Sunday, February 09, 2020Store in Somerville.In 2012, Menefee also took over Archer’s House of Flowers in Remington, making floral deliveries in southern Fauquier -- Remington, Catlett, Sumerduck, Midland, Bealeton and Jeffersonton. Now she’s devoting all her time to the flower shop in the historic building that houses Grove's Store, which her family has owned and operated since 1908. This building, besides containing a florist shop, also contains the original 1914 Somerville Post Office and a small convenience business; it is adorned with small antiques and collectibles on the building's original high wooden shelving. The florist business still serves the entire southern Fauquier area, as well as customers in Warrenton and Culpeper. Menefee said her flowers are reasonably priced and professionally arranged for weddings, get-wells, sympathies, anniversaries, birthdays and special occasions such as Valentine's and Mother's Day. Forget Me Not Flowers' reputation has grown mostly through word of mouth – neighbors telling neighbors, Menefee said.

Saturdays bring freshness at the farmers market - The Tide
Tuesday, November 19, 2019Photo by Victoria TongPhoto by Victoria TongA vendor offers a wide selection of bell peppers for sale to buyers.At 9 a.m. Saturday morning, the jury parking lot at the corner of East Jefferson and Monroe Street is already packed. A few disgruntled drivers honk as still more cars pull into the lot, only to circle around and exit fruitlessly without a parking space. Rising above the commotion of cars are the pointed peaks of white tents that signal the bounty everyone has come for: the freshest selection of fruits and vegetables that money can buy, right here in Rockville.The Rockville Farmers Market is held every Saturday from May through Thanksgiving. Open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., it includes more than 23 local vendors selling everything from peaches to pistachio pastries to pickles. One vendor, Jim Unger of Unger’s Fruit Farm, has been a part of the market since it began in 1989.“We’re the only original vendor left. Everybody else is new,” Unger said. Currently, Unger’s farm has a colorful selection of apples, potatoes, beans and peppers out for sale (contrary to its name, the farm does not only grow fruit), along with their homemade apple butter.Shoppers roam around among the various vendors.Unger has a faithful following, with some patrons having returned week after week for years. “We’ve had some people for... https://thermtide.com/8970/features/saturdays-bring-freshness-at-the-farmers-market/

Castle Rock florist to design 'Parasite' Oscars party - The Columbian
Sunday, February 09, 2020This is our ballgame now,” Vorse said of Pollen, the Castle Rock florist shop he opened July 2017. “I’ve worked with a lot of very large event production companies, but this is all Pollen. That’s the difference.”Event design and production company Gina Wade Creative met Saturday to decide who would design the party, Vorse said. None of the designers in L.A. fit their vision, and the company knew Vorse from working together on several past projects.“They got out of their meeting last Saturday and immediately they said, ‘We have to fly Pollen in,’ which is pretty neat,” Vorse said. “It was more than flattering, to say the least.”He declined to discuss how much he’ll earn or what the design costs.Vorse started his “creative process” almost immediately by watching “Parasite” for inspiration. Set in Korea, the dark comedy thriller follows one rich family and one poor family as their lives get unusually entangled.Pollen’s Oscar party design “pulls different moments” and “works off what the environment within the film looked like,” Vorse said. For example, all of the containers used in the design will be concrete, he said. He will fill the structures with “dark and sultry” colored flowers such as Japanese sweet peas.“It will all be very industrial, and the florals will be lush and romantic, but deep, dark, moody colors,” Vorse said.The Oscars party will feature suspended pieces and more avant garde decor than the weddings he’s designed in Cowlitz County, he said. But “pieces of Pollen” will shine through.“All that lushness and all the beautiful blossoms … the way we construct things here will be part of it. We will just add the extra flair once we get there.”Vorse will buy most of his flowers and design product once he’s in California, he said. But he also plans to take “a little piece of Washington with us,” because locally grown flowers are “just the best,” he said. Plus, some of those species aren’t readily available in Los Angeles. The Columbian is becoming a rare example of a news organization with local, family... https://www.columbian.com/news/2020/feb/05/castle-rock-florist-to-design-parasite-oscars-party/
