Preserved flowers are back. You can thank the pandemic - Sydney Morning Herald

Pearce thought she’d lost everything, it was, ironically, a product that has had the life sucked out of it that saved her.“Every event in my calendar got wiped within a week,” says Pearce, a Melbourne event stylist, about what happened to her business when the pandemic hit. “I thought, ‘Oh my god, I’ve just lost everything I worked for’.”Since launching a business during COVID-19 selling preserved flower arrangements out of Melbourne, Elleni Pearce's fortunes have bloomed.Credit:Simon SchluterAnd then Pearce, whose clients have included Westfield, Pandora, and the AFL, remembered something she’d bought for a store that, pre-pandemic, she’d planned on launching: preserved flowers.“I can’t keep up with the hydrangeas,” she says, of the sorbet-coloured flowers now flying out her door – among many other freeze-dried varieties of blooms including fairy-floss blue mini gypsophilia and pale peach stock flowers, that she mixes in bouquets – since she launched a new business, everbloome, in late April.AdvertisementShe’s sold about 1000 bouquets since launch.Pearce is far from the only person enjoying the preserved flower boom.When COVID-19 hit, Jane Lampe made a massive heart-shaped wreath f... https://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/fashion/preserved-flowers-are-back-you-can-thank-the-pandemic-20200630-p557ho.html

The Flower Bucket in Yarmouth County nurtures joy with flowers - TheChronicleHerald.ca

Benzakein. Fordham was inspired by the fact that someone was making a living from a flower farm and says she was hooked.“I started really loving arranging the flowers and creating designs. I’m not a florist but I just practiced and practiced. I started growing things that are good for cut flower production. Some flowers are better than others, they have longer vase lives than others.”She likes letting flowers do what they naturally want to do in a vase, instead of trying to control them. She says her mother was like that too. Fordham is also in her element when it comes to arranging material that’s in season locally.“If it’s in bloom and it looks beautiful and it’s going to last in a vase, then I’ll cut it. I’ll cut anything!” she laughs.“I drive around with snippers in my car (for wild material or cultivated, and cut with permission.) You never know what you’re going to see.”Each morning she visits the flowers on their property, cutting those that have reached perfection. These are placed in buckets of water for the day’s arrangements.She custom designs each bouquet according to the price point supplied by each customer, sometimes including plants like basil and mint for their fragrance.Last Christmas season she held a highly successful wreath making workshop. It’s something she plans on doing in other seasons, when she has time.“Everyone made their own and every creation was beautiful and original. There was Christmas music playing, hot cider, it was so much fun.”Fordham says this is The Flower Bucket’s first serious year as a business.She’s learning to accept failures along with success, when it comes to growing specific flowers.“I’m so new to all this and learning as I go. Maybe I won’t grow that flower there next time, or maybe I didn’t start it early enough. I’ve learned to focus on things that need my attention the most.”Once a week she walks her gardens and makes herself a bouquet for the week. “It’s my favourite thing to do on Sundays,” she says.The practice of giving flowers is a wonderful one, she adds, especially because of their finite lifespan.“We all have too much stuff. That’s why I love flowers. You can give flowers to somebody and they get to experience it for a couple of weeks and then it’s done. They don’t have to put it on their shelf somewhere and feel bad if they ever throw it away. It’s like eating food. You eat it and enjoy it and then it’s done.”How to contact The Flower BucketContact The Flower Bucket through FacebookOr InstagramOr by email... https://www.thechronicleherald.ca/business/local-business/the-flower-bucket-in-yarmouth-county-nurtures-joy-with-flowers-482841/
