and The Knot.“It’s great being able to do something I love. One of the strangest things about this is how I will be wearing a beautiful dress one day at this gorgeous wedding surrounded by my work and the very next day I’m out in the woods covered in dirt lo... https://vermontbiz.com/news/2019/july/04/entrepreneur-forages-wild-flowers

Redding woman will use 23,000 flowers to bring Rose Bowl float to life - Chico Enterprise-Record

Rose Parade float. (Tom Zasadzinski — Cal Poly)At the end of it all, there’s nothing like seeing the final product with everyone else as it makes its way down Pasadena’s Colorado Boulevard, Toney said.“Seeing that whole process from, like, a piece of paper and then it standing in front of you is very gratifying,” she said. https://www.chicoer.com/redding-woman-will-use-23000-flowers-to-bring-rose-bowl-float-to-life

No time to stop and smell the roses: Dream leads local florist to Rose Parade - Steamboat Pilot & Today

Rose Parade.“It was always a dream of mine,” Bostrom said of working on the floats that will roll just over five miles down Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena on New Year’s Day. “Fifteen years ago, I went to the Rose Parade because I was on board of directors of FTD for our district. They took the district representatives, and we were carted around in limousines. We got to go behind the scenes and meet all the main designers and went to the parade.”But even before that, Bostrom, who owned Alpine Floral & Atrium until she closed the business in 2012, dreamed of being a part of the New Year’s celebration. Last April, she learned she had been selected to work with Fiesta Parade Floats, one of the companies that build the nearly 30 floats in the parade. When she got the news, one of her first calls was to her former boss Roy Borodkin, who opened Alpine Floral in its first location at the Harbor Hotel in 1974.“I called him and said I’m working on the floats in the Rose Bowl Parade this year,” Bostrom said. “He said, ‘Finally.'”Bostrom hitchhiked from Boulder to Steamboat in 1975 and arrived with $78 in her pocket and no job. But by the end of her first day in town, she had lined up jobs as a lifeguard at the swimming pool, waiting tables at El Rancho and working at Alpine Floral.Her job at Alpine Floral proved to be a perfect fit for the girl who graduated with degrees in ornamental horti... https://www.steamboatpilot.com/news/no-time-to-stop-and-smell-the-roses-dream-leads-local-florist-to-rose-parade/

La Cañada Flintridge, Burbank take home awards at Rose Parade - Los Angeles Times

Leonardo da Vinci’s helicopter.As the main entry blasted Kravitz’s song from its speakers, the satellite float darted all over Colorado Boulevard honking at the crowd and those who dared to cross the parade route.Cory Hill, a first-time volunteer with the La Cañada association, worked on the animations on the float and said he was pleased with how it all turned out and was grateful the animations were all in working order. Advertisement Hill, a scientist at Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said dealing with animations on a float is a fairly involved process but admitted that he has a lot to learn from the volunteers who have spent years with the organization.“I’ve spent weekends starting in June all the way through today working with the mechanics, getting measurements and making sure everything works,” Hill said.La Cañada was also represented in the parade by Rose Princess Emilie Risha, a resident of the city and a senior at Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy, who rode on the Tournament of Roses Royal Court float with Rose Queen Camille Kennedy. Rounding out the court were Princesses Cole Fox, Rukan Saif, Reese Rosental Saporito, Mia Thorsen and Michael Wilkins.Princess Emilie said when she was chosen for the court that she recognized she’d be engaging in a whirlwind of activities — about 100 appearances, including Wednesday’s Rose Bowl Game — and that she was “definitely looking forward to making the most out of this experience.” Another local, Brenda Gant was one of 100 walkers who accompanied the Pasadena Celebrates 2020 float titled “Years of Hope. Years of Courage,” which celebrated the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution — giving women the right to vote.Gant, who lives in Glendale, was sponsored by the La Cañada Junior Women’s Club. She has been a member of the organization, which helps women and children in need, for six years.When she was younger, Gant said she remembers attending the parade and seeing the floats up close afterward.On Wednesday, she had the opportunity to walk the 5.5-mile route and celebrate with 99 other women a cause that is near and dear to her.
