South Broadway and was sold to Bob Socin in 1956.Mr. Socin sold Duff Gardens to Pete, Dolly and Rosemary in 1976. Pete & Dolly Santrach and their two children moved from Minnesota to California in 1956. Pete was a Marine at Camp Lejeune until sent to Camp Pendleton. Pete left the service and over the years worked as an administrator for the Escondido school districts, for groups of doctors and for Baker Enterprises. Pete & Dolly had six more children in California. Four boys and four girls and now 16 grandchildren and one great grandchild.Dolly’s sister Rosemary Gornick learned the techniques of the floral business from a school in Cleveland, Ohio and opened her floral business in her hometown of Chisholm, Minnesota. In 1957 she moved to California (following her sister) and worked for Casa De Las Florist in Del Mar for many years and for Bob Socin and Duff Gardens before starting Rosemary’s Floral on Grand Avenue in downtown Escondido in 1974.Duff Gardens and Rosemary’s Floral merged in 1982 and built the Spanish style building where the business resides today.Aunt Rosemary passed away in 2015. Dolly Santrach passed in 2018.Today the business has four partners: Mary Ann Santrach, Rozanne Reguly, Luanne Csonka and Joanne Santrach. The sisters/nieces bought the business from their parents, Pete and Dolly and aunt, Rosemary in 1988.Mary Ann’s specialty is floral design.

Mary Ann says that nearly every day Bob will stop by the shop to say hello. Rosemary Duff Florist has designed florals for many weddings, events and special occasions throughout San Diego and designed florals for celebrities Oprah Winfrey, Barbara Streisand and Martha Stewart. “But we most appreciate our lon... https://www.times-advocate.com/articles/rosemary-duff-florist-a-landmark-business/

'No regrets': Longtime Sioux Falls florist leaves legacy of success - Argus Leader

Pat Gustaf, who owned and operated Gustaf's Greenery in Sioux Falls from 1986 until 2018, died Monday at age 67. Gustaf decided to close the Minnesota Avenue flower shop last year after battling renal cell carcinoma for two years. "No regrets. Truly no regrets at all," he told the Argus Leader in December. "I think we've made our mark on the world." Gustaf grew up on the north end of Sioux Falls and attended O'Gorman High School, according to his obituary. Early on, his love for flowers and plants was already flourishing: He began working at Earl May Garden Center in Sioux Falls while still in high school. After starting his own business at the Western Mall in the early 1970s, Gustaf and his sister Jean opened Gustaf's Greenery in 1986. "He was probably the most social person I ever met," Jean Gustaf said of her brother.

"He'd say yes to everything. I'd say, 'No, we can't do that,'" Jean said, laughing. Gustaf's daughter, Karlee Bathke, echoed her aunt's sentiments. "He would make friends wherever we went because he wanted to know everyone’s story," she said. "He wouldn’t just make small talk; he truly connected with each and every person he met." Pat always valued spending time in his community, Jean said. In addition to running his own... https://www.argusleader.com/story/news/business-journal/2019/10/31/longtime-sioux-falls-florist-leaves-legacy-success-gustafs-greenery/2501479001/
