Flowers and Vessels @ Wildroot Floral - Buffalo Rising

My mother could not believe the selection of beautiful vessels offered up by Wildroot. During the visit, she talked about her ongoing search in Buffalo for the perfect pairings. Not only did she discover at least half a dozen pots that she loved, she also pointed out that they were very affordable, which is unusual in a boutique floral shop. As if Daddy’s Plants wasn’t great enough, the addition of Wildroot creates a plant and floral emporium that is a real pleasure to browse and shop. While Daddy’s Plants specializes in a variety of potted plants, Grazen has mastered the floral element. She even has access to a giant refrigerator that once belonged to Bootleg Bucha. That means that she can create the floral arrangements for customers, and keep them chilled until they are picked up. Grazen told us that all of the arrangements inside the fridge were all custom orders. She also said that if she ever gets any free time, she will try to have some more floral arrangements available for customers who stop in on a whim. But for now, she’s simply answering to customers’ a l carte demands, which is taking up most of her time.Kayla Grazen on rightBefore leaving, we collectively purchased four pots, three vases, and four plants (the plants were from Daddy’s Plants). When we got back on our way, my mom couldn’t stop raving about Wildroot – after living in the city of Buffalo most of her life, she couldn’t believe that she had come across a flora shopping experience of this nature… a one stop plant, flower, and vessel shop that doesn’t break the bank. Plus, there are so many other great reasons to stop by 1250 Niagara Street, including the newly opened Company B by Blackman Cider Co. (just across the hallway).W... https://www.buffalorising.com/2019/12/flowers-and-vessels-wildroot-floral/

U-pick lavender farm open in Cambria - WKBW-TV

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Rows of lavender plants can be seen from Ridge Road in Cambria. Kin Loch Farmstead is open for business. The U-pick lavender farm opened last weekend. There are seven different types of lavender people can pick for $5 dollars for a small bundle. "We grow English varieties, we grow French varieties," Alex Plante, the owner of Kin Loch Farmstead said. Two-years-ago Plante had the dream of opening up her own lavender farm as she would make homemade soaps and candles using lavender. Plante says she chose Cambria for her 30 acre farm because of the beautiful land and the soil is perfect for growing lavender. "It was becoming very popular in cocktails and lattes, it just kept springing up and I just love it as a flower and a plant and all the different ways you can use it and eat it," Plante says. Plante worked in Advertising in New York City and says she wanted to get away from the screens in the office and get out ... https://www.wkbw.com/lifestyle/taste-and-see/u-pick-lavender-farm-open-in-cambria

Winston Flowers is closing three retail florist shops - The Boston Globe

Governor Baker allowed florists to reopen for business for online sales for Mother’s Day and Winston Flowers reached peak capacity for Mother’s Day orders in Boston, Greenwich, Conn. and New York City.AdvertisementBut for florist businesses that rely so heavily on foot traffic and in-store sales, it seems even a surge in online orders was not enough to ensure they could stay in their physical locations.“Over the past three months, the floral industry, like many other industries, has been impacted tremendously,” owners Ted and David Winston wrote in an email to customers. They said that while the three stores are closing, several of their other sites are still open for business, including their Boston Design Studio and Winston Flowers & Garden center in Chestnut Hill.“While we are downsizing our portfolio of retail stores throughout Massachusetts, this is definitely not goodbye,” the owners wrote. “While it saddens us that we will not be a daily presence in your community, we hope to remain a constant presence in your lives.”Janelle Nanos can be reached at janelle.nanos@globe.com.

A floral designer is beautifying the streets of New York with elaborate displays for health care workers - CNN

Lewis Miller Design, has long transformed the city's most grittiest spots into giant flower displays. He calls them "flower flashes." Miller said he just wanted to express his creativity and make New Yorkers smile. In recent weeks, however, he knew that these flower flashes could mean something more -- a tribute to those on the front lines."With the city being so desolate and people being stuck inside, and it being a cold, dismal spring, we needed hope," the 45-year-old designer told CNN. "Doing it for the health care workers was a no-brainer because they're the ones that are out there doing the deed while the rest of us are sequestered inside." For his latest flash, Miller and his team set out to the New York-Presbyterian Hospital on Monday and wrapped flowers in various shades of pink around a lamp post that stood outside the hospital. People admired it as they walked by, but even more appreciated it on Miller's Instagram. "New Jersey hospital worker here and I appreciate your commitment to making the city a more beautiful place," one person commented on Miller's post, which has over 17,000 likes. Like the rest of their flower flashes, Miller and his team didn't ask for permission so they were told by hospital security to take it down just 30 minutes after finishing their masterpiece. But the team quickly pivoted their plan to convert the flowers into bud vases and loose flowers to give out to the nurses, doctors and other health care workers passi... https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/24/us/new-york-flower-flash-displays-lewis-miller-coronavirus-trnd/index.html
