New Urban Farm Brings Cheer to Deserving Community

Route 6, this spring.After the sale became final, the first two essential items the women had delivered were a port-a-potty and a truckload of compost.This new urban farm, at 46 Atwood St., only began its growing season two months ago. The seeds were planted late in the season because there was plenty of other work to do first. For one, the property was covered in pavement.Some 4,000 square feet of parking lot was torn up and transformed into an organic raised-bed "field" of flowers, both perennial and annual. Purviance, the farm’s horticultural director, has years of garden cultivation and management experience.“I worked in the fine-gardening business for a long time, and I worked for very high-end clients. A lot of them really didn't even appreciate what it was to have a garden and how much a flower really means,” said Purviance, 57, a 30-year resident of Providence. “I get so much more satisfaction out of working on this project than I did working for people who take that for granted.”The nonprofit flower farm with two full-time farmers — Purviance and Doggett, who as the program director also handles the administrative side of things; Holland is the communications manger — and with support from volunteers, grows organic flowers on a brownfield site.They give their product away to “people who deserve flowers but don’t have access,” Purviance said.To supply those people who deserve flowers, What Cheer Flower Farm has partnered with Amos House, the Ronald McDonald House of Providence, and Meals on Wheels of Rhode Island. The women deliver bouquets and buckets of cut flowers to these institutions and other partners.About 90 percent of the flowers currently being grown at the farm were started from seed by Purviance in her kitchen and in a friend’s basement. The rest of the plants were donated by Green Animals Topiary Garden in Portsmouth.The farm doesn’t plan on growing vegetables, because it doesn’t want to compete with Southside Community Land Trust and other urban farmers.Besides brightening people’s lives with free flowers — 1,000 have so far been donated — the nonprofit’s mission also includes reversing urban blight, creating a job training center for Rhode Island residents to help them enter the state’s $2.5 billion “green” economy, and making Providence famous for urban flower farming.Chicken manure from Scratch Farm and horse manure from a gentleman farmer in Rehoboth, Mass., have been used to build soil. The property’s 70,000-square-foot monstrosity will be dealt with after another raised flower bed is installed. The farm rents a meter from Providence Water, which allows it to use a fire hydrant for watering. The water is stored in donated tanks of various sizes.Where the dilapidated buildin... https://www.ecori.org/smart-growth/2018/8/3/new-urban-farm-gives-back-to-community-literally

Pandemic impacts flower supplies ahead of Mother's Day - KSHB

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — This Sunday marks Mother's Day, and it's not too late to order flowers for the moms in your life. However, you may not get exactly what you want.Like many things these days, it stems from the COVID-19 pandemic.Cheryl White, owner of The Fiddly Fig on Holmes, explained the impact on her supply chain."A lot of flowers come from all over the world, usually flown in. There's no flights or very few flights, and the flowers can't get here," she said.The Fiddly Fig just reopened after a four-week closure. The business has a limited crew working staggered shifts to get orders ready for Mother's Day. White posted a disclaimer on her site to let customers know flower choices are limited this year."We'll do our very best to make sure it looks like the picture," she said.Most major online services have existing substitution policies allowing florists to change colors or flower varieties in arrangements. Teleflora's website currently says that "due to flower supply challenges, ou... https://www.kshb.com/news/coronavirus/pandemic-impacts-flower-supplies-ahead-of-mothers-day
