Maleeha SyedBurlington Free PressPublished 7:45 PM EDT May 8, 2020You might not be able to stop and smell the flowers at your local shop, but Vermont florists are adapting to make Sunday special during the coronavirus outbreak. The annual celebration falls on May 10 this year, and while Vermont is loosening up on some fronts, there are still restrictions in place for COVID-19. Vermonters gifting Mother's Day flowers might find it difficult to pop into a store and sort through the different bouquets.So the flower shops are coming to you.Long-time flower shop owners adapt The owners of Chappell's Florist in South Burlington and Sally's Flower Shop in Winooski both shut down operations for weeks starting in March, in the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak. Kristin Eaton bought Chappell's a few years ago but has managed it for nearly three decades.

Entrepreneur forages for wild flowers - Vermont Biz

When she went to college in upstate New York, she majored in creative writing and often found herself writing about flowers.  After graduation, she worked at a bookstore in Burlington where she spent countless hours reading all the flower-related works the store had to offer. During this time, she knew if she wanted to work in the floral industry she just had to go for it.Photo: Floral arrangement. Courtesy photo.In 2010, she took a class and earned a certificate in Floral Design from the New York Botanical Gardens’ Summer Intensive Program in New York. Temporarily living back home in Connecticut, she started growing flowers and selling them at local farmers markets. At the market, people were always commenting about how much they liked her arrangements and were asking if she did floral arrangements for weddings.  She wanted to pursue the offers, but Nectar and Root at the time was basically a booth at a farmers market. When Ostreicher returned to Vermont, she knew she needed to turn her venture into a legitimate business, so she sought the assistance of Simeon Geigel, a counselor with the Micro Business Development Program in Burlington. With the help of Geigel and the MBDP, Ostreicher learned how to create a business plan, register her business and market her services.“Her growth as a successful entrepreneur has been an evolution. Erin’s willingness to ask questions, seek input, analyze situations and follow her heart has allowed her to take calculated steps forward to grow her business,” said Geigel.For a first few years, she worked out of a small rented studio space on Pine Street in Burlington. As she worked more weddings, she got to know more people in the wedding industry and through word of mouth, her business picked up.  All the while, she was working out of a cramped space that was not ideal for arranging large bouquets of flowers or meeting potential clients.  In 2018, a storefront became available, so she moved Nectar and Root to West Canal Street in Winooski. There she can meet with clients and there is an area for housing and arranging flowers. In that first year at her new location, Nectar and Root provided floral design for 37 weddings. In the last three years, her work has been featured in Brides, Martha Stewart Weddings and The Knot.“It’s great being able to do something I love. One of the strangest things about this is how I will be wearing a beautiful dress one day at this gorgeous wedding surrounded by my work and the very next day I’m out in the woods covered in dirt lo... https://vermontbiz.com/news/2019/july/04/entrepreneur-forages-wild-flowers

With Bryan Clauson in mind, Zeb Wise wins the second BC 39 - Indianapolis Star

Tyler Kraft Indianapolis Star Published 9:49 AM EDT Sep 6, 2019 In between photos, Zeb Wise bent his head and took a deep breath.  The 16-year-old gripped the Driven2SaveLives BC 39 trophy as another wave of family, friends and team members swarmed the stage in the middle of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway dirt track. Then he was back again, smiling with a wreath of red flowers around his neck and a check for $15,000 in hand. This race means more to Wise than most.

