A trend Lisa has noticed through the years is the fact that people are buying fewer arrangements specific to a home but rather are giving flower designs to friends as gifts during the holidays. Lisa attributes this change to more people spending Thanksgiving with friends, not just family.“So many people don’t live close to families anymore,” She said... https://www.redmond-reporter.com/business/redmond-florist-is-deeply-rooted-in-the-community/

Life in coronavirus: A flower farmer innovates; a farmers market opens with caution - Citizen Times

More: Coronavirus: Buncombe releases some jail inmates to reduce risk of virus transmissionBased on recommendations from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, the Asheville City Market, a primary outlet for Copus, closed March 14.An interim market will open March 21 in the A-B Tech parking lot with a new flow to mitigate virus transmission points and accommodate social distancing. Copus will sell flowers there. There will be no mingling. Shoppers must stay 6 feet apart. They must wait in their cars until they are told to enter the market.In the field, tulips crowd together. Shoulder to shoulder, they push up through the winter mud, turning the field into a tapestry of green spikes, which make Copus think of Pointillism.More: Coronavirus: Buncombe releases some jail inmates to reduce risk of virus transmissionEach tulip bulb costs 40 cents, which means she has thousands of dollars tied up in the field.When the blooms begin to blush, she pries the flowers out of the soil with a pitchfork so the bulb stays intact. They give the bloom a source of food and delight customers anxious to see the riot of colors the spring market brings.Flowers remind us spring is here, and nothing will stop it — not even a pandemic."You can't hide what is impressive about the tulip harvest," Copus said.'We didn't plan on a global pandemic'Copus had huge plans for 2020.She and her husband, the well-known potter Josh Copus, had sights set on triple-digit growth this year. "We got close last year, which is crazy for a farm, and we had every reason to believe it was a good idea to go big," Emily Copus said. More: See how Earth Fare's closure impacts loca... https://www.citizen-times.com/story/news/local/2020/03/20/coronavirus-while-farmers-fight-stay-afloat-asap-opens-markets/2883723001/

As virus spreads, some local funerals shift online - Wakeweekly

Gordon said. “We are practicing social distancing and are keeping everything thoroughly sanitized.”As cases of COVID-19 continue to grow in North Carolina, florists may see fewer of the types of events they service — not just funerals, but also weddings, high school proms and graduations.Ann Calus, owner of Annie’s Flowers in Oxford, is hopeful that the outbreak will have a minor impact on her sales.“Business was slow at the first part of the week, but we started a curbside service and things have picked up quite a bit,” said Calus this week. “I guess people decided that flowers would help brighten up the day.”Kuhn, the funeral director, said while industries may feel the effects of coronavirus, he hopes that won’t include health effects.“Our greatest hope in all of this is just that as many people stay as safe as possible,” Kuhn said. “This includes our community, the families we serve, my staff, and the families that we have at home waiting for us to return to them each night both healthy and safe.“It’s more than a little bit scary that I could be going out and helping others while at the same time bringing this virus home to my wife and small children. So with this in mind, I am happy to adapt to all the changes and safety precautions that are being instituted.” ... http://wakeweekly.com/stories/as-virus-spreads-some-local-funerals-shift-online,204494
