Ask Jerry: Order flowers, gifts from a local purveyor - Seacoastonline.com
Sunday, February 09, 2020The quality was not great. I dont want that to happen again.Can you advise me in time for Valentines Day?Marc E., Grand Rapids, Mich.Yes. Order your flowers from a local florist. By local, I mean a florist in the town or city where the flowers are being delivered.If you know someone in that area, ask for a florist recommendation. Otherwise, search the Internet for local florist names and read the reviews. Since reviews are not always authentic, you can also check online for public libraries in your flower recipients neighborhood. Then, call the librarian for florists listed in that area. And ask the librarian off the record whether he or she has any personal florist suggestions. It is off the record because librarians normally give information they can document with a published source. It is not within their routine purview to give personal opinions. That need not stop you from asking off the record.Once you identify a promising local florist, call and speak with the owner, the manager, or a conscientious-sounding employee. Request the name of that individual and address the person by name. Be specific about what you want to purchase, the importance of freshness, how the card should read, the delivery time, and any other relevant particulars. Make it clear you are a potentially future customer.When ordering flowers or anything perishable (i.e., candy, fruit, etc.), it is best to communicate with that personal touch. A gift recipient is often reluctant to inform you when your gift arrived in less-than-perfect condition. Accordingly, you want to feel confident. You want it handled properly.

After 73 years, this could be Stagemeyer Flower Shop's last Valentine's Day rush - York Daily Record
Sunday, February 09, 2020Guess that's why they call it dragon teeth," she said. Hinson has been a florist for nearly 50 years — a fitting occupation considering her maiden name was Rose. She began her career in high school at Doyle's Flower Shop in Bedford. It was around the same time she met her husband, Dan. "We were high school sweethearts, and it went from there," she said. In 1976, the pair left their hometown and made haste toward York. "My brother was living in York at the time, and he convinced me there were a few more opportunities for work out here," Dan said. Karen got a florist job at Stagemyer Flower Shop in December of that year. Dan picked up work at Miller's Auto Supply in West York. In June of 1977, they purchased the business from Charlotte and Claire Stough. Charlotte's father opened the flower shop in the first floor of their row home in 1947. "I had no idea what I was getting into," Dan said. At any given moment, Stagemyers has about 75 varieties of flora. Simple bouquets such as a dozen cuenca roses may take Karen about five minutes to design. Larger, more intricate arrangements could take upwards of 25 minutes. "It's a physical job, and it is a lost art, but it is an art," Karen said. Come Valentine's Day, the store wi... https://www.ydr.com/story/news/local/2020/02/06/stagemyers-flower-shop-york-could-final-valentines-rush/4655589002/
