GTPulse: Create Your Own Designer Floral Arrangements at Home With Floral Underground - 9&10 News

America’s Cup, which was the qualifier to send the U.S.A. representative to the World Cup. I was the runner up, so I like to call it the biggest loser,” Derek joked.Derek grew up in Jackson, Michigan and got his first floral shop opportunity in Traverse City. He fell in love with the area when he and his friend came up during high school. When Derek graduated he moved to Traverse City, Michigan and finished school at Northwestern Michigan College.“When I moved here I had a job lined up as a florist. It was Hibbard’s Flowers which used to be downtown. From there I worked for Weaver’s Flowers and Distinctive Flowers and then I started my own business.”Derek’s business, Floral Underground, is mostly lifestyle based, meaning that the business is mostly focused on providing flowers for people who home make or are using the flowers to enhance their interior. “It’s not so much about a funeral, I want them around me because this is how I live my life.”He provides flowers to some local businesses, but Floral Underground does the bulk of it’s business in subscription boxes that go beyond Northern Michigan. The boxes are curated by Derek depending on the season and new trends in floral design. He assembles boxes with everything his subscribers need to make an arrangement at home. He then shoots a video tutorial on how to assemble and design the arrangement for subscribers to follow.“It’s lifestyle floral. My client is the recreational floral designer. Because I’m a floral educator I want that to carry through on my product.”The boxes contain the flowers, a vase, a flower grid to help place flowers, plant nutrients, and finishing spray. The vases are from 46 & Spruce and are nice keepsakes of their own. If you would like to keep flowers regularly in your home with the added benefit of supplies and guidance, check out Floral Underground. If you would like to see Derek in action, he’ll be doing a demonstration at Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home for their holiday open house on December 14th. “There’s music, there’s food, they can tour the home. Peg Jonkhoff has me come in and do a live floral demonstration. I’m doing DIY centerpieces three ways is the theme.

In-state ATH Flowers 'in awe' during latest Penn State visit - 247Sports

Mehki Flowers was back on campus Saturday for the fourth time in four months, it went well again as he watched the Nittany Lions remain unbeaten with a “White Out” win against Michigan.“The atmosphere was amazing,” the 6-foot-1, 187-pound Flowers said. “I was speechless. I was in awe every time the crowd stood up and got loud. That’s, for sure, a place people want to be.”Since Flowers is a sophomore, college coaches cannot call him. However, he can call them and talk, but nothing beats getting face time with them, and he relished the opportunity again.“The coaches are great,” Flowers said. “They always have high energy. Every coach I talked to, they acted like they knew me for years and I’ve only known them a couple months. They definitely want you to feel like it’s a home.”Flowers also paid close attention to the game, and what took place between plays.“I saw a lot of positives from the team,” he said. “Every player had each other’s back. When one made a mistake it was like they all made a mistake. They’re brothers out there.”There were plenty of positives from the visit, but like with so many of the recruits in attendance, the overall ambience of the night trumped everything else.“What stood out the most to me is just the atmosphere,” he said. “And the game as a whole.”... https://247sports.com/Article/Mehki-Flowers-Penn-State-Nittany-Lions-white-out-football-recruiting-137415008/
