Aces of Trades – Griffin’s Floral Design - The Newark Advocate
Sunday, February 10, 2019But he added, “I wouldn’t have it any other way.” He and co-owner wife, Sarah, oversee four locations: Pataskala, Newark, New Albany, and a wedding studio in downtown Columbus. “Relationship building is my true passion, always has been,” Griffin said. “I love to talk, unfortunately sometimes to a fault. I love having the freedom to meet new people, businesses and organizations. I love technology and learning how to incorporate it into our business. And I love event, party and wedding work, from big and showy to small and simple.” “Russ and I,” Sarah added, “have been fortunate to be able to work where God has led us. We like the flexibility that ownership gives us. We also have the sole responsibility of whether we ‘make it or not.’ We both like that challenge.” “Becoming a florist has been very rewarding,” her husband agreed. “I wouldn’t change a thing, even after all these years.” “It’s funny,” he thought aloud, “that you often end up where you start.” For more Griffin’s Floral Design corporate store is located at 378 S. Main Street in Pataskala. For more information, call 740-927-6088 or log on www.griffinsfloraldesigns.com.

MORRIS: Taking time to smell the roses - Evening News and Tribune
Tuesday, March 27, 2018NEW ALBANY — Lana Aebersold got a taste of retirement last month, even though it wasn't planned.In bed with the flu, she was unable to work at her usual spot inside Aebersold Florist leading up to Valentine's Day for the first time in more than five decades. The busiest two or three days in a floral designer's year, and she was at home, trying to get back on her feet."I was miserable," she said. "I would have rather been here. I was just too sick to worry about it."But in 11 days, she will be taking a permanent break from the business. At 71, and with more things to accomplish, Lana is retiring. Although she will still help out if needed since she lives within an earshot of the business.Lana has worked at Aebersold Florist for 55 of the 110 years the business has been open. She met David Aebersold when she was 16, the two started dating, and she asked his mother for a job."She said if you break up you can't leave," Lana said.The two married four years later and she has never strayed to... http://www.newsandtribune.com/opinion/morris-taking-time-to-smell-the-roses/article_eda3c98e-1fe9-11e8-90bc-bf7ffe7847ca.html
Florist Starts ‘Flowers for Black Men' After George Floyd's Death, Sharing Random Kindness - NBC Southern California
Sunday, January 17, 2021She got even more famous after appearing on the HBO show "Insecure." All because, she says, she wanted to stay true to who she is, and where she lives."When you see a florist that looks like you and represents you I think that representation is so important," Brown said. After working in digital marketing, Brown decided it wasn’t for her. She wanted to get out of the office. She wanted to do something with her hands. Then came the idea of flowers.Her popularity grew as she posted with her flowers at familiar local spots. Soon, she was doing pop ups at places like Hilltop Coffee.Last summer, she took it a step further. Realizing that the killing of George Floyd and the protests that erupted had particular resonance for one group of people. So she started “flowers for Black men,” encouraging friends and followers to send bouquets to many who weren’t expecting them."And they automatically assumed I got the wrong address or it was for their wife or something like that and I said, 'Oh no this is for you." And they’re like, 'me? What?'" she said. As the world watched the breach of the U.S. Capitol in shock, many couldn’t help but wonder why the underwhelming police response to President Trump’s rioting supporters was so different from the massive show of force seen this summer at a Washington D.C. Black Lives Matter protest following the death of George Floyd.
