Tulip Fest had to be canceled, but Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm finds new life for flowers - OregonLive

So far, the farm has delivered 6,000 pots of tulips to assisted living centers in Mount Angel, Molalla, Canby, Albany and Eugene.“The farm will never see back the lost revenue from the festival,” said Iverson. “The $15 covers just a bit of the costs it takes to do this delivery. But this is not about money, this is about goodwill.”Criscola said a person can request tulips be delivered to a specific assisted living center or let farm officials figure out where the tulips would bring a bit of joy.“We reach out to a center and figure out the protocol for a delivery,” she said. “We make sure everyone in the center gets a pot. We deliver them to the front door, and then step back.”Iverson estimates all the tulips will be given away within the next couple weeks.“It makes us feel like we are doing something for the community,” she said.[embedded content]-- Tom Hallman Jr; thallman@oregonian.com; 503-221-8224; @thallmanjrSubscribe to Oregonian/OregonLive newsletters and podcasts for the latest news and top stories. https://www.oregonlive.com/hg/2020/03/tulip-fest-had-to-be-canceled-but-wooden-shoe-tulip-farm-finds-new-life-for-flowers.html

Florists will give away flowers today to Petal It Forward (photos) - OregonLive.com

Aurora and Canby on Wednesday."Supporting your local floral growers provides the chance for businesses, like ours, to give back to our local community," says Meskers, whose flower farm was started by his parents, Martin and Helene Meskers, more than 30 years ago and has grown to become Oregon's largest cut flower nursery. "Our goal is to promote positivity, happiness and joy with flowers grown from our family farm."Shirley A. Lyons and her team at Dandelions Flowers & Gifts in Eugene are making bouquets to give away with roses and lilies from Oregon Flowers."It is truly an all-industry event," says Lyons. "Growers, wholesalers and retailers like ourselves across America are working on our flower bouquets for Petal It Forward. The joy in the receivers' faces reminds us all that flowers really do make people happy."Portland-based Frank Adams Wholesale Florist collected the donated flowers from growers, as it done since the 2015 debut of Petal It Forward.The national event's title was inspired by the 2000 movie, "Pay it Forward," and the movement to respond to a kindness by doing a favor for someone else, who then does something nice for another person, and the acts of kindness spread.Since each florist chooses how to pass out the bundles, "be on the lookout for floral goodwill ambassadors roaming the streets spreading cheer," says Robyn Peterka, the cut flower manager and buyer of Frank Adams Wholesale Florist.Michelle O'Brien of Goose Hollow Flowers in Portland will give away bouquets near her shop and beyond. The florist's delivery driver will also hand out blooms along the way."My favorite part of the day is to recruit my kids after school to go forth and hand out flowers," says O'Brien, who is the mother of children, age 10, 14 and 17. "Getting flowers from a sweet little kid makes many ladies tear up. I'm always surprised at how many people tell us no one has ever g... http://www.oregonlive.com/hg/index.ssf/2017/10/free_flowers_petal_forward_pdx.html

Gardening: Growing Roses in the Triangle - CaryCitizen

I certainly have some but they need pruning and they do get diseases. I have had to remove a few due to the fungus Rose Rosette.“New Dawn,” a large flowered climbing rose – Photo by James CanbyFungal DiseasesAnd, that’s the other problem with roses in that they need to be checked often for disease. Below are the common problems with roses which happen to everyone:Black SpotPowdery MildewStem CankerBotrytis BlightRustStem Canker & Die BackTo prevent fungal disease, try to plant disease resistant varieties. Then always keep good circulation, water deeply at the plant base and keep the plant beds clean.Monitor your plants often to catch the problem early. Remove and destroy infected areas or plants to avoid spread. Treat with Neem to prevent.“Sutter’s Gold” hybrid tea rose – Photo by The Dow Gardens ArchiveOther Common ProblemsRose Rosette – Spread by mites and not curable. You need to remove the plant and treat other area roses with Bifenthrin.  All infected plants will die in three-to-four years.

