East Hampton Village Florist Says He Will Lose Mother's Day Customers Because Of Street Fair - East Hampton - 27east.com

The Village Board said it would accommodate Mr. Horowitz in the future and, in the meantime, try to address the last-minute concern. Board member Arthur Graham recommended that special parking be set up for Wittendale’s on May 11, and East Hampton Village Police Chief Michael Tracey agreed to work with Wittendale’s to come up with a plan. East Hampton Village Mayor Paul F. Rickenbach Jr. said the board would look into changing the date completely next year. “This year, it’s difficult for all of the logistics that had to be put into place,” he explained, as food vendors, not-for-profits and businesses have already been booked for May 11.Mr. Lawler added that the new village-owned parking lot on Osborne Lane, or an adjacent village-owned lot, could be used the day of the fair for Wittendale’s customers and delivery trucks. “We apologize that there’s such a conflict,” board member Rose Brown told Mr. Horowitz. “We didn’t realize the ramifications to you because of such a great event.” Mr. Horowitz and the chamber’s executive director, Steve Ringel, had spoken about moving the street fair to one week earlier, or about relocating the fair into Herrick Park. After other merchants were consulted, however, the chamber decided that moving the fair to later in the season could hurt their business, and it was decided that moving the event to one week earlier would be best.“Your points are well spoken,” Mr. Rickenbach told Mr. Horowitz at the board meeting. “It won’t happen again.” ... http://www.27east.com/news/article.cfm/General-Interest-EH/590807/East-Hampton-Village-Florist-Says-He-Loses-Mothers-Day-Customers-Because-Of-Popular-Street-Fair

Marie Johnson “The flower lady”

The weather is gorgeous and there are plenty of jobs.”In the state capital, Marie excelled. Competing shops vied to employ such an inspired designer. There she met and married Adelbert Arthur Johnson and they had three children, Beth, Mark and Todd. The couple divorced in 1965. In an era when single moms were rare, she moved to Grass Valley, loving the town and thinking it would be a safe place to raise children. Her oldest child was 7.In 1966 Marie began her own floral shop by renting the Gold Rush-era building at Main and Auburn streets for $200 a month. “It was a lot in those days,” she remembered. She drove her Volkswagen bus to the shop each day from a modest house in Cedar Ridge, worked on a picnic table and had only a small refrigerator for her flowers. From a makeshift start, she developed a leading downtown business. She eventually bought the building.Over her life, Marie faced hardship and tragedy. Her daughter Beth, a Nevada Union junior, died in a car accident in 1976. Marie responded by becoming the “official mother”of the class of ’77. She stayed in touch with Beth’s classmates and many of them visited “Momma Johnson” in her shop.Marie provided the flowers for class reunions in Beth’s favorite colors. It was, said a classmate, “like a part of Beth being there with us.” At last Marie and Beth are reunited. In 1984 the brick building housing her shop was gutted by fire. Marie persevered, and during the 11 months of rebuilding and remodeling, she continued her business in the basement of the Old Post Office on S. Auburn St., crafting her floral designs again in makeshift conditions.“The fire led to a transformation,” Marie said. With the help of her son Mark, Marie redesigned the building to add a balcony over the showroom and a state-of-the-art workspace for the designers she employed.The renovated building was designated an historic landmark and recognized in 2013 by the California Heritage Council for exemplary historical preservation. “The interior was replaced with great sensitivity,”... https://yubanet.com/regional/marie-johnson-the-flower-lady/

Why this Kamloops flower shop is handing out 500 free bouquets today - iNFOnews

Alanna Gobkes says this is the first year the company has participated and notes they are one of four stores in Canada handing out free flowers. She says there are two floral shops participating in Ontario and one in Manitoba. The annual event is organized by the Society of American Florists, and she hopes to see more Canadian participation in the coming years. “There are quite a few flower shops down in the States that are taking part in it but nobody up in Canada has really caught on so we thought it would be a great opportunity for us to sort of spread it around and let people know that Petal It Forward can be a great thing for communities,” Gobkes says. Volunteers and employees have already handed out almost 200 bouquets to people at the Royal Inland Hospital and downtown on Victoria Street today. “It’s not a promotion and we’re not accepting any donations,” Gobkes says. “This is a great opportunity to spread some positive emotions and connections between people.” Gobkes estimates the bouquets cost about $5 each to make and are comprised of a carnation, mini carnation or eryngium thistle, filler and a sprig of greenery. “They’re not huge, but they’re bright and cheery. It’s something nice to put on your desk or next to your bedside table. It’s always nice to wake up and smell fresh flowers in your room,” Gobkes says. “It makes you wake up with a smile on your face.” Recipients are given two bouquets and encouraged to give one away to a stranger or loved one, which Gobkes says helps create community connectivity. “The idea behind this is to make someone feel good that you don’t know, its connecting people,” Gobkes says. “People are willing to put themselves out there a little bit and put a smile on a stranger’s face.” You can find the volunteers downtown and at the Royal Inland Hospital. They'll be at the Aberdeen Mall later this afternoon.Credit: FACEBOOK / Kamloops Florist ... https://infotel.ca/newsitem/why-this-kamloops-flower-shop-is-handing-out-500-free-bouquets-today/it66965

If the poinsettias are ready, can Christmas be far behind? - Montreal Gazette

Those that are ready are being packed and loaded onto trucks destined for Quebec big-box stores including Provigo, Maxi, Home Depot and counterparts in Ontario — and the rest will follow in the weeks ahead.Among their employees are seasonal workers from Guatemala and Mexico.John Kenney / Montreal GazetteThe poinsettia (botanical name Euphorbia pulcherrima) is a perennial flowering shrub native to Mexico; in its natural habitat it can grow to three metres or taller. It blooms in November and December as the days grow shorter and the nights lengthen. What most people think of as its flowers are, in fact, modified leaves called bracts. The poinsettia’s true flowers are an unassuming cluster of yellowish orbs at the base of the bracts.The plant owes its English name to Joel Roberts Poinsett, United States ambassador to Mexico from 1825 to 1829. An avid amateur botanist, he saw euphorbias with red bracts growing wild in the hills around Taxco and had samples sent to his South Carolina home. There he propagated them in his greenhouses and gave them to friends and botanical gardens.
