Foxgloves and Roses flower arranger Nicola Roberton from Letcombe Bassett, near Wantage, shortlisted for best in the ... - The Oxford Times

But it all comes down to a public vote and she has asked readers to champion her business before the deadline this week. Mrs Roberton, who lives with her husband, son and daughter in Letcombe Bassett near Wantage, said: "I'm not normally a big competition enterer, but I thought it would be good for my confidence. "For me it is a lifelong passion so it would be amazing to be recognise for doing it well." Mrs Roberton only set up her business Foxgloves and Roses six years ago but has already beautified 100 weddings. After going to St Swithun's primary in Kennington, where her parents Brian and Diane Moss still live, she went to Matthew Arnold School in Botley. Though she was always arty, she was encouraged to focus on something more serious and worked at a London PR firm, but still dreamed of becoming a florist. When she married David the couple moved back to Oxfordshire to raise their children and Mrs Roberton quit her city job. With a little more free time on her hands, she started growing flowers in the garden. She said: "I was digging up the lawn to grow more and more, then I started selling little bunches by the garden gate." When she started selling the cottage garden arrangements to other mums at the school, word rapidly spread and she was soon asked to do her first wedding. People fell in love with her natural style using seasonal flowers from her own garden in organic arrangements incorporating twigs and berries. She said: "After a couple of years doing weddings, I just s... http://www.oxfordtimes.co.uk/news/15074738.Mum_who_realised_lifelong_flower_arranging_dream_is_shortlisted_for_best_in_the_UK/

The next day, before leaving for Canada on their honeymoon, Politano and Ruckert collected the two dozen French bouquets from their wedding and delivered them to the Cooperstown hospital to be given to patients.The bride and groom have connections to the medical community, they said, so hospital patients are near to their hearts. Politano's mother, Denine Jacob, is director of compensation and benefits at Bassett.

Flowers found in centuries-old books at Antiquarian Society - Worcester Telegram

Penn had signed his treaty with the Indians, and the Charter Oak in Connecticut. The leaves are stitched into the pages.A book of artfully arranged clippings of sea moss was a gift from Hannah Bassett to her sister, Lydia Kyte, in 1848. They were members of a Quaker family prominent in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. “The color is just gorgeous,” Ms. Cataldo said. “It is so delicate. You would think this is artwork and not an actual plant.”The society has four original poems by Emily Dickinson in its collection, and Ms. Cataldo showed one that the poet had sent to a friend in Amherst sometime between 1879 and 1881. “It was a poem about dandelions,” she said. “You can see here Emily or her friend pressed a dandelion in the poem itself. You can just see traces of it. It’s just the ghost of the dandelion.“You really do have this connection to the past through a living thing,” Ms. Cataldo said. “You really see that this was used and this was important to someone - a real sign of life.”These flowers, leaves and locks of hair are relics, small pieces of the lives experienced by people now long gone, she said.“A lot of the hair we have in the collection appears in school albums,” she said. “Young girls would pass along beautifully braided hair to a friend, and then sign their name, and maybe include a short poem about memory. A lot of these poems have to do with death. They were really thinking ahead: This was me, this was who I was.”Mrs. Bocian-Pellicane recalled her own experience picking wildflowers on a trip to Ireland, pressing them into her guidebook.“It gives you a sense of smell and seeing. It rejuvenates that memory more than just the words could.“It’s a piece of life, a piece of history, a piece of memory.”Let's block ads! a href="https://github.com/fivefil... http://www.telegram.com/news/20161112/flowers-found-in-centuries-old-books-at-antiquarian-society

