Owner Of Wicker Park's Asrai Garden To Judge On 'Full Bloom,' A Competitive Floral Arranging Show From HBO Max - Block Club Chicago

No one was doing this type of thing when I started,” she said. Cronin’s arrangements celebrate the “wild” look of flowers, often including prairie greens native to Illinois or taxidermied insects. In addition to flowers, Asrai sets itself apart from other shops by including a thoughtfully curated selection of products, such as essential oils and home decor, Cronin said. Both of these approaches — wild, natural flowers and curated complementary products — were a steep departure from the typical flower shops of the ’90s, Cronin said. In describing her approach to floral arrangements, Cronin referenced the “Dutch master” philosophy of keeping things natural. While she has many favorite kinds of flowers, Cronin said she has a particular affection for Queen Anne’s lace and its siblings in the Ammi family. “I want to make a massive display of weeds,” Cronin said. “I think that’s beautiful.” Cronin grew up on the Northwest Side. Her mother worked as a nurse at St. Mary’s hospital in Wicker Park. As a child, Cronin hung out in Wicker Park. She often ate at a Polish diner underneath the “L” train tracks. She also took many trips to the Chicago Botanic Garden, where she attended children’s workshops on gardening. Asrai Garden in Wicker Park.Asrai Garden/ FacebookAs a young adult Cronin lived in Wicker Park and worked in a floral shop, followed by a brief stint making flower arrangements for events. When she was in her mid-20s she decided to open Asrai Garden. The name was inspired by the Brian Fraod book, “The Dark Crystal.” “Wicker Park has always felt like home,” she said. Asrai, which opened in Wicker Park in 1999, will celebrate its 20th anniversary on Dec. 1. To celebrate, the store’s larger second location in Fulton Market, 309 N. Morgan St., will host a ’90s Wicker Park-themed celebration at the Ace Hotel and other nearby businesses.RELATED: Asrai Garden To Bring 1999 Wicker Park To Fulton Market For Boutique’s 20-Year AnniversaryThe party runs Nov. 30-Dec. 1 and will include pop-ups from long-shuttered Wicker Park favorites including Earwax Cafe, the Lava Lounge and Jinx Cafe.“There’s not much left in Wicker Park that feels super special,” Cronin said. “There’s just a few of us left.” Today, Cronin lives on Chicago’s South Side in Kenwood, where gardeners like herself are “taking it all back to the prairie” by planting native plants along the lakeshore.

Hoffmann family to acquire another Naples business - Naples Daily News

David Hoffmann, chairman of Hoffmann Commercial Real Estate and the founder of Osprey Capital, a private equity company based in Illinois, said his family's event companies in Naples were buying so many flowers that it made a lot of sense to purchase an upscale florist — and Kaleidoscope rose to the top of the list of choices for many reasons, including its impressive growth in such a short time. "They are doubling in sales every year," Hoffmann said. "We think now they will quadruple just because of how many flowers we're involved in with our event planning businesses."   The Hoffmanns' event planning business is only expected to grow.
