Roses are red, violets are blue, chances are, the Flower Lady knows you - Kamloops This Week

Restrictions have wiped out not only Chernecki’s work, but also that of bouncers, bartenders, coat checkers, DJs, bands and more. Chernecki feels for owners who had been trying to adapt when the most recent ban on nightclubs was ordered. “Those guys have invested so much,” she said. “Time, money, blood, sweat and tears into everything.” KTW caught up with Chernecki on her home turf, Victoria Street, during daylight hours to discuss her unique career, which came to a halt amid a global pandemic. Anyone who has been looking for love on a Friday or Saturday night in Kamloops has likely seen Chernecki, as much of a staple to Kamloops’ nightlife as the very bars she frequents. People recognize her on the street. University students play games in which they need to purchase a flower from her. “I’ve been invited to about 66 weddings,” Chernecki said. “I had one fellow years ago and their twins, I think, are 12 now. Eleven or 12. He would see me, he would buy the whole bundle. They split up the one time. He just wouldn’t give up. He kept buying flowers and buying flowers. Whenever they’ve come out afterwards, he’s always bought her roses since.” Chernecki got her start selling roses just before Rick Hansen came to Kamloops during his Man in Motion tour in 1987. Sahali Flowers and K97 radio station were putting on a fundraiser called Roses for Rick and Chernecki’s sister asked if she would sell. Chernecki agreed, recruiting a couple of others to sell roses in downtown bars. The philanthropic enterprise blossomed into a business. “A couple of years later, when Rick Hansen was doing motivational speaking, I ran into him and I actually took him a yellow rose and went over and thanked him because it morphed into my job,” she said, noting she was grateful because jobs were not easy to find for a single parent who had just moved to Kamloops in the 1980s. For more than three decades, Chernecki has made a living selling roses by night and cleaning houses by day, mastering the side hustle before today’s gig economy. Over the years, the music has changed. The bars have changed. The people have changed. But, until the pandemic arrived, her business remained. Selling about 120 flowers a night at $3 a stem — a price that never rose with inflation — Chernecki said she made about $1,000 per month selling roses. Red roses, the flower of love, is her bestseller, while yellow was not part of her rotation because they “look funny” in club lighting, she said. On flower-selling nights, Chernecki leav... https://www.kamloopsthisweek.com/community/roses-are-red-violets-are-blue-chances-are-the-flower-lady-knows-you-1.24216291

Pescadero flower farms threatened by church closures - Catholic San Francisco

Half Moon Bay and from Pescadero to the flower market in San Francisco, where most of the workers are Hispanic as Susano Ledezma.Since Ledezma came from Guadalajara, México, 25 years ago he has worked in the San Francisco Flower Market.The last 16 years he worked in one of the largest florists there. When the shelter-in-place started, Ledezma and his co-workers lost their jobs.The San Francisco Flower Market has opened and some of Ledezma’s co-workers have been rehired, but he hasn’t yet.Since the middle of March when he lost his job, he and his wife Catalina Rocha have not had health insurance and both are suffering stress and depression.Ledezma is concerned because unemployment benefits were reduced to 50 percent in September and he does not know how he will pay the rent of $1,800 for his apartment in South San Francisco.“I can still work,” he said.When Ledezma worked in the San Francisco Flower Market, he had clients from many churches. “They were good customers. They bought many flowers in May for first communions and in June for weddings and quinceañeras. There was a lot of business“, he said.Rita Mancera, deputy executive director of the nonprofit organization Puente that helps the communities of Pescadero, La Honda, Loma Mar and San Gregorio, said that the farms most affected are those that produce flowers only.The other farms that grow vegetables and flowers kept producing during the shelter-in-place. She thinks the biggest hit on all agricultural activity in the cost was the fires of August.Puente has allocated resources to temporarily cover the wages of farm workers who have not been able to work due to the fires and who do not have unemployment insurance, Mancera said. ... https://catholic-sf.org/news/pescadero-flower-farms-threatened-by-church-closures

Okanagan florists busy during pandemic, some busier than ever | Kamloops News | iNFOnews - iNFOnews

Gedaschke said. "At this point everything is limited,” she said. “A lot of the import stuff, up until recently, we hadn’t been able to get.” With not as many imported flowers coming into Canada, the local suppliers have had to fill in the gaps. Shops whose orders were typically 20 to 30 per cent local flowers have had to adjust to ordering 70 to 100 per cent local, explained Gedaschke. As a result, local growers are having trouble keeping up with demand. READ MORE: iN VIDEO: Ryan Reynolds offers advice to graduating class of his old B.C. high school “When they did their growing and their planting, nobody had foreseen any of this coming,” said Gedaschke. While it doesn’t seem like flower supplies will be running out anytime soon, it’s hard for florists to get specific varieties. Gedaschke said that the earlier customers order their flowers, the better chance they will have of getting the varieties they request. “We can’t guarantee you anything in particular, but we can certainly guarantee you it’ll be lovely,” she said. It's an entirely different picture around the country, particularly in eastern Canada where flower farmers are throwing away their stock and facing bankruptcy. Galena Clancy at Burnett’s Florist is more than happy to be supporting locals during this time. "This year, especially for Mother’s Day, we’ve been trying to get as much B.C. products as we can to help support our local farmers,” she said.

