Growing up in Missouri, she remembers playing on her grandparents’ farm, in the garden and with the animals.“As a little girl I played dress- up and played florist,” she said. “My heart and soul is really in the outdoors and nature.”Roehm, 67, started her career as a fashion designer in New York City, working for Oscar de la Renta before opening her own fashion house.

Dallas Museum of Art League Scores a Famed Royal Florist for Signature Fundraiser - PaperCity Magazine
Sunday, February 09, 2020Photo by Eva Nemeth)We then asked him what his dream floral arrangements would be if an event were being thrown in his honor. (Seriously, can you imagine the pressure of that florist?)“They’d be seasonal and locally grown,” Connolly said “Yes! Dallas does have local growers and they are wonderful!”And if we’re going all out? Because what is Dallas if not a city that always does just that?“I would have some growing things, too, which I would give to my guests as a lasting memento of my party.”And there you have it. Seems like the planning committee should take this hint and run with it.Table sponsorships start at $5,000 and individual ticket are $500 (click here for more details on purchasing). The day includes an opening reception, raffle, floral presentation, lunch, book singing, and a first look at the fourth annual Art in Bloom Floral Exhibition. Each patron ticket also grants guests access to a posh patron party on February 29, which Connolly will attend as an honorary guest. https://www.papercitymag.com/society/dallas-museum-of-art-in-bloom-shane-connolly-royal-florist/

The paper writes that the two-story townhouses would be about 2,800-2,900 square feet, with four bedrooms, according to plans filed with Lower Makefield Township.

If Lower Makefield approves the development, the family business will relocate nearby, he said.