CBS2 Investigates TerrysFlorist.com: ‘Of Course I Didn’t Get Any Refund’ - CBS New York

So I ordered flowers from the funeral home to be sent to his gravesite,” said Georgia resident Crystal Briggs.“They said that, ‘No, they tried to deliver it, and no one was there,'” said Minnesota resident Lauren Kriz. “Of course I didn’t get any refund.”The Better Business Bureau gives Terry’s an F rating.An attorney for Terry’s says “unsatisfied customers represent a small fraction of one percent of all its transactions.”One unsatisfied customer compares Terry’s to a florist we first told you about last year, TroysFlorist.com. It turned out not to be a flower shop at all, but an office space in East Brunswick.Troy’s business registration certificate included Kadri Erturk, also known as Atil Erturk, as a principal. Erturk created TerrysFlorist.com in 2019, according to his lawyer.Rozner tried to speak with him at his home in Colts Neck, New Jersey. His wife Yasemin Erturk, who’s listed as a registered agent on Terry’s business certificate, came to the door.“Hi, I’m looking for Atil,” Rozner said.READ MORE: Gov.

Upended by COVID-19, a Wayzata florist landed a federal loan. And then the wait started. - Minneapolis Star Tribune

Mattingly started her business nine years ago, and it was coming off its best year — posting $500,000 in sales — when COVID-19 reached Minnesota. Though her shop was allowed to remain open, Mattingly said her event business plummeted as couples postponed weddings and restaurants closed across the state. She applied for a PPP loan in April. “We’ve lost about 50% of our income because of weddings,” said Mattingly, whose shop usually does $150,000 in wedding arrangements each summer. “People aren’t canceling on us, but they are rescheduling, and a lot of that work won’t happen until 2021.” Mattingly’s small shop has just two full-time employees, and she sent them home in late March, shortly after the governor issued his first stay-home order. Flower shops were allowed to remain open for delivery business because they were deemed “critical” to the economy. She expected her retail business to collapse, but the shop stayed surprisingly busy. Mattingly said her online sales tripled as customers called in large orders for birthdays and anniversaries as a substitute for taking a loved one to dinner. But with her employees at home, Mattingly, who is pregnant, and her husband, Julian, had to do all the work. “It’s been a really crazy two months,” said Mattingly, who is due to deliver her first baby in July. “We have been working 12- and 14-hour days every week.” Mattingly wanted to rehire her workers shortly after Mother’s Day, but her PPP application was put on hold when the program ran out of money in mid-April. On April 25, after Congress agreed to make another $310 billion available to small-business owners, Wells Fargo sent her an e-mail telling her the bank would soon submit her paperwork. “These are truly unprecedented times that we know are impacting both you and your business, and we will continue to partner and communicate with you throughout this crisis,” Wells Fargo said in the e-mail. ... https://www.startribune.com/upended-by-covid-19-a-wayzata-florist-landed-a-federal-loan-and-then-the-wait-started/571366132/

Getting married? Designers make case for 'unusual and beautiful' Minnesota-grown flowers - Minneapolis Star Tribune

And that doesn’t have to mean settling for common garden-variety blooms picked in someone’s backyard. Minnesota flower farmers are growing increasingly varied and distinctive options for bouquets, boutonnieres and centerpieces. “I make the case for local with every bride, and I include local product in every wedding I do,” said Ashley Fox, Ashley Fox Designs, Woodbury. “As a designer and somebody who cares about the planet, it just feels good to do this.” There’s a misperception that local means rustic, she said. “We want brides to know that local flowers can look modern and innovative — not just a Mason jar full of daisies. We want to show people these flowers are cool.” It’s a message that Debra Prinzing, the Seattle-based author and founder of the “slow flowers” movement, has been spreading for more than a decade. Her books, “Slow Flowers” and “The 50-Mile Bouquet,” celebrate small flower farmers who are struggling to compete as big chain stores buy in bulk from growers all over the globe, driving prices down. ... https://www.startribune.com/getting-married-designers-make-case-for-unusual-and-beautiful-minnesota-grown-flowers/561464922/
