Maker Space: Eden Garrett's idea blossomed - NWAOnline

Check out the business’ Facebook page for information on where to find the mobile florist and to find out more about hiring the truck for your special event.Eden’s Botanicals3959 N. Steele Blvd., Fayetteville870-688-0721 Garrett laughs at the memory and then widens her eyes when she reveals the end of the story: Her professor, Charles DeBerry, wanted to invest in her idea."He said, 'I believe in you, and I want to become your business partner and give you the money to start it.' I said, 'What? Wow. I don't know anything about flowers besides this project. I've never had to work with them. I've never arranged them.' I don't know anything about business. My degree was in advertising, and I don't know numbers. I'm not good with math."But we went and bought a truck in December of that year, and we both kind of looked at each other when we were driving it home, like, 'What did we just do?' It was nuts."And that's how Eden's Flower Truck -- a mobile flower business that creates on-the-spot arrangements built to order -- was born.The duo worked for several months turning the boxy truck into a chic florist on wheels. Garrett had the idea to make the interior open and airy by having large windows installed toward the rear, and they collected old barn wood to line the interior and floor of the truck. Gorgeous flowers in all manner of hues hang in galvanized buckets on the walls. The result is an Instagram-ready, magazine-worthy florist on wheels.Garrett started running the business in March of her senior year, while she was still in college in Springfield, Mo."I would drive it to class, go to class and then open up on campus and sell flowers out of it," she says. It was an immediate success, as she suspected it would be. She originally got the idea from a business she saw in Nashville, Tenn., where a woman was selling bouquets out of an open-air Volks-wagen.

Wayne florist had to shut down her business, but her heart is in full bloom - NorthJersey.com

Philip DeVencentisNorthJersey.comPublished 5:45 PM EDT Apr 3, 2020WAYNE — Dayna Montaina has something that she would like to say.This bud is for you.The local florist has spent hours emptying her shop's walk-in refrigerators of carnations, daisies and roses, and delivering them — one at a time — to random homes around the township. Each stem has a care tag, with a handwritten note, wrapped around it.Montaina was forced to close her shop last month under an executive order by Gov. Phil Murphy that shut down nonessential retail businesses due to the coronavirus pandemic.If arranged in baskets and bouquets, the flowers she has been giving away would fetch thousands of dollars, she said."You can fall into despair, or you can rise above it," said Montaina, who owns Blooms of Wayne on Hamburg Turnpike. "If I had to be closed, there was no reason why I couldn't take that time to try to do something for other people."Montaina hit about six dozen homes on side streets, off Ratzer Road, during Tuesday afternoon's delivery. Residents of Beechwood and Chestnut drives found red roses on their front s... https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/passaic/wayne/2020/04/01/wayne-nj-florist-had-shut-down-her-business-but-her-heart-bloom/2925294001/

Meet Pickletown Flower Co., Denver's Mobile Floral Studio - 5280 | The Denver Magazine

Co., a mobile floral studio, isn’t a fan of The Big Day (she’s been happily married for almost 19 years). Rather, she thinks blossoms should be a quotidian joy. As she puts it: “I may not be the florist for your one special day, but I’m the florist for your every day after.”Sparzak fell root over stem for flowers while living in New York City, where one of her regular walks took her through the Flower District. “The city changes: There are flowers and plants and shrubs spilling out onto the sidewalks,” she says of the area. The scene inspired her to start crafting bouquets for her nonprofit employer’s events—and she quickly found her calling. Six years after moving to Colorado, she began making imaginative floral and wreath installations for her neighborhood coffee shop, Spur, and Pickletown was born soon after.Since last summer, Sparzak has been traveling around Denver, Littleton, and Golden in her gray truck—once used to haul furniture deliveries—selling individual stems and limited grab-and-go arrangements during twice-monthly pop-ups. If you can’t get to the vehicle, the flowers will come to you: Pickletown offers a subscription service that supplies florals to your office or home on a recurring basis. (Office flower subscriptions start at $35 per delivery; the personal Bouquet Coterie membership program starts at $48 per month.) And if you want to try your hand at the craft, Sparzak host... https://www.5280.com/2020/03/meet-pickletown-flower-co-denvers-mobile-floral-studio/
