Thursday, April 02, 2020She then has taken the time to drivearound our community and placed those fresh flowers in areas of communityawareness to help bring a little smile to everyone’s face during thischallenging time.”Jim Carman, President, Houston Region, The Howard Hughes Corporation, stated, “Sprout Floral has graciously donated their flowers to provide a ‘get well’ gesture for our community. We appreciate their efforts and hope that we can all return to normal soon.”Dawn Candy, Mayor Pro Tem for the City of Oak Ridge North, shared, “It’s a wonderful way to spread beauty and hope in our community. Fresh flowers always make us feel renewed and it is very much needed and appreciated during this time.“ AdvertisementLike other businesses, the COVID-19 outbreak has been devastatingfor the floral industry, leaving florists, vendors and wholesalers with perishableproduct after the deluge of cancelled events, weddings, and celebrations.Brides and events are requesting for deposits back. Farms are throwing awayflowers, not bringing product to markets, and the logistics of shipping flowersis not worth the effort for many distributors during this time. Ann shared thecrisis is catastrophic, with many farms and florists expected to go out ofbusiness.“Our business is slow, but I have faith, I have optimism, andwe run a tight ship financially. I can’t last forever, but I can last a couplemonths. I’m so blessed to be sponsored to create the installation.”Despite the decrease in business and inability to receiveflower shipments in the foreseeable future, Ann is thankful that her smallbusiness is prepared.

Sprout Fine Floral Concepts also offers a “no-touch delivery”with no danger of contact that Ann calls “ring, drop and ditch” where she willring the doorbell, drop off the gift at the door, stay within social distancingstandards to ensure the package is received, and be on her way. Ann shared that how florists do business is rapidly evolving and changing during this time, shifting to having an online presence like never before.

'It's up in the air': Louisville-area florists hustle ahead of a pandemic Valentine's Day - Courier Journal
Wednesday, March 31, 2021LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Valentine's Day hustle at Susan's Florist gets started well before the calendar turns to February.Myriad roses need to be ordered for the storefront at 2731 Preston Highway. Grids have to be taped on top of colorful vases to hold up flowers during transportation. And, of course, flowers must be arranged in said vases for the special occasion.And though this year's Valentine Day is anomalous for multiple reasons — it's on a Sunday, a non-workday for many, and in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic — the 73-year-old flower shop is ready to do what it has done for nearly a year now: stay nimble and make special deliveries for its many customers.But like other holidays, COVID-19 continues to throw a wrench in everyone's plans."We really don't know what to expect," said Jessie Smith, lead designer for Susan's Florist.

Melbourne Florists Feel the Force of the Pandemic - PRNewswire
Wednesday, March 31, 2021MELBOURNE, Australia, March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- One industry that has been severely affected by prolonged and snap lockdowns is Australia's florists. Local Melbourne flower shops, such as Amazing Graze Flowers, have been forced to discard blooms they could have otherwise sold.Continue ReadingFlower Delivery in MelbourneWhile other industries have also been affected, the florist industry, in particular, is a slave to the nature of its product. Once flowers have been cut, they have a short shelf-life where they either need to be sold or discarded. Lockdowns have put Amazing Graze Flowers and many florists into a less-than-desirable situation as they were forced to get rid of stock ordered in anticipation of flower delivery in Melbourne.The halt of events and weddings also had repercussions for local florists, reducing one of their most profitable revenue streams for close to a year. Now that gatherings are permitted, there are those who are making big orders again. However, local florists say that many have decreased their budget for flowers, opting to have a scaled-back version of the event they'd once imagined.On the other... https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/melbourne-florists-feel-the-force-of-the-pandemic-301243018.html
N.J. communities mourn those lost to COVID-19 with flowers and memories - NJ.com
Wednesday, March 31, 2021Passaic EMT.At each location, including a Passaic fire station and Anthony E. Russo Park in Union, family and friends eulogized their loved ones and laid a flower for them, said Amanda Elisca, the florist who coordinated the events across the state.The effort is part of the Floral Hearts Project, a nationwide initiative pushing for an official national day of morning for those lost to COVID-19, said Elisca. As of Tuesday morning, there were more than 100 hearts laid out across the country, she said.But for Elisca, the push to bring the memorial to New Jersey was more personal. Her father, Cesar Perez, an EMS supervisor in Passaic, was a mentor and longtime friend of Israel “Izzy” Tolentino, the Passaic firefighter who died last March from the coronavirus, and a friend of Kevin Levia, an EMT in Passaic who also died from the virus.The day of mourning was for those who were left behind, missing their loved ones and in need of a way to express their grief a year later, she said.“These people don’t have anyone to reach out to,” said Elisca. “Usually if you lost someone you can get a hug from a friend. And we can’t do that now. Even a year into the pandemic, it’s even more important for us to reach out to people and to do these types of things.”In Passaic, mourners gathered at the West Side Fire Station, remembering Tolentino and Levia. Both Perez and Tolentino’s wife, Maria Vazquez, were at the event, with Vazquez laying flowers for her husband and Perez in full uniform remembering his friend he’d call, “Nudge.”“It was very, very emotional at the firehouse,” said Perez. “There had to be 100-something people.”In Union, mourners gathered at Anthony E. Russo Park,... https://www.nj.com/coronavirus/2021/03/nj-communities-mourn-those-lost-to-covid-19-with-flowers-and-memories.html