Looters Ransack Streeterville Florist Shop That Opened Just A Few Months Ago - CBS Chicago

It was difficult to see the shop like this,” Nima Manhas said.The refrigerators were shattered, the computers were broken, and the new small business at 209 E. Ohio St. was totally ransacked.“All of us are trying to get back to normal, and it’s just so difficult,” Nima Manhas said.They did deal with some theft.“Just garbage and trash everywhere,” said Gur Manhas.But for the most part, City Scents Flowers was destroyed for the sake of destruction – almost eerily so.You can see the flowers behind the broken refrigerators still arranged in place.“It seemed like the purpose was just to damage,” Gur Manhas said.Their purpose since taking over in April is supporting their community, even when it meant closing down during the protests in May after the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police.“We handed out daisies and white roses to protestors to show support for the protesters,” Nima Manhas said.“We do not believe that the violence that occurred this morning had anything to do with any kind of social justice theme,” Gur Manhas said.Now, as they process and finish picking up the pieces, things that can be replaced.“We don’t want people to move away from the city,” Gur Manhas said.Their focus is on a feeling throughout the city right now that’s not as easily replaceable.“I think it’s important for everyone to feel safe in our community,” Nima Manhas said.City Scents is hoping to open back up soon in Streeterville. And on Monday night, like other businesses in this area, big and small, all hit in the early morning, they’re asking for one thing – protection from the city. https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2020/08/10/looters-ransack-streeterville-florist-shop-that-opened-just-a-few-months-ago/

Ham Lake couple trust God as they grow family flower farm business - The Catholic Spirit

Jonah grew up on a farm. High school sweethearts, the 30-year-olds met at the parish they still attend, St. Paul in Ham Lake. They went to college together at Franciscan University of Steubenville in Ohio and married in 2012.Six years ago, they rented a farmhouse near Ham Lake, on 20 acres with a field bordered by pines. After it sat fallow for a few seasons, they approached their landlord and arranged to begin farming it. This spring, they planted a plot with 50 different types of flowers. Kristen cuts, arranges and sells bouquets.Kristen and Jonah are convinced that God has led them to begin this venture, but they wear no rose-colored glasses about the challenge they’ve taken on. When asked July 30 what he sees when he looks over the field, Jonah chuckled and said, “a lot of labor.” In the spring, he and Kristen ordered mounds of compost to prepare the field’s otherwise “sandbox” soil, spreading it over layers of salvaged cardboard to help retain moisture and quality. He built a fence to keep out deer, like the five he observed grazing across the road that evening, as well as an irrigation system.Jonah holds a master’s degree in counseling, but decided the career wasn’t for him. He works as a house inspector, but is an entrepreneur at heart. The flower farm by far is the biggest risk he and Kristen have taken, he said. They hope that eventually it could become their full-time business.When they began researching farming, they planned to grow organic food. They were inspired by the writings of Joel Salatin, a Christian farmer in Virginia who has become the godfather of a movement favoring small-scale, sustainable, family-based farming. The Carlstroms were thinking produce and chickens when, in the winter of 2019, Kristen came across a book titled “The Cut Flower Garden” by Erin Benzakein, a florist farmer in Washington.“Basically, I just fell in love with it,” Kristen said. “It was kind of out of the blue for me.”She had always kept a small flower garden with sunflowers and zinnias, but nothing large-scale. But once she began to think about flowers, she became convinced that was the direction she wanted to move.“I knew we were going to take on something really big,” she said. “It was really important for me to be really passionate about it. And so, this was something that just really took a hold of me. And I had so much energy with thinking of doing really hard stuff to make it happen.”She and Jonah took Benzakein’s online course on flower farming, and dove into researching what would grow well in Minnesota’s climate. “Before we knew it, we’re like, we’re really doing it,” she said.Jonah gives Kristen all the credit for the flower focus. “I never thought I would be a flower farmer — I don’t think many men do think of that,” Jonah said, sitting near the field. He agreed to the online course, “and I was just sort of open with the Lord; ‘Wherever you lead us.’”“Ever since leaving school, I wanted to do something in nature. I love working outside. I’ve been praying along the way” for God’s guidance, he said. “Basically, I want to come home and I want to work from home.”The Carlstroms don’t know any other young farmers, but they’re not alone among Catholic millennials. Jim Ennis, executive director of St. Paul-based Catholic Rural Life, said there are like-minded young Catholics across... https://thecatholicspirit.com/news/local-news/ham-lake-couple-trust-god-as-they-grow-family-flower-farm-business/

Business owners tell state lawmakers they are ready to reopen - Dayton Daily News

A local florist was one of several business owners from across Ohio who told state lawmakers Monday that the government’s response to the coronavirus pandemic has brutalized their businesses and they are eager to reopen with safety precautions in place. “All my employees are furloughed and filed for unemployment and have yet to get unemployment,” Tom Hamilton, owner of Beavercreek Florist, told the Ohio House of Representatives’ 2020 Economic Recovery Task Force. “My business is struggling since there is no income,” Hamilton said.
