Fitchburg’s Cauley’s Florist and Garden Center is partnering with Operation Service to provide free trees to vets - Sentinel & Enterprise

Cauley’s does have ties to the military. Bob Cauley opened the first greenhouse in 1966 on Lancaster Street in Leominster after he retired from the Army. He was stationed at Fort Devens. His son Bill Cauley purchased the business from his parents and built the current location in the early 1990s. Landry, Bill’s nephew and Bob’s grandson, has worked there since 2001. Francine Bergeron is the florist manager.Landry said they enjoy interacting with community members and various groups and organizations at the garden center.“Whether it’s people shopping  for their home gardens, churches decorating for the holidays, schools doing fundraisers or the Friends of the Leominster Library doing their annual poinsettia sale, we are here to help in whatever ways we can,” Landry said. “That said, an annual event like Trees for Soldiers simply doesn’t happen without somebody like Joe and the folks at Operation Service doing the hard work and having a big idea. When somebody like Joe tells you that this program can become even bigger and better, and that he thinks you can help, it’s an absolute no-brainer – you want to get involved.”Landry said Cauley’s has remained busy throughout the pandemic, beginning in the spring with people “stuck at home” looking to start their first vegetable garden, decorate their new home office with plants, clean up their landscaping, “or simply just adding some colorful flowers to have a nicer staycation.”“Those trends have continued through the year and now that the holidays are here we are doing everything we can to provide our customers the seasonal products they come to us for, and help them have as happy and normal a holiday season as they can,” Landry said.Christmas trees arrived at both Cauley’s and The Gardner’s spot last week. Veterans and military members have stopped by the locations to pick out a tree to take home, and Landry said they are excited to be a part of it.“Hopefully becoming a part of the Trees For Soldiers program will not only let us help those who have served or are currently serving feel some extra holiday cheer this year, but let them know how much this community appreciates their sacrifice and their service,” Landry said.For more information call 978-342-2300, visit cauleysfloristandgardencenter.com, and follow Cauley’s Florist and Garden Center on Facebook.

Watch These Six Flower Bloom Events From Your Couch - Smithsonian.com

In addition to tulips, Keukenhof also features daffodils, hyacinths and other flowers. Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve, Lancaster, California Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve (Courtesy of California State Parks, 2019) Cruising through Lancaster, a city located about 80 miles north of Los Angeles, poppy fields are a common sight come spring. But one location is particularly fruitful when it comes to the orangish-red blooms: Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve. Encompassing more than 1,700 acres, poppy blooms carpet the property’s undulating hills, and the reserve has captured its peak via live camera. Although the reserve is home to numerous hiking trails, the California Department of Parks and Recreation is asking that the public not visit, but rather enjoy the flower show from home.

The Emmaus High School grad went to barber school at night for 15 months, then worked at a downtown Lancaster barber shop before breaking out on his own, he said.“I chose barbering because it’s honest work and it’s rewarding work,” Storck said. “The people you meet along the way stick with you ... they become family and friends.”Storck wants clients to feel welcome and comfortable, relaxing in a chair as they receive a clean tailored haircut. Top-notch customer service is key, he said.Storck said he chose Easton for the venture because he’s seen its rebirth from a ghost town to a thriving restaurant and retail mecca. He wants in on the action, he said.“My wife and I feel very at home here in Easton and I’m very excited to build my little shop and brand downtown,” he said.Reed 403 Coworking Lounge will open March 1 following a private soft opening, according to owner Mark Calafatello. The renovated space includes a full kitchen seating 40 people, private conference rooms, couches and chairs and a fireplace.

Roses — in full bloom - Financial Times

Backstage at Prada AW19Alexander McQueen’s creative director Sarah Burton took her design team back to her native northern England, where in the 1400s, the houses of York and Lancaster battled for the throne of England. (It was later known as the Wars of the Roses because of the rose badges used by the two sides — red for Lancastrians, white for Yorkists.)Roses appear lavishly throughout the collection; as prints on double duchess satin dresses, elsewhere embroidered on a bustier in blue silk jacquard. A black corset dress is edged with laser-cut roses; frilled high-necked knit dresses recall those worn in the Rose Queen pageants of the north. A “lust red” corset dress with sweetheart neckline has a twisted leather rose draped on the front that creates an asymmetric volume, directly referencing the emblematic Red Rose of Lancaster. The red is worn, in the brand’s current advertising campaign, by Kate Moss — surely the definitive modern... https://www.ft.com/content/9a85adf0-a23b-11e9-a282-2df48f366f7d

Valentine's Day roses in short supply due to COVID-19: floral industry – Surrey Now-Leader - Surrey Now-Leader

Ontario residents looking to buy Valentine’s Day flowers for their sweethearts may have to branch out from the classic rose bouquet, or consider celebrating on another day, as the COVID-19 pandemic affects floral supply chains, some in the industry say.The health crisis caused many local and international farms to cut flower production or shut down altogether last year, and while operations have largely resumed, supply is still lagging, according to some in the industry.Other factors, such as transportation, are also contributing to the shortage, they say, with a drop in commercial flights and truck shipments that are typically used to haul flowers from South America to Canada via Miami.Demand for flowers has been high throughout the pandemic, however, likely spurred by people’s desire to show affection despite social distancing and to brighten up homes during lockdowns, said Glenn Hofland, owner of the flower wholesaler Hofland, which supplies florists across the country.It’s particul... https://www.surreynowleader.com/trending-now/valentines-day-roses-in-short-supply-due-to-covid-19-floral-industry/