Citizen of the Year: Catlins fantastic florist - Champaign/Urbana News-Gazette

J.C. Penney in Danville, where she met her husband, Tim, then a manager trainee.She and Tim married in May 1987. That October, Tim's job with the department store took them to Iowa and then Nebraska, Kansas, Wyoming and Minnesota. In Nebraska, Welsh — who continued to work as a florist out west — directed community theater, served on the Miss Nebraska Pageant board of directors and directed the pageant for three years. In Wyoming, she was involved with the Cheyenne Frontier Days, billed as the world's largest outdoor rodeo and western celebration.In 2004, the couple and their young son, Tanner, moved back to Catlin to be near family. A couple of years later, Welsh opened Floral-n-Flair, a flower shop and event-planning business, in the same downtown building she started out in. She and business partner Kay Smoot also own and operate a gift boutique called Pauline's Attic.Welsh was working one evening when Stutsman popped in."Who got it, and how are we going to decorate?" she asked, thinking he'd stopped by to discuss the Citizen of the Year banquet at the Methodist Church, which she decorates.She was floored by his answer."It still hasn't sunk in," she said, the day before the banquet.While honored, Welsh was quick to acknowledge her "crew," including local high school students and residents who help her set up for community events, weddings and parties — and family. Tanner, who turns 21 this month, has autism, and Tim is his full-time caregiver and still finds time to help out at work."I wouldn't be able to do any of this without him," she said."It's always been a team effort," she continued, adding she learned that from her dad who helped out in many ways at the shop and home before he passed away a couple of years ago.Welsh recalled sitting at the family table years ago after her brother became a 1,000-yard rusher on his high school football team."My dad pointed to his picture on the front of the sports page and said, 'He wouldn't have done that without his line that blocked for him.' I've always remembered that. You can't do it alone. You have to surround yourself with good people and work as a team."... http://www.news-gazette.com/noelle-mcgee/2018-11-01/citizen-the-year-catlins-fantastic-florist.html

Four Floral Businesses To Receive The Century Award In Palm Springs

The 2018 Century Award honorees are: City Line Florist in Trumbull, Connecticut; Gould's Flowers in Lockport, New York; Janousek Florist & Greenhouse, Inc. in Omaha, Nebraska; and Lake Forest Flowers in Lake Forest, Illinois. "Each year when we gather at the SAF convention, we interact with business owners who have determination, vision and grit," said SAF Awards Committee Chairman Marvin Miller, Ph.D., AAF, of the Ball Horticultural Company in West Chicago, Illinois. "But to sustain that for 100 years or more is truly an impressive feat." City Line Florist Trumbull, Connecticut City Line Florist has been owned and operated by the Roehrich/Palazzo family since 1918. When Charles Roehrich returned home from World War I, he already had a family history in the floral industry; his grandfather had grown plants in greenhouses in Stratford, Connecticut, in the late 1800s. Charles borrowed a horse and wagon and sold flowering plants and cut flowers at the entrance of St. Michaels cemetery in Stratford, eventually opening up a storefront in Bridgeport, which sat on the city line of Stratford, leading to the name, City Line Florist. In 1975, Charles' son Bob and his grandchildren, Susan and Carl, decided to move to a new location in Trumbull, where they turned an old horse barn into a charming new florist shop. Bob received the Connecticut Florist of the Year Award in 2005. City Line, located in a quaint New England town of 30,000 people,  has been voted "Best Florist in Fairfield County" for several consecutive years and won the 2018 Small Busi... http://www.perishablenews.com/index.php?article=0069973

How an Ecuadorian rose makes the journey to your American sweetheart for Valentine's Day - The Denver Post

Denver. Amato broke into the wholesale business in January 1974. (The company started as a carnation grower in 1958.) It ships flowers across Colorado, but also to Kansas, Wyoming and Nebraska.President and CEO Heather Weickum was born in that first year. She grew up roller skating on the warehouse’s concrete floors after hours. Her father was a co-founder and eventually became the sole owner of the business.“This place was my only sibling growing up,” she said.Now Weickum runs the company and employs 70 people. Amato projects it will sell 130,000 stems of flowers over the Valentine’s holiday, tallying up hundreds of thousands of dollars in profit. The most popular varieties of roses can cost a retailer more than $70 a bunch.Amato can stock several hundred varieties of flowers at a time in the warehouse, and more than half of those are roses. They come in a rainbow of hues and gaggle of names, many inspired by the flower breeder’s daughter, mother or lover. Some names, such as Hot Nina, Lola and Jessika, call to mind an old flame. Others read like perfume ads tucked in a magazine: Pearl Avalanche, Sweet Unique, Cool Water. And then there are the names that beckon to whom they’re selling: Sweetness, Engagement, Soulmate. Rose breeders trademark these names and can receive royalties from other plantations that grow their variety.Most roses are natives of Ecuador. The year-round sunshine and high-altitude soil in the country’s m...
