Pop art, Woodstock era energize 2019 Philadelphia Flower Show - Cherry Hill Courier Post

Society. “Philadelphia is hosting the show this year. It will include 23 floral designers representing 23 different countries. The World Cup only happens every four to six years, most recently in Berlin and Shanghai. It hasn’t been in the U.S. since 1985 (Detroit), and ’74 (Miami) before that.’’ The theme of this year’s Flower Show is “Flower Power,’’ and in addition to evoking some of the most colorful aspects of the 1960s, it also speaks to the healing power of flowers, said Lemheney. “Flowers are universal language spoken around the world,’’ he said. “Flowers speak to people in different cultures in much the same way … a red rose means love, and if I hand you a red rose, that’s what I’m (conveying). The designers are communicating to our visitors and our guests using flowers. Flowers are a really special way to bring people together and we need a little bit more togetherness and community in this world more than we’ve ever needed it before. “All of the world’s eyes are going to be on the Philadelphia Flower Show this year, and it’s second to none.’’ The “Flower Power’’ theme was chosen, in part, with a nod to the 50th anniversary this summer of Woodstock, he said. It also highlights how an organization that launched a flower show in 1929 has been able to bring people together for nearly two centuries all because of our love of flowers. So, expect plenty of nods to the age of hippies, daisy chains, pop art, peace signs and tie-dye. But also expect exhibits and presenters who speak to the power of flowers to heal our souls, he said, “and about the impact that flowers can have on a community and on a city.’’ Founded in 1827, The Pennsylvan... https://www.courierpostonline.com/story/life/2019/02/20/pop-art-woodstock-era-energize-2019-philadelphia-flower-show/2910425002/

For Steve and Judy Mann, Pot of Green Florist is 46 years and the rest of their lives - theday.com

Church.Steve and Judy are 77 and 74, and Steve recently observed that the years have made him less aggressive in terms of discussions with customers about spending money. He doesn't consider the Connecticut economy "all that good," and he doesn't want to scare people off.Asked if they have a target date or age for retirement, Judy responded without hesitation, "No. We're both going to drop dead right here. I hope it's not soon."Locations and customer base changeSince its opening in 1973, Pot of Green has evolved from offering primarily indoor house plants to also selling outdoor plants, cut flowers, annuals, perennials and shrubs. Current inventory includes orange trees, orchids, gardenias, roses, carnations, lilies and tulips.Pot of Green has also evolved from its original location to one across the street, then one near the Mystic drawbridge where rats became a problem, then one across from Sea Swirl in Mystic that was too small, and since 2001 its spot at 165 S. Broad St., the plaza across from the police station.Before opening Pot of Green, Steve worked for the state welfare department and Judy for the chief of staff at Lawrence + Memorial Hospital.Both of their fathers owned their own businesses, "so it was always kind of inbred," Judy said. But her parents were not happy to see Steve giving up a job with a pension.Between talking about a Robusta Green Juniper and succulents on Thursday, Steve commented about plants, "Tradition is understandable, but we're not totally just into tradition here. We're into progressivism."One of his favorite plants is Pennisetum Fireworks, a purple fountain grass annual that can last six months. Steve focuses more on outdoor plants while Judy is the indoor person.Judy said the walk-in traffic has diminished over the years, whereas hanging baskets were once so popular "you practically had to take a number to come into our store" on Fridays. Unlike in the previous Mystic locations, their shop is set far back from the road, which in the past resulted in disputes with the town and fines over s... https://www.theday.com/article/20200119/BIZ02/200119517

Why Small Businesses Matter in Fairfield: Fresh Flower Bar - HamletHub

I have quickly built a reputation for my unique style and color combinations that are now recognizable in Fairfield County, Connecticut and beyond. The best compliment I get is when people tell me that my flowers don't look real because they are so gorgeous.What is your best selling product/service? My best selling product is my flower arrangements in my signature hatbox. I wanted to create exquisite floral bouquets in a modern vase that is environmentally friendly and can be repurposed into a chic storage container or recycled. My best selling service is my Mobile Flower Bar. I travel with buckets of beautiful flowers to people's homes, local restaurants, businesses and other locations and create handmade bouquets and conduct flower arranging and wreath making workshops.How many local businesses do you use to support your business (products and services) and can you name them?I use many local businesses, including No. 299 which is a gifts and goods store that I share a retail location with. We have a unique business approach because we share a space with complementary products but operate as completely separate business entities. I purchase my flowers from East Coast Wholesale flowers in Norwalk and local Connecticut flower farms. Very often, I will have my flower arrangements on display in local businesses such as The Perfect Pair and Penfield Collective, which drives traffic to my floral studio located at 11 Unquowa Road in Fairfield.Fresh Flower Bar is located at 11 Unquowa Road, Fairfield.

Cyber Florists: Do You Know Where Your Delivery Is Coming From? - NBC Connecticut

St. which is an office building with multiple businesses. The other one at 26 Church St. is a beauty salon. Neither of them affiliated with a flower shop.We called both businesses who told NBC Connecticut Responds that they are located in Hamden.The man who answered the phone at the flower shop listed at 175 Church St. claimed that was the wrong website address and he needed to change it.NBC Connecticut Responds also with a woman whose shop was listed at 26 Church St. She said they closed the location to do building work.Lora Rae Anderson with the Department of Consumer Protection says buyers should beware:“Make sure you go right to that company’s website, call their number, and check out their email and contact them based on that information. Instead of the information that you see pop up Google,” Anderson said.Anderson said if there are too many options and you’re not sure whether the storefront is real or fake, ask around.“You can usually pretty quickly figure out who’s legitimate and who’s not,” said Anderson.The Society of American Florist told NBC Connecticut Responds:“There is an issue of deceptive listings where companies list themselves under a variety of fictitious florist names with a local phone number.”Here’s what people should keep in mind when buying flowers:-Don’t wait until the last minute, especially around holidays like Mother’s day.-If you do go the online route, see if the flowers come from a central warehouse or if the company contracts with a local florist.-Have reasonable expectations. The bouquet probably won’t look exactly like the one in the photo, but it should be pretty close.-If it’s not, let the company know. Many florists will offer to replace it free of charge. https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/Cyber-Florists-Do-You-know-Where-Your-Delivery-Is-Coming-From-509714221.html
