Keirstead's Flower Shop Still Has Strong Saint John Roots - Huddle - Huddle Today
Sunday, July 05, 2020G. Keirstead whose passion for flowers led him to first rent a stall at the City Market in 1925.Keirstead’s operated out of the market from 1925 to 1946, until he purchased property on the corner of Charlotte and Princess Street where the shop still operates to this day.Dean said the building survived the Great Saint John Fire of 1877 and used to be a hardware and butcher shop, which were combined to make Keirstead’s.“You have some of the old coolers that we still have from back when they opened up this shop in the 40s,” she shared, which is where they store the flowers.The shop has been run by Brian Keirstead since 1999, who turned the building’s upper level into a museum and gift shop, selling works of local artists such as Fred Ross and Mary Galbraith until it closed a few years ago.From Mid-March to Easter Keirstead stayed open at reduced hours throughout the pandemic, then closed for a few weeks until they reopened before Mother’s Day on May 9.“It’s really difficult getting flowers right now. They’re just starting to come back, but it’s not where it used to be; it’s a little difficult and it’s a little pricier to get flowers right now too,” said Dean. “But other than that, as long as people give us a lot of notice for specialty items we can get them in.”Working reduced hours and with a reduced stock of flowers during spring and prime flower-giving occasions, from Easter to Mother’s Day to Professional Secretary’s Day, was difficult.“It’s been a struggle and most people are understanding about it, but you do get to the odd person that really is not happy and there’s nothing we can do,” she said. Keirstead’s Flowers interior (Image: Elizabeth MacLeod) Except for bringing in their two plant maintenance staff members Keirstead’s has not brought back any of its staff.“Some of the offices have opened back up so they’re able to work a couple of days a week, but the rest of the staff, there’s not enough business to bring them back,” she said.While summer is normally a quiet period, they have had plenty of orders to keep busy wit... https://huddle.today/keirsteads-flower-shop-still-has-strong-saint-john-roots/
The Best Gift for a Flower Lover Is Moda Operandi's Flash Flower Box - TownandCountrymag.com
Monday, August 24, 2020The box is a collaboration between Moda Operandi Co-Founder Lauren Santo Domingo and Lewis Miller, florist extraordinaire and the man behind the exuberant flower arrangements that have shown up around New York City, bursting out of trash cans and perched next to subway entrances. Each box—there are two you can choose from, Country Wildflower, or Beach Bloom—contains enough blooms for several generous arrangements. They're also accompanied by a series of breezy instructional videos starring Miller himself, explaining how to trim, hydrate, and arrange your flowers.The gift here is not just the gorgeous blossoms but the chance to spend an hour arranging them. My box arrived, neatly packed with 15 creamy white peonies, 10 stems of upright bouvardia, 10 stems of soulful, green helleborus, and 20 stems of cheerful white spray roses. I arrayed my collection of vases, pulled out my clippers, and for a brief moment in time I thought about nothing more than color, proportion, and the balance of green and white. It was a tonic. Here's a sampling of my handiwork: Elizabeth Angell(My only complaint is that I do not own a lazy susan for properly positioning my vase as I work to fill it. I may have to upgrade my set up for future floral-arranging sessions.)The incredible arrangements are available for one more week; a Standard Box is $265 and a Delux is $425. Even better, Moda Operandi will donate $15 from the sale of each Standard Box and $25 from each Deluxe Box to The Loveland Foundation, in support of its mission to bring opportunity and mental health services to Black women, girls, and communities of color. div clas... https://www.townandcountrymag.com/style/home-decor/a32910308/moda-operandi-lewis-miller-flash-flower-box/

The staff was creating about 50 bouquets Tuesday morning.While the vases and some of the flowers are donated, the owner is doing much of this out of her pocket.That is not easy, considering her business has plummeted by about 60 percent during the pandemic.

"I just assumed that we were non-essential and we wouldn’t get the orders. Now, there is this gray area and we are uncertain if we are essential."According to Graham, her shop may be deemed essential because floral industries could fall under the food and agriculture category.Now, they are waiting for the health department's decision."Once we have that clearance we will move forward, whether it’s closing our doors completely and shutting down; or we will continue doing what we are doing," Graham said.Despite the whirlwind changes, Graham is looking on the bright side of the pandemic.
