Her father was a carpenter who had been a prisoner of war in the Second World War, her mother a hairdresser. They both ‘worked hard to put me through a convent school until I was 18.Determined to stem the rising population of 600 million street dogs worldwide, Nikki co-launched the Wild at Heart Foundation (WAHF) in 2015‘So it was just me, really. And a houseful of animals. We had a boxer dog who had been given to my dad, which is why I love houndy types. At one point, we had five dogs at home. My parents would wake up to find me downstairs, sleeping in the dog beds. My dad was amazing: he would bring home a bird with a broken wing, rabbits, cats…’Nikki was ‘completely’ dyslexic. ‘Growing up, I wanted to be a vet. Then I wanted to do something creative. But I can’t paint or draw, compose or sing.’ She started work in an advertising agency, but hated it. ‘I always loved colour and beautiful things around me. Then some friends asked me to help with the flowers for their wedding.’HOW TO MAKE A DOG FEEL AT HOMEWild at Heart Foundation’s resident behaviourist David Drew shares his tips for helping a new pet settle in…1 Dogs can arrive stressed and need a few quiet days to adjust. Allow them to get used to their new family and avoid overwhelming them at first with meeting strangers or even going for walks, especially around traffic.2 Consider house rules and boundaries, where the dog is to sleep, its feeding and toilet routines. If you are unaware of the existing diet, provide cooked chicken and rice initially to avoid upsetting its digestive system.3 Give your dog a place to go where it feels safe, allowing it the option to use its flight response to avoid difficult situations.

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.

Winston Flowers Acquires L'Olivier Floral Atelier - PerishableNews

New York City.The acquisition of L’Olivier marks a new chapter for Winston Flowers following its expansion from Boston to Greenwich, Connecticut in 2012, and most recently, New York City. The 2018 opening of a 12,000-square-foot NYC design studio represented a major evolution for the company—three generations in the making—from the company’s founding as a floral pushcart in 1944 by Robert Winston and his son, Maynard. Today the company is led by brothers David and Ted Winston, who have stewarded the company through this strategic evolution while continuing to honor its New England roots.“This is an exciting time for Winston Flowers,” said Ted Winston. “Since expanding into New York City last year, it’s been invigorating to watch our business grow and evolve in new ways. We are delighted to share the stunning work of Olivier Guigni and his talented team with a new roster of clients. It’s a thrill to begin servicing marquee spaces such as Daniel Boulud restaurants, The Plaza Hotel, and The Carlyle Hotel, as well as many high-profile residential clients.”David Winston said, “L’Olivier and Winston Flowers share an abiding passion for innovative design, unrivaled service, and a deep commitment to our clients. I’ve always respected and admired Olivier’s design work and look forward to our two teams providing beautiful, inspiring floral services together.”L’Olivier founder... https://www.perishablenews.com/floral/winston-flowers-acquires-lolivier-floral-atelier/
