Gardening: Flower shows offer spring in deep winter - The Providence Journal

I hope to go. From their photos and write-up, I imagine it will be similar in size and scope to the Vermont Flower Show — which is now an every-other year show, and is not occurring this year.Bangor, Maine, has an annual flower show, though I’ve never attended. This year it will be held in the Alfond Arena in Orono, Maine, on April 20 to 22. If you go, please contact me so I’ll learn more about it.Last year I crossed one more item off my “Bucket List”. My partner Cindy Heath and I flew to London and attended the Chelsea Flower Show. It is in a league by itself, both in size and scope. Mostly outdoors, it includes displays with full-sized trees planted for the week. Under a big tent are displays of flowers of every ilk: hellebores, alliums, iris, narcissus, tulips, vegetables, carnivorous plants and much, much more. To see my article about the show and see a dozen photos, go to dailyuv.com/feed/905682.The Chelsea Show is held this year May 22 to 26. If you plan to go, join the Royal Horticulture Society to get reduced prices and access before the rest of the world (the first two days are just for RHS members). One member can bring in three guests. The Brits love their flowers, and know how to celebrate them. Bring a flowered dress or vest and bowtie, and walk around drinking champagne if you wish — many people do.I called my friend Jill Nooney of Bedrock Gardens in Lee, New Hampshire, to talk about the flower shows. Jill has exhibited at the Boston Show seven times, winning many awards for her garden designs. I asked her, why go to the flower shows? “Nobody can resist the smell of humid mulch-filled air in the middle of March,” she said. I agree. We all need that taste of spring before all the snow has gone.— Henry Homeyer’s blog appears twice a week at dailyuv.com/gardeningguy. Write to him at P.O. Box 364, Cornish Flat, NH 03746.

Flowers, coins and changes in the air - Lewiston Sun Journal

Knights of Columbus Hall, with the next one scheduled for Sunday, May 1, beginning at 9 a.m. If you can't wait that long and are willing to travel just  a bit, the Pine Tree Coin Club in Bangor is hosting one on April 3 at the Black Bear Inn in Orono, also beginning at 9 a.m. For a listing of other shows around the state, visit  http://www.brunswickmainecoinclub.com/maine-show-calendar.html.DEAR SUN SPOTS: Thanks for the great column. You provide lots of information and are a good source to find out about area resources. Does your Rolodex have any listings for individuals or businesses that might manage or maintain Etsy or eBay accounts? Thank you. — No Name, Auburn.ANSWER: There are places nearby, like Goin' Postal on North River Road in Auburn, who will sell certain items on a consignment basis through their own eBay and Etsy accounts. However, as far as someone actually managing your accounts, Sun Spots has nobody in her Rolodex at this time. Maybe a reader has more information to share. DEAR SUN SPOTS: Still love you, as does everyone else, but I have an odd question, perhaps. Is someone else helping you write responses? The answers are as good as ever, don't get me wrong, but seem ... lighter? breezier? Or is it simply that spring is in the air and everyone's mood is brighter? Just wondering. — Faithful Reader, Mechanic Falls.ANSWER: Ah, spring. A time for fresh beginnings, when the seeds from seasons past find new roots and sprout up hope for warm days ahead. You are a keen observer, Faithful Reader. Shortly after the new year, the Sun Spots torch was passed to a new scribe. But while our writing styles may differ slightly, please be assured that we ... http://www.sunjournal.com/news/sun-spots/2016/03/18/flowers-coins-and-changes-air/1888859

Notes From the Garden: Flower Shows Start Soon - Valley News

Whittemore Center Arena at UNH, admission is only $8 or $6 for seniors. It is more than a flower show, with many home improvement companies present as well.The last flower show in New England is in Bangor, Maine, the BDN Garden Show (bdnmainegardenshow.com) April 15 to 17 held at the Cross Insurance Center. I’ve never been to it.Actually, the last — and perhaps the best — of the shows takes place May 24-28 in London: the iconic Chelsea Flower Show (www.rhs.org.uk/shows-events/rhs-chelsea-flower-show). I’ve never been, but am giving serious thought to going this year. I talked to a friend who has been there twice who said, “The Chelsea Show is the pinnacle of anybody’s garden show experience.” She told me to join the Royal Horticultural Society so that I can get in before the crowds.The show is less commercial than ours, I gather, and is both indoors and out. The scope of the show is absolutely amazing; it even includes masses of vegetables. And the Queen goes every year, too! Another friend sent me a link to a BBC special on the 2015 Chelsea Show, which got me even more excited about going: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMz6cgnc8f0.So go to a show, even if you can’t make it to London.Henry Homeyer gardens in Cornish Flat.

Flower shop target of online harassment after Shinkle abstains from Michigan vote - Detroit Free Press

Ashley Nerbovig  Detroit Free PressPeople threatened the life of a Republican on the Michigan canvassing board and tanked the online reviews of his brother's flower shop as the board voted to certify state election results Monday. Republican Norm Shinkle abstained from the vote, alluding to election issues in Detroit, while fellow Republican and Vice Chair Aaron Van Langevelde voted with the board's two Democratic members. The board certified the state election results, which showed Joe Biden earned about 154,000 more votes than President Donald Trump. The next step in the process is for Michigan's electors to cast the state's 16 Electoral College votes on Dec. 14. "I don't know about my Democrat colleagues, but I know Aaron and I received quite a few comments, outright threats, nasty emails telling me my family's at risk," Shinkle said. "I had one person even suggest simply, you got to vote yes to certify for the safety of your family."More: Michigan board votes to certify election results despite GOP calls to delayMore: Mich.

Plymouth flower shop closes after four decades as owner retires - Hometown Life

Museum, the Plymouth Chamber of Commerce and volunteering with Angela Hospice with flowers."We're always trying to do for others," she said.Then earlier this year, the coronavirus pandemic hit Michigan, forcing her to close her doors temporarily. During that time, she looked ahead to what doing business in a world occupied by COVID-19 looked like. She said she did not want to operate like that and risk her health. So she's decided to retire."While we were closed, every day in the news was something different," she said. "I just said, 'I think that it's time.'"'I'm going to miss the customers'Ribar, who still lives down the street from the floral shop, said she was sad to hear the shop still bearing her name would close, but understood why Morrison would decide to do it.She said meeting Morrison decades ago was an important point in her professional life."It would've been a monumental task (to stay open). She's a hard worker, always has been," Ribar said of Morrison. "She does anything you need to do and happy to do it. We did a good thing when we met Lori."Morrison planned to be out of the space by the end of the month. While Morrison said she's looking forward to spending time with family and friends or traveling near Christmas instead of working, she said she will miss the loyal customers that came in all the time looking for that personal touch in flowers. She said she hasn't ruled out helping out in other flower shops in the future; she said she's already had some people inquire if she wants to help during a busier season in the future."I'm going to miss the customers," she said. "I'm certainly not going to miss the long hours or smelling like sap. "I am going to miss the people I see every Christmas."... https://www.hometownlife.com/story/news/local/plymouth/2020/06/25/plymouth-floral-shop-closes/5306585002/
