Huge flower display outside Covenant Care of Pensacola looks to spread cheer - Pensacola News Journal

Avenue facility, according to Pallin, who said the whole idea was really centered around easing people's minds during the coronavirus pandemic. The "flower flash" was an idea created by a New York City florist. "It's mental wellness," she said. "Drive by and check out the flowers. It's just kind of a feel-good situation with these beautiful, beautiful spring flowers that aren't able to be sold in weddings and events." Another installation went up at Covenant Care's back entrance to welcome in front-line health care employees working to mitigate the virus' impact. Covenant Care is located at 5041 N. 12th Ave. Jake Newby can be reached at jnewby@pnj.com or 850-435-8538. https://www.pnj.com/story/news/2020/03/27/coronavirus-flower-display-outside-covenant-care-pensacola-spreads-cheer/2927048001/

South Bay History: Torrance flower producer once supplied gardenias and orchids nationwide - The Daily Breeze

Photo Collection)The advent of shipping by air meant that freshly cut gardenias, more prolific and easier to raise than orchids, could be harvested and processed in Torrance, and could arrive in New York City 24 hours later.Wright became one of the nation’s first and most successful flower growers to exploit the potential of transcontinental shipping.By the mid-1930s, he was growing and harvesting more than 5 million gardenias from his greenhouses. At one point, it was estimated that he was supplying New York City with 90% of its gardenias. That percentage decreased as he widened his shipping to other U.S. cities.He continued to build new greenhouses at his Torrance business throughout the 1930s, including some just for raising orchids. These specially tailored buildings used the latest technology for climate control and plant production. By 1940, he had 39 greenhouses with about five acres... https://www.dailybreeze.com/south-bay-history-torrance-flower-producer-once-supplied-gardenias-and-orchids-nationwide

Stuck inside? Tips for indoor gardening to bring green to your space while quarantined - USA TODAY

Tzvi Rauch, founder of Tier II Landscape Design in Brooklyn, New York, says he likes the Burpee Seed Starter Tray he bought on Amazon (about $40), which features a greenhouse-like transparent plastic cover over trays of 72 little pockets filled with "super-growing soil pellets" to grow such veggies and greens as lettuce, cucumbers, peppers and squash. "You buy the seeds on Amazon, add water on the soil, it blows up and you put in the seeds, and then mark each section and close the lid," Rauch says. "Put it in a sunny window. Within days they start growing. It's fascinating and really easy for urban people." 2. Go for easy-to-grow plants Schultz says some indoor plants need almost no care at all.A snake plant, also known as the "Mother-in-Law's Tongue," has air-cleaning properties according to recent studies, needs little light and "it's just plain hard to kill."A kalanchoe is a beautiful succulent that doesn’t need much water to thrive, he says, and a  jade plant might be the best plant for “brown thumbs” because it’s beautiful and tough enough to thrive on neglect.3. Grow vegetable scrapsKids might like this one: Many leafy vegetables such as romaine lettuce and bok choy will regrow from the parts you don't eat. Just cut off 1-2 inches at the base, put it aside (cut side up) in a bowl or shallow saucer filled with about a ½ inch of water. Place it in a sunny spot and watch the roots start to grow, then transplant it into soil in a pot.4. Grow a vegetable gardenIf you're feeling a yen for tomatoes and you've got a sunny patio or balcony, self-watering growing containers, such as City Jungle from Bio Green, make it easy to grow two full-sized tomato plants or whatever vegetables and herbs you choose. The built-in water reservoir automatically keeps plants watered.5. Grow flowering plantsMany flowering plants are easy to grow, says Schultz. African violets thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. Abutilon "Little Sunshine" plants from Logees.com is a good choice for a sunny windowsill and they're pretty, he says: Sunshine-yellow flowers with a blush of morning-orange on the inner petals bloom year-round.6. Add new houseplantsGreening up one's home is increasingly popular among new and experienced gardeners, says Warhurst, but you need to analyze the environmental conditions of your abode. Do you have enough sunlight?"We can easily manage (air, water and nutrients) but sun often becomes the limiting factor," Warhurst says. "Accurately defining the lighting conditions in your home and the sun requirements of the plants you choose can be the key to success."Grow lights, which offer the full spectrum of light plants need, can help if your home has low-light conditions. LED lights are very efficient, long-lasting and do not use hazardous glass or chemicals, Warhurst says. "Place the grow lights close to the plants and leave them on for 12 to 16 hours per day."Research what kind of light your houseplants need: For instance, he says, cacti, succulents and Ficus require three to four hours of direct sun each day, "bright enough to cast a shadow and to read a newspaper," Warhurst says. Low, indirect light is best for plants such as pothos and Chinese evergreens."These areas may be further away from a window or where sunl... https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/2020/03/31/coronavirus-quarantine-tips-garden-indoors-while-stuck-inside/2928016001/

Finding a florist — and the right flowers — for your North Fork wedding - Northforker

Living Coral, so I expect coral to be incorporated into florals this year,” said Aquebogue-based florist Kim Jackson Reeves, who managed florist Ariella Chezar’s shop in New York City before starting her own business in 2014 (Kim Jackson Reeves Design, 516-993-4316). “Yellow is having a moment, which is a color I happen to have loved since getting into floral design.” Kim Jackson Reeves expects yellow to continue to be a major color moving forward. (Credit: Kim Jackson Reeves)In fact, yellow sunflowers do pop their sunny heads into more casual local weddings, as they are such a symbol of the rustic North Fork. That might be true, but not for everyone. “I’m always trying to put color into weddings but I’m not always successful,” laughs Clarke. “People still want white, green and blush, but they love the gray-green of eucalyptus and thistle/eucalyptus mixes.”Other trends include more elaborate floral installations, such as green vines dripping from the ceiling, a floral meadow running down the ceremony aisle, floral chandeliers or a floral entryway for the reception. “These are usually higher-ticket items, but the impression they make on you and your guests is worth it,” said Reeves. To stay within budget, she suggests choosing one or two impact items and opting for more minimal table centerpieces.Most brides are really looking for unique, eclectic assortments that are more natural and garden-style, which is a good fit for us ,as a lot of our style is rooted in the garden.Peter ClarkeJenny Marchese of Wildflower Floral Events (631-655 3117) has been doing weddings on both forks for more than 25 years and is thrilled at the wedding boom of the past decade. She describes the North Fork bride as having an “elegance that’s casual and rustic yet glamorous,” but notes it’s stepping up from shabby chic. “People don’t necessarily want pews made out of hay anymore,” she said. “Now they’re lining the farm fields with lucite chairs. It’s high-end style in a rustic setting.” Marchese often stages a photographic backdrop for guests (think “Instagrammable moment”) such as a flower cart, vintage car filled with flowers,or strategically placed bike basket overflowing with f... https://northforker.com/2020/03/finding-a-florist-and-the-right-flowers-for-your-north-fork-wedding/
