Other vendors will be offering pottery, awnings, natural food items, lotions, candles and more. “That’s part of the fun of the show, to have that combination of local and out-of-area vendors,” Smith said.New this year are two special gardening presentations by Barry Glick, founder of Sunshine Farm and Gardens.

Along the west end of Cornwall Street is the children’s area, where families can enjoy live animals, theatre and magic performances, as well as a craft area. Smith said that the painting area, where children can help paint large wooden animal and flower designs, has been popular in past years.“It’s more than just the shopping. It’s a lot of great food, there’s great entertainment,” Smith said. “Hopefully people are excited to come again this year.”The festival is hosted by the town’s Department of Parks and Recreation and has several sponsors, including presenting sponsor Loudoun Medical Group.

Meet the state's secret 'ferry flower fairy' - KOMO News

BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, Wash. -- Flowers may not grow on Washington State ferries, but apparently kindness does.Janelle Eller, a worker on the Bainbridge Island Ferry, buys fresh floral arrangements with her own money roughly once a week and then spends time setting them up in the women's restroom before her shift."It's a great feeling when you're noticed by the passengers. I've had written notes. I've had things left on the mirrors for me," Eller said. "I even had a lady bring me in a bouquet of flowers just for me to take home."Eller's official job title is 'ordinary seaman,' which means she does a little bit of everything on board the boat. Florist, however, was not in the employee description when she took the job six years ago."I was inspired by another worker that's been here over 30 years. She used to bring them from her garden and put them up," Eller said. "She's an inspiration."Passengers will notice the flowers and leave compliments on the ferry system's comment cards, said Ian St... http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Meet-the-states-secret-ferry-flower-fairy-331126311.html

During the pandemic when everyone was at home, I saw people more often than I did previously. Sometimes they would stay behind their door, and I would talk to them. Sometimes they would come out and maintain a distance. People are lonely and craving human interaction.Ms. Clum sells her flowers through a subscription service and to two stores.Credit...Aundre Larrow for The New York TimesBEAT THE HEAT On Sundays I’m usually able to get to two houses before the heat of the day comes.

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/

A Floral Designer Who Forages in the Hills of Malibu - The New York Times

Indeed, Moreno-Bunge is part of a new wave of designers — among them the Berlin-based studio Mary Lennox and the New York-based Joshua Werber — for whom the term florist seems too narrow a definition; they’re artists who not only confirm the obvious appeal of blooms but also reveal the magnificence of their landscapes’ less flamboyant elements: leaves, vegetables, seedpods, weeds and humble grasses.The florist creates a wild, sculptural arrangement of plants including golden rain tree, oats, artichoke flowers and green persimmons.CreditCredit...Scott J. RossThis approach has made Isa Isa — Moreno-Bunge’s five-year-old floral design business, which creates effervescent, naturalistic arrangements and installations — the studio of choice for many of L.A.’s most interesting brands. Visitors to the Chinatown store of the clothing label Eckhaus Latta in 2018 might have noticed a single, ethereal white Iceland poppy emerging from a dense green cluster of beadlike dates, slatted areca palm leaves and the drooping, fist-size fruit of the silk floss tree, arranged by Moreno-Bunge in a pitcher on a table of accessories. More recently, she displayed three green tromboncino squash, coiled like snakes, alongside bouquets of black tomatoes, olive branches and unripened persimmons and lemons, at the women’s clothing boutique Shaina Mote in Highland Park. And Isa Isa’s florals add depth to every console and corner o... https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/10/t-magazine/sophia-moreno-bunge-floral-design.html