America in Bloom judges coming to Mansfield - Mansfield News Journal

This year's judges will be Linda Cromer and Tim France, according to America in Bloom.  Cromer has served her community, Greendale, Indiana, in a variety of political positions including planning commissioner, chairwoman of the park board and tree board and housing authority commissioner. She sits on the executive boards and plays an active role in the efforts of several national and state non-profit organizations dedicated to social justice and environmental issues. Cromer, who received a fine arts education at the University of Kansas, learned to love gardening at her grandmother’s knee. Owner and operator of a floral shop and greenhouse for over a decade, she has spent the bulk of her professional life traveling as an international representative for a labor organization and has used those travel opportunities to audit design and horticulture classes at a number of universities, and to study the diversity and individuality of public gardens and the communities where they are located. She is past president and active member of the local Garden Club and spearheaded her community’s first participation in the America in Bloom Program in 2005. France has been serving as the Coshocton Municipal Court judge since 2006, currently serving his third six-year term. He has been involved with the community in various capacities, including serving on the board for Coshocton Community Housing, which provides homes for people with developmental disabilities. He is president of Coshocton is Blooming, a non-profit board established to participate in America in Bloom. His talent for planting and nurturing flowers began about 20 years ago, when his daughter’s junior high track boosters raised money by planting flowers in the 30 downtown planters. The planters were planted in May and were dead by July. He realized that someone needed to take more responsibility, so he hauled water in the back of his truck to keep the plants alive all summer. Still, they were not thriving. The next year, he convinced the local Rotary Club to donate different flowers and the City of Coshocton to allow usage of spigots and city water. He completed the Master Gardener program through the Ohio State University Extension Office. He has personally designed and planted the courthouse and city flowerbeds and helped Coshocton is Blooming obtain planters for every intersection in the city, according to America in Bloom. Finally, he piloted a program to replace the old containers on Main Street to enhance the architecture of the city buildings. The planters have grown from 30 to more than 400, including 96 hanging baskets. To date, more than 250 communities from 45 states have participated in the program and more than 22 million people have been touched by it. Awards will be announced Oct. 3-5 at AIB’s National Symposium & Awards Celebration, this year in St. Charles, Illinois.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA 21) —  Each month, ABC 21 partners with Junior Achievement of Northern Indiana to showcase ‘Young Entrepreneurs’ in our area.For June, we introduced Emma Browning, 21, and her business: Emmie’s Flower Cart.It’s a mobile, self-serving flower cart where you walk up and pick any flowers you want to create a bouquet. They’re priced by the stem.Afterward, they wrap the bouquet up for you and send you on your way.It’s usually set up on Saturday mornings on Wayne Street in downtown Fort Wayne.The business is owned by Emma, but it is really a family affair.“At the end of the day, they really help me so much and I really couldn’t do it without them, seriously. So, I’m really thankful for my family,” Emma proclaimed.The family got the idea when they saw a flower truck in Nashville. They decided to bring the idea back to Fort Wayne.Emma said that it’s meant to help her pay for her nursing courses at the University of Saint Francis, but it has another purpose.“A lot of people say ‘this just makes me so happy,’ and that’s just really what we want. We want people to co... https://wpta21.com/news/2019/06/15/young-entrepreneur-of-the-month-emma-browning/

Pumas duo score 22 points in victory over Flowers in Summer Madness play - The Prince George's Sentinel

Basketball League action between CH Flowers HS and Wise HS in Largo, Maryland. Photos by Chris Thompkins/Prince Georges SentinelAccording to the transfer, he already has two scholarship offers from Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) and Rhode Island University with other schools expressing interest. However, Thomas said he does not allow it to get to his head and is focused on finding ways to get to bond his new teammates.“I just like to play,” said Thomas. “But I try to find a way to bond with the team off the court, like we got group chats, FaceTime each other, and we play video games together. Just the little things like that help. I like my teammates and my coaching staff, they let me hoop and that’s all I really have to do.”The second half featured much of the same rhythm with Wise taking charge. Frager continued to orchestrate the offense, pushing the ball in transition for easy buckets and made big defensive plays of his end.Meanwhile, Flowers attempted a comeback but Brooks could not convert many of his shots during the second half. Jase Mosley, a rising sophomore for the Jaguars, tried to carry the load with two 3-pointers late in the contest, finishing with 10 points.Unfortunately, the Pumas’ lead was too much for their 4A rivals to handle during their summer league encounter.After finishing their first season with Head Coach Lou Wilson with 17 wins, the Pumas will be looking to surpass their third round exit in the state playoffs and become a contender in the 4A division.“I think we have the potential to be a real solid ball club,” said DeBerry. “I think a lot is going to depend on how we progress from this point going forward. The season is a long way ahead, a lot of things can happen, good or bad but I like where we are right now as a team.” Post Views: 264 ... https://pgs.thesentinel.com/2019/06/19/pumas-duo-score-22-points-in-victory-over-flowers-in-summer-madness-play/
