Rowe’s Flowers and Gifts changes name, ownership; soon to change location in Loveland - Loveland Reporter-Herald

Rodgers, who died at age 68 on Sept. 15, willed the business to Hartley and Sapp, who had served as co-managers since he first bought the business in 1986. The three were working at Paul Wood Florist in Fort Collins when Rodgers invited them to join him at the shop he purchased from the Rowe family, becoming the fourth owner after the store opened in Loveland in 1889. Rodgers modernized the shop, updating the décor and flower arrangements, while making sure he gave back to the community, Hartley said. “He was a very caring and loving man — the best friend anybody could ever have,” Sapp said. Temporary Closure Sapp and Hartley temporarily closed Rowe’s Flowers and Gifts on Sept. 25, the day of Rodgers’ funeral, and used up most of the stock for the service and existing orders. The two reopened the store on Oct. 25 under the new name of Rowes Flowers. Because Rodgers’ will was not found initially, they closed Rodgers’ business and started their own, wanting to retain their customers. However, they could not sell any of the products in the store, which still were considered part of the inventory of Rodgers’ estate. Sharon Sheets, a longtime friends of Rodgers, found out about Sapp and Hartley’s situation and got her club, PEO, involved. Members donated vases, baskets and unused ribbon to the business. “A vase is a vase,” Sheets said. “Why not re-purpose them and get them out of our cupboard and into their stock?” Sheets had done business with Rodgers, Sapp and Hartley for years and considers all three to be her friends. “Both Clint and George have been more than employees. They were brothers with Bill,” Sheets said. “They absorbed his work ethic. They’ll carry on in the same way with their own personal touch.” Hartley considers the donations from the club and others in the community to be “overwhelming.” “Everybody is trying to help however they can,” he said. “You really find out the support you have, the friendships you have.

Erin Rode  Ventura County StarShow Caption Hide Caption Watch a florist in Ventura prepare flowers for Mother’s DayDella Dowler, owner of The Growing Co. in Ventura, is busy preparing bouquets of flowers for Mother’s Day amid the coronavirus pandemic.JUAN CARLO, VC StarFlorist Della Dowler thought this year would be the first Mother's Day that she actually celebrated the holiday on the official date, a small positive side effect from the coronavirus-related closure of her flower shop. Dowler, owner of The Growing Co. in Ventura, normally celebrates Mother's Day on the Sunday after the holiday, since Mother's Day is busy and accounts for up to 30 percent of her sales each year.Expecting to be closed this year because of the coronavirus, she planned to stay in bed this Mother's Day and sent her two children a menu of the foods she wanted. That changed this week when the county announced flower shops could reopen in advance of Mother's Day.

Stamford Florist Celebrates A 'Rosy' 40 Years In Business - Stamford Daily Voice

STAMFORD, Conn. -- Service and quality are what have kept Stamford Florist in business for 40 years.That, and knowing your customers and keeping on top of the ever-changing world.Owner Jim Ferraro should know. He started at the company as a delivery boy when still a student -- and never left. When the original owners asked if he wanted to buy the business 40 years ago, he quickly said yes. Ferraro said he remembers talking to his mom about it. "I said, 'Mom, you take care of the money and I'll take care of the customers.'"And so it was -- she was his bookkeeper for many years before her death.Over the years, he's added gift baskets -- complete with wine and champagne -- as well as handmade truffles, even fruit and what's called an "Italian Feast" basket.Flowers -- in particular, roses -- are still his number one seller. But for a small business to survive, he said, you need to keep evolving.Stamford Florist officially turned 40 on Thursday, June 1 and to celebrate, Ferraro is offering a special cash and carry deal.

Ice and Snow Would Not Stop Their Wedding in Texas - The New York Times

They reached out to their coordinator, Tamarah Smith of Tammy’s Table, with the news. And then a quick transformation began with the help of their wedding vendors.Meeker PicturesTheir florist filled their hotel suite with flowers. Their caterer delivered meals to their room and donated the remaining meals to a warming center in Houston at the couple’s request. Ms. Broussard’s maid of honor arrived with a makeup artist. And their original venue sent their photographers to shoot the wedding.Mr. Craft and Ms. Broussard ultimately married with only 10 family members, which included Ms. Broussard’s mother, son and maid of honor and Mr. Craft’s brother and his brother’s girlfriend.Mr. Craft said they are “grateful to have literally weathered a storm to become husband and wife.”Mr. Craft, 37, grew up in Mississippi. He is a coaching manager at Asurion, a company that provides insurance for consumer electronics, where he oversees the staff training programs.Ms. Broussard, 34, is a native Houstonian and a graduate of Sam Houston State University. She also has a post-baccalaureate certificate from Lone Star College. She is currently working on her master’s in management information systems at Lamar University and works remotely from the couple’s home in Katy, Texas as a math intervention specialist for a virtual public school.The couple met in 2014 at a dive bar in Houston called the Flat. “A pretty woman is sitting next to me, an obscure song comes on, and we are the only two people who seem to know it,” Mr. Craft said of Jesse Boykins III’s “Amorous.” That led them to chat, which led Ms. Broussard to follow Mr. Craft on Instagram.Ms. Broussard was on a date that night with another man, who happened to be a childhood acquaintance of Mr. Craft, as fate would have it.The instigator was an Instagram post. “Jerimy posted a picture of shrimp and grits. It looked so delicious that I had to ask him about the restaurant,” Ms. Broussard said. He messaged her back with the name of the restaurant. “And did her one better. I invited her to it too,” Mr. Craft said.Their first date was Sept. 30, 2017 at the Backstreet Cafe. After that, “We would meet monthly to enjoy brunch at various local restaurants,” Mr. Craft said, referring to them as “brunch buddies.”But in June 2018, their relationship shifted. Mr. Craft invited Ms. Broussard to join him on a trip to New Orleans to witness his best friend’s white coat ceremony honoring his medical school graduation. She said yes.A month later, Mr. Craft knew Ms. Broussard was the one. They were a... https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/26/style/ice-and-snow-would-not-stop-their-wedding-in-texas.html
