Not all floral arrangements are created equal: what you need to know - Surrey Now-Leader

Mother’s Day we’re often sending arrangements across the city, country or even around the world – an opportunity online marketers are savvy to.Local supports localThat awareness underscores the importance of buying local, a core principle of La Belle Fleur since the award-winning shop opened in 1997.“We know where all our flowers come from, and most are locally grown right here in the Lower Mainland,” Bell says.Not only does that make for fresher, longer-lasting blooms, but you’re also supporting local farmers, growers and related businesses, meaning your environmental footprint is also significantly reduced!Bell and her team take that principle even further by complementing their floral selection with a wide variety of local artisan pieces, from hand-made cards to stunning jewellery.“We have a really great, local network of small businesses, artists and artisans who support each other,” Bell says. “We’re really proud of that – of being local and supporting local.”Fabulous ideas in store: If you’re planning a custom arrangement in time for Mother’s Day, allow time to place and fill the order, suggests Bell, who will bring in lots of fresh flowers throughout week to meet demand. The talented team will also have a variety of beautiful arrangements ready to go.“We’re chock-full of interesting planters, especially succulent planters, which are really long-lasting and on-trend. They’re also a little different and the price point is lower, so you can give to all the special ‘moms’ in your life!”Stop by La Belle Fleur Floral Boutique in Boundary Park Plaza at 6350 120th St. in Surrey.

Around East County: Don’t forget area small businesses still open - East Bay Times

Some businesses, like local bars and restaurants are becoming creative with curbside deliveries, others like local florists are able to continue taking online orders and make deliveries but can’t have people come inside their stores to pick out their own flowers. For restaurant and bar owners that means coming up with a new routine for getting their food out to their customers. For Bethel Island’s Tugs owner Joni Fragga-Pratt, it meant changing how they do business altogether and bringing their staff down to just one person.Tugs is a popular restaurant/bar on the island. The restaurant side of the business offers a full menu of sandwiches and burgers, which under the county health department’s order has allowed Fragga-Pratt’s business to remain open. Even so, Fragga-Pratt acknowledges that “this is the worst thing we’ve ever experienced in 18 years of being in the restaurant business.” After working to unravel the health department’s temporary codes, it was decided that Tugs could offer a takeout system that had one employee on staff taking orders, cooking meals and delivering the food curbside for takeout.While Tugs does well with food orders, the big draw for the community is the bar and nightlife. That part of the business is completely closed down until ... https://www.eastbaytimes.com/around-east-county-dont-forget-area-small-businesses-still-open

Bloom & Plume“If you’re looking for something magical, I’m your guy,” says Historic Filipinotown-based owner/artist Maurice Harris, star of the Quibi series Centerpiece and a judge on HBO Max’s upcoming Full Bloom. “The work we do really forces you to be present.
