Rosemary-Duff Florist: a landmark business - times-advocate.com

Often described as Escondido’s premiere full-service flower shop, Rosemary-Duff Florist has been family owned and operated for over 40 years and has a history dating back to the early 1900’s.Georgina Addison Stowe started Duff Gardens Flower shop in 1915. Dear friends of Mrs. Stowe owned an estate with beautiful gardens in England that was known as Duff Gardens. That became the namesake for her new business.Mrs. Stowe grew her own flowers on site—which was located where Lincoln School is now found. Around 1918 the shop was moved to the Eagle Building in downtown Escondido on Grand Avenue. At that time the Eagle building was two stories and housed her shop, a dancing hall, and a grocery store with a few other businesses. That building was later torn down and replaced and now houses Coast Sewing & Vacuum.The women of Rosemary-Duff Florist: Dolly Santrach, Rosemary Gornick, Mary Ann Santrach, Rozanne Reguly, Luanne Csonka and Joanne Santrach.Duff Gardens moved again around 1921 to 225 South Broadway and was sold to Bob Socin in 1956.Mr. Socin sold Duff Gardens to Pete, Dolly and Rosemary in 1976. Pete & Dolly Santrach and their two children moved from Minnesota to California in 1956.

Utility box art brightens corners with cats, flowers and trees - Milpitas Post

The “Active Lifestyles” box at Lark Avenue and Oka Road does indeed picture a boy with his arms raised in triumph. This particular design was placed because of the intersection’s proximity to the Addison-Penzak Jewish Community Center, which boasts a large fitness center.Another box at Los Gatos Boulevard and Nino Avenue was designed by Blossom Hill Girl Scout Troop 60077. It’s near Van Meter Elementary School, the word “Think” surrounded by a big, blue heart and butterflies.“We all drew our ideas, but we remembered a video one girl made last year that made us think about how our actions impact the Earth,”  Girl Scout Lourdes Venezia said. “That one word says so much about what we need to do.”So, “Think” was adopted as the Girl Scouts’ theme.“We had everyone design their own ideas, and we picked out parts we liked together,” Girl Scout Cameron Onufer said. “So, one girl drew butterflies, one girl drew hearts and I did something with the Earth and people holding hands.”Like the Los Gatos Weekly Times Facebook page for neighborhood news and conversation from Los Gatos and beyond. That last scene didn’t make it onto the box, however.“The other sides show a chain of butterflies moving in circles,” Lourdes said.For their efforts, the Girl Scouts received community service credit toward their Bronze service award.The Girl Scouts also received a $250 stipend to cover the cost of supplies, while the other artists received a $500 stipend.Most of the utility boxes are owned by the town, though some do belong to utility companies, Spillsbury said.While many municipalities have artists paint designs directly onto the boxes, Los Gatos has taken a different approach: The artists’ designs are screened onto vinyl wraps that are then applied to the boxes.“The wraps last forever,” Spillsbury said. “It only takes 90 minutes or so to apply them. And if one is damaged we can peel it off and apply a new one. You don’t even have to replace the whole thing, just the damaged section.”The wraps ... http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/08/31/utility-box-art-brightens-corners-with-cats-flowers-and-trees/

New York City's ‘Flower Flash’ Florist Designs a Display for Ralph Lauren - Architectural Digest

The whole idea of the flower flash is to give back, to give joy,” explains Lewis, who has created eye-popping arrangements for New York’s most revered cultural institutions (including MoMA, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the New York Public Library, and the Whitney) as well as a who’s who of fashion and media brands (Vogue, HBO, and Netflix). “We live in a crazy world and we’re a little bit starved for joy—if we can have a feel-good moment, that’s really important right now.”On October 23, his second installation will bloom outside Macy’s Herald Square. And in an engaging twist, the art is meant to be touched. Shoppers will be encouraged to pluck flowers to take home, part of an effort to spread love (and the #pinkpony hashtag) around the city.“It’s a gift to New York—take a picture or take a blossom,” Lewis says, emphasizing that the temporary nature of his flashes is what makes them so powerful: “You go from this larger-than-life still life to a scattering of leaves on the ground—that’s the life it was meant to live. There’s a strange beauty in the disarray as well.”Another Miller creation outside of a subw... https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/ralph-lauren-flower-flash

Philly florists bring beauty back to voting with public installations across the region - The Philadelphia Inquirer

What they do have are flowers — a lot of them. So to highlight the beauty of voting and nip the negativity in the bud, they’ve teamed up with 15 other florists across the Philadelphia region, New York, and New Jersey for United by Blooms, a nonpartisan outdoor floral installation event from Oct. 14-16 aimed at promoting voting. “By incorporating it with flowers, we bring back a positive connotation to the actual process of voting,” Lam said. #right-rail .newsletter-card,.newsletter-card.hidden-desktop{display:none} Inquirer Morning Newsletter Get the news you need to start your day United by Blooms is the brainchild of farmer-florist Kate Carpenter, co-owner of EMA (East Mount Airy) Blooms. Participating florists and growers, who donated their time and flowers to the project, were asked to provide a positive public experience while raising awareness about voting. Designers were encouraged to put their installations near mailboxes or ballot drop boxes (but not on them), to highlight voting by mail and the necessity of the U.S. Postal Service, which has faced its share of heavy criticism this year, too. “It’s an opportunity to thank the postal workers, who are essential workers, and to get the community engaged about participating in our democracy,” said Carpenter, 35. “Plus, it gives growers and designers the chance to take their talents to the streets of Philadelphia and give people something to enjoy right now.” Carpenter’s design, which she created with her business partner, Courtney Jewell, was inspired, in part, by the rainbows that people placed in their windows for children’s scavenger hunts during the height of quarantine. Several rainbow-colored chalk paths lead to the installation at Green Street and Carpenter Lane in Mount Airy, where flowers crawl up a stop sign and flow out from underneath the mailbox nearby.

The Best Gift for a Flower Lover Is Moda Operandi's Flash Flower Box - TownandCountrymag.com

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/
