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/

The Best Florists in New York - Curbed

Photo-Illustration: by Curbed; Photos Getty Images Since 1985, our annual “Best of New York” issue has named standout services, unique shops, and special spots in dozens of categories. Now that Curbed is part of New York’s family, we have reimagined “Best of New York” as an ever-expanding resource that could rival Yelp in usefulness but feels more like a secret Google doc that gets passed among friends. To find the places recommended on these lists, we polled hundreds of stylish and savvy New Yorkers and begged them to tell us their go-tos. The result: our own Yellow Pages, containing only excellent places.

Florist brightens her city with gorgeous floral installations - Aleteia EN

With major events being canceled, a lot of work and profit has dried up. However, one Pittsburgh florist, Anne Dickson, has decided to put her skills and time to good use.Inspired by fellow florist, New Yorker Louis Miller, who’s been creating some stunning “flower flashes” to brighten up New York City, Dickson decided she wanted to spread some floral joy in her own community, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.She started by sharing her gratitude with health workers for all their hard work. So the owner of Fox and the Fleur florists went along to Shadyside’s Family House, where patients and their families can stay together. She brought some bright blooms to decorate the facade of the house with an impressive installation. She also tagged her work “F&F [Heart] Pittsburgh #flower power” in chalk on the sidewalk in front of the home, and added it to her Instagram account to spread a little more joy.From there Dickson created more impressive pop-up displays: from brightening up a light pole to creating an impressive display in a recycling can. While the impressive creations take a lot of hard work, the florist is thankful to  one of her suppliers, B W Wholesales, for passing on flowers to her that would otherwise been thrown out.While the blooms might not last long, and Dickson makes sure they’re taken down once... https://aleteia.org/2021/03/24/florist-brightens-her-city-with-gorgeous-floral-installations/

Nanan creates flower arrangements to last a lifetime - Korea JoongAng Daily

The enthusiastic response was even beyond my expectation.   Nanan's window painting on display in Lower East Side, New York in 2007.   The major popularity of “Long Long Time Flower” could lead to plagiarism. Are you concerned about that?   I’ve already seen copycats! My Instagram followers keep me informed of such cases. As I learned from the painful experience with my window paintings before, I have already obtained a patent for my “Long Long Time Flower” including its concept and its title. I politely warned the copycats and then they withdrew their works.   After my window paintings earned popularity, some people began to draw on windows in a very similar style and with a simi... https://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/2021/03/31/culture/artsDesign/Nanan-Nanan-Kang-Long-Long-Time-Flower/20210331162800400.html

Have You Spotted the Giant Floral Displays Popping Up Around the City? - Pittsburgh Magazine

Tommy Hilfiger and Dolce & Gabbana, Dickson says she came up with the idea for the installations after seeing florist Lewis Miller Design’s “Flower Flash” project in New York City. In February, she installed her first display, wrapping garlands of flowers around the columns of Shadyside’s Family House — which provides a “home away from home” for patients and their families seeking medical treatment in Pittsburgh. “To all of the healthcare workers and all of the patients and their families, this one’s for you!” Dickson wrote on Instagram of the project. Later that month, she spruced up her hometown area, coating a light pole and corner on Brilliant Avenue in Aspinwall with flowers. In early March, she struck again, creating an enormous bouquet atop a recycling bin on Penn Avenue and 21st Street in the Strip District. Beside the display, she used sidewalk chalk to quote French artist Henri Matisse’s famous line, “There are always flowers for those who want to see them.” Dickson told the Post-Gazette the recycling can project was particularly inspired because the already-cut flowers — from supplier BW Wholesale Florist in the Strip District — would have been thrown away had she not repurposed them. If you missed any of the installations, your chances of catching one have not wilted. The pop-up displays will continue to sprout up across the city, possibly through April, Dickson says — and suggestions as to where are welcome.
