A FRUSTRATED florist has hit out after he was told he wasn't allowed to reopen his shop - even though supermarkets are selling flowers and plants.

Flowers: Make a joyful arrangement - San Francisco Chronicle

San Francisco florist Rebekah Northway of the Petaler (www.thepetalersf.com) creates arrangements that are joyfully of the garden, if that garden were vibrant and lively like an Eden should be. Getting her start in 2006 with big restaurant accounts like Range, Nopa, Zuni Cafe and Bar Tartine, the New Mexico native took cues from her clients’ similar culinary ethos. “They valued really fresh, local produce, and that really influenced my arrangements, which weren’t necessarily about design but rather about showcasing the beautiful material in a natural way,” Northway says. She likens her work to a wild garden or “rebellious ikebana,” a seemingly untamed modern-day spin on the ancient and ceremonial Japanese art of flower arranging. Professional influences notwithstanding, the root, so to speak, of her calling can be traced back to her family’s robust garden of flowers and ed... https://www.sfchronicle.com/culture/article/Flowers-Make-a-joyful-arrangement-15270753.php

Jake NewbyPensacola News JournalPublished 7:00 AM EDT May 5, 2020Mother's Day tends to be a banner business day for floral shops, but low sales for Pensacola florists during the pandemic have most feeling nervous ahead of the holiday this year. "The last six weeks for us, we lost probably 80% of our business overnight," said Mike Paris, co-owner of KellyCo Flowers & Gifts on Tippin Avenue. "We went from 15 to 20 deliveries a day down to three." A Flower Shop owner Keri Hankins painted a similarly grim picture when reflecting on her shop's business since the coronavirus forced closures throughout the community in March."We had an immediate drop in sales in March. March we were down 30-something percent, April probably 35 percent," said Hankins, of her shop on Mobile Highway. "We do two of the three gift shops at the hospitals and of course they're closed. The funeral work went down. We've gotten a lot less (business) from some of our big accounts."The local flower shop industry also has not been immune to layoffs and furloughs as they've tried to survive over a tumultuous six-week period.Curbside pickup and... https://www.pnj.com/story/news/2020/05/05/coronavirus-florida-pensacola-florists-unsure-mothers-day-sales/3077238001/
