Marrazzo's Florist To Move If LMT Development Approved: Report - Patch.com
Sunday, February 09, 2020LOWER MAKEFIELD TOWNSHIP, PA — Marrazzo's Manor Lane florists, a fixture in Lower Makefield, will move, but stay open, if a new residential development at its current site is approved. The Intelligencer reports that developer Cedar Crossing Investors is seeking variances to build 11 homes on about three acres of land at Marrazzo's current location, at Yardley-Morrisville and Pine Grove roads. The paper writes that the two-story townhouses would be about 2,800-2,900 square feet, with four bedrooms, according to plans filed with Lower Makefield Township. The development would be at the site of the third-generation Marrazzo's, which was established in 1947 in the Manor Lane section of Morrisville. It moved to its current location, the site of an existing nursery, in 1984, according to the paper. Mike Marrazzo told The Intelligencer that there's a deal in place to sell the land. If Lower Makefield approves the development, the family business will relocate nearby, he said. "Once we know where this is going, then we're going to try to look fo... https://patch.com/pennsylvania/yardley/marrazos-florist-move-if-lmt-development-approved-report
Ask Jerry: Order flowers, gifts from a local purveyor - Seacoastonline.com
Sunday, February 09, 2020The quality was not great. I dont want that to happen again.Can you advise me in time for Valentines Day?Marc E., Grand Rapids, Mich.Yes. Order your flowers from a local florist. By local, I mean a florist in the town or city where the flowers are being delivered.If you know someone in that area, ask for a florist recommendation. Otherwise, search the Internet for local florist names and read the reviews. Since reviews are not always authentic, you can also check online for public libraries in your flower recipients neighborhood. Then, call the librarian for florists listed in that area. And ask the librarian off the record whether he or she has any personal florist suggestions. It is off the record because librarians normally give information they can document with a published source. It is not within their routine purview to give personal opinions. That need not stop you from asking off the record.Once you identify a promising local florist, call and speak with the owner, the manager, or a conscientious-sounding employee. Request the name of that individual and address the person by name. Be specific about what you want to purchase, the importance of freshness, how the card should read, the delivery time, and any other relevant particulars. Make it clear you are a potentially future customer.When ordering flowers or anything perishable (i.e., candy, fruit, etc.), it is best to communicate with that personal touch. A gift recipient is often reluctant to inform you when your gift arrived in less-than-perfect condition. Accordingly, you want to feel confident. You want it handled properly. Though this process ... https://www.seacoastonline.com/news/20200209/ask-jerry-order-flowers-gifts-from-local-purveyor

She said: “It is an absolute honour to be working with Hillier again, particularly this year as the company celebrates its history with its exhibit. The design this year is intended to capture the essence of Hillier, stand out and be memorable, at the same time as featuring the detailed stunning planting and variety that Hillier is known for.” The garden will feature 21 mature trees as well as Many of the plants grown on the Hampshire nursery and available in its 17 Hillier Garden Centres, which include branches at Winchester and Three Legged Cross.

Removing geranium blossoms, keeping cut flowers fresh and rabbit troubles - West Fargo Pioneer
Sunday, February 09, 2020N.D. listen live watch live A: The preservative that florists supply is specially formulated to help cut flowers last longer by increasing water uptake and reducing growth of harmful organisms that might block cut stem surfaces. Although 7UP might reduce the growth of organisms, and sugar might supply some saplike energy, the wrong proportions can do more harm than good. Although homemade recipes can be found, using the florist’s preservative is the safer alternative for success. Before initially putting cut flowers in a vase, giving each stem a fresh cut can promote better water uptake and longer life. ARCHIVE: Read more of Don Kinzler's Fielding Questions columns Q: Rabbits are totally destroying my young arborvitae evergreen. There’s hardly any greenery left, and they’ve gnawed off the twigs back to stubs. Will it come back in the spring from the part that is left? — C. Hansen, Fargo. A: Unfortunately, most evergreens, including arborvitae, don’t regenerate foliage on branches that have been chewed as severely as you describe. Last winter, rabbits chewed six of our young arborvitae, consuming branches on the way up as the snow depth increased, then finished the job on the way down, as snow melted. The shrubs required replacement. Deciduous (leafy) shrubs have an advantage, because most have the ability to branch freely from the base if rabbits consume the upper twigs, or gnaw the bark. Damaged portions of lilac, dogwood, spirea, rose, hydrangea and other favorite rabbit edibles can be pruned back quite drastically in early spring, and most rebound fine, often better than before. If you have a gardening or lawn care question, email Don Kinzler, NDSU Extension-Cass County, at kinzlerd@casscountynd.gov or call 701-241-5707. Questions with broad appeal may be published, so please include your name, city and state for appropriate advice. https://www.westfargopioneer.com/lifestyle/home-and-garden/4922590-Removing-geranium-blossoms-keeping-cut-flowers-fresh-and-rabbit-troubles
