Castle Rock florist to design 'Parasite' Oscars party - The Columbian

Vorse said Thursday.Vorse is no stranger to designing Hollywood parties. He arranged $5 million malachite crystal urns for Princess Beatrice of York’s Sweet 16 birthday party and set up flowers for Ashton Kutcher’s wedding to Demi Moore.Vorse has even worked “behind the scenes” with Oscars parties before, he said. But this year is particularly special because it’s his first time as the design company and not just an employee. “This is our ballgame now,” Vorse said of Pollen, the Castle Rock florist shop he opened July 2017. “I’ve worked with a lot of very large event production companies, but this is all Pollen. That’s the difference.”Event design and production company Gina Wade Creative met Saturday to decide who would design the party, Vorse said. None of the designers in L.A. fit their vision, and the company knew Vorse from working together on several past projects.“They got out of their meeting last Saturday and immediately they said, ‘We have to fly Pollen in,’ which is pretty neat,” Vorse said. “It was more than flattering, to say the least.”He declined to discuss how much he’ll earn or what the design costs.Vorse started his “creative process” almost immediately by watching “Parasite” for inspiration. Set in Korea, the dark comedy thriller follows one rich family and one poor family as their lives get unusually entangled.Pollen’s Oscar party design “pulls different moments” and “works off what the environment within the film looked like,” Vorse said. For example, all of the containers used in the design will be concrete, he said. He will fill the structures with “dark and sultry” colored flowers such as Japanese sweet peas.“It will all be very industrial, and the florals will be lush and romantic, but deep, dark, moody colors,” Vorse said.The Oscars party will feature suspended pie... https://www.columbian.com/news/2020/feb/05/castle-rock-florist-to-design-parasite-oscars-party/

Keeping things natural come Hell or High Water - Enumclaw Courier-Herald

The Enumclaw couple are using their cash award to purchase a pair of Great Pyrenees dogs that will watch over a pasture of laying hens. The pups are on order from an Idaho breeder and will provide a natural means of protecting chickens from aerial predators, coyotes and anything else seeking a free meal. “Small and mid-sized sustainable farms are essential to meeting consumer demand for humanely-raised food,” said Larissa McKenna, the director of FACT’s humane farming program. But the reality, she said, is that small operations face financial challenges due to high costs associated with economies of scale. “Our organization supports farms like Hell or High Water Farm by funding projects that improve animal welfare and also help farmers increase their profit margins,” she said. WHERE IT ALL BEGAN A decade ago, while apartment dwellers in Seattle’s Lower Queen Anne neighborhood, the Helfricks took a rather simple step. They began filling abandoned planters with heirloom tomatoes, pumpkins, strawberries and blueberry plants; it was all for personal use but launched a life of producing organic, locally-sourced vegetables and herbs. Within a few years, the couple were urban homesteaders, having advanced to a rented home in Seattle. From their Wallingford neighborhood, they had backyard chickens and had added grapes, hops, flowers and fruit trees to their growing operation. It was clear they were destined for something more than being hobby farmers, growing for their own table. A key transition came in 2015 when Kevin participated in the Organic Farming Education Program, offered by Tilth Alliance. Located in Auburn, it offers education for beginner farmers and serves as a business incubator. For three years, he grew vegetables and flowers and kept flocks of laying hens at Tilth’s Red Barn Ranch. “It was nice being around like-minded individuals,” Kevin says of his relationship with Tilth.A commercial customer stops by Hell Or High Water Farm, picking up an order of 25 dozen eggs.
