Florists For Social Justice at Sherman Phoenix - Urban Milwaukee
Sunday, July 05, 2020Calendulas, Ninebark, Colocasia and Rudbeckia (black-eyed Susans). “What we really like about that is that flower symbolizes encouragement,” said the florist about the Rudbeckia.The installation honors Leaders Igniting Transformation (LIT MKE) and the over two dozen minority-owned businesses in the Sherman Phoenix. The marketplace opened in 2018 in a former bank that was damaged in the 2016 Sherman Park unrest.“The entire point of this is to draw attention to LIT Milwaukee or whoever we’re highlighting,” said Rachel Stenman, a goldsmith in the collective.The group formed in 2017 to do three installations and reunited this year to do a Juneteenth day installation outside America’s Black Holocaust Museum.The flowers used in the piece would have otherwise been composted because of the cancellations of weddings and other large events as a result of the pandemic. Vander Wyst estimated the installation would have cost $6,000 at market price.The Sherman Phoenix piece is planned to last through Monday morning. Photos are encouraged.What’s next? The group plans a large one-day installation in August at multiple locations that are either Black-owned businesses or cultural institutions.PhotosMore about the George Floyd ProtestsGroup Repainting Defund Mural, MPD Watches - Urban Milwaukee - Jul 5th, 2020Protest Day 37: Marches, Celebrations, Calls For Justice - Jeramey Jannene - Jul 4th, 2020Rep.

Cambridge florist’s truck broken into after delivering meals to frontline coronavirus medical workers - Boston Herald
Sunday, July 05, 2020The owners of a fourth-generation florist shop in Cambridge woke up to disturbing news Wednesday when they learned someone had broken into a truck they’ve been using to delivering thousands of meals to frontline healthcare workers amid the coronavirus pandemic.The passenger side window of Central Square Florist’s truck got smashed overnight inside the Green Street Garage in Cambridge.The family-owned business since 1929 has been shuttered since the coronavirus shutdown, and instead they’ve been volunteering their vehicles to deliver food to frontline healthcare workers.“It’s just very frustrating,” Jackie Levine of Central Square Florist said of the truck break-in. “It’s bad regardless when people do this, but it’s even worse now.“It just hits harder because we’re already stressed out that we’re not open,” she said. “We don’t need this kind of frustration.”They’re on pace to deliver about 4,000 meals to medical workers this week.

Among the local businesses that reopened Friday was florist shop Sunflorist in Canyon Country, which kept busy with Mother’s Day arrangement orders.“It’s crazy, crazy, crazy. We’re really thankful for the reopening and it’s just in time to thank all the mothers who are working right now during a very tragic time,” said store manager Kimo Hernandez.While curbside pickup service is in the works, the shop is currently offering non-contact deliveries, where drivers drop off arrangements at home porches, without the need of a signature, Hernandez said, adding that employees are also practicing up to 12 feet of distancing and delivery workers are using special racks for safer pickup arrangements.
