Sales aren’t blooming: Florists adjust during pandemic - Midland Daily News

Ms. Bobola said she had to shut down the florist because wholesalers where Bobola Farms receives flowers from in New Jersey and Pennsylvania were closed. Bobola Farms will begin selling some produce in the upcoming weeks; first up are strawberries, which have started to bloom. Bobola Farms has been open since the late 1990s and Ms. Bobola said she never experienced anything like this. She hopes Mother’s Day can help bring back some normalcy but reminded that everything is limited. “It’s the longest we’ve ever been closed,” Ms. Bobola said. “You’ve got to get started somewhere, so we’re just going to do the best we can. I hope people will be patient. We’ll do everything we can to be as close to normal but there will be substitutions. I hope people understand this isn’t easy but we’ll work with them.” Florists are following all protocols recommend by the Centers for Disease Control to help limit the spread of COVID-19. This includes wiping down all vases, wearing gloves while handling flowers and disinfecting the store every night. It also includes contact-free delivery, where the driver will call the customer when the flowers are on the steps of their home. Mrs. Fries said Jen-Mor had to lay off part of its staff when the pandemic first began. She added it has been able to slowly bring back some of the staff. The loss of workers has made the busy weeks even more stressful. “It’s been exhausting,” Mrs. Fries said. “The few of us that are here are doing the work of more people. There’s only so much we can do with this staff so our inventory is smaller than usual.”... https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Sales-aren-t-blooming-Florists-adjust-during-15258683.php

You don't think it's going to happen months down the road and still not know how to combat this virus,” she says.Coppola’s Garden Center, located in South Plainfield, New Jersey, is also preparing to reopen. A general manager, who wished to remain anonymous, shared that the IGC has taken serious precautions to ensure a safe reopening. “We're not letting anybody in our store. We built outdoor cash registers that are under our overhang, with complete plexiglass shields about 8-feet high. Our cashiers are completely enclosed, so there's no direct contact with the customers,” he says. “We actually got innovative. We slip the receipt through a dryer vent, so it closes one way and you slip the receipt through there. We're not accepting cash at this time, just credit card only.” Coppola’s has put up many signs that remind customers to keep their distance and to wear their masks, and they’ve also placed line markers to ensure customers are six feet apart. The IGC is located in Middlesex County, and of publication date, the county had 11,102 confirmed coronavirus cases. Gov. Phil Murphy requires all citizens in the state of New Jersey to wear a face covering “when shopping at essential retail businesses, entering a restaurant or bar to pick up takeout orders, and when traveling on trains, buses, light rail, or paratransit vehicles.”“We're a family business, and we're going over-the-top extreme for safety,” he says. He is hopeful that Mother’s Day is profitable, but says sales remain uncertain. Along with the pandemic, he says New Jersey experienced bad weather throughout the month of April. However, he’s hopeful. https://www.gardencentermag.com/article/nunan-florist-greenhouses-bouquet-giveaway/

I’m a New York bride who had to cancel her wedding 6 days before it was supposed to happen. We’ve rescheduled, but the financial and emotional stress hasn’t gone away. - Business Insider

Jaclyn Regan of Staten Island, New York is one such bride: Her New Jersey wedding was canceled six days before it was supposed to happen in March. The cancellation has been emotionally and financially difficult for Regan and her fiancé, Angelo Fallacaro: They lost around $3,000 and are left with now useless, date-specific decor, from champagne flutes to personalized T-shirts. The couple has rescheduled their big day – and Regan says that compared to how others are suffering right now, they know their problems are small. Visit Business Insider’s homepage for more stories. On March 14, one week before our wedding, a manager from the catering hall where we were about to be married called and asked how we felt about postponing. At the time, the threat of the coronavirus was still very new, so while the outbreak was on my mind, it really hadn’t been a major concern. We live in Staten Island, where at the time only one case had been confirmed. It was still too early to grasp just how devastating this virus was going to be. So we sat down with our families, talked over our options, and scheduled a meeting at our venue – South Gate ... https://www.businessinsider.sg/new-york-bride-postponed-wedding-due-to-coronavirus-2020-5
