Community unites to brighten up Upper Gornal with flowers - Worcester News

THE community in Upper Gornal has rallied together to inject some colour on to the streets thanks to the addition of flower boxes. Councillors Keiran Casey and Adam Aston joined forces with the Oval and Tudor Tenants and Residents Association to install the flowers boxes at the The Arcade Shopping Precinct on Kent Street and on former derelict land on Eve Lane. It is the first time such a project, called 'Upper Gornal in Bloom' has been launched in the area, and it is hoped the project can be rolled out to Woodsetton soon. The community joined together to plant the flowers, with local residents, members of the TRA and members from 1st Upper Gornal Scouts and Cubs lending a hand. Joan Porter from Oval and Tudor Tenants and Residents Association said: "The new flower boxes look fantastic all planted up and will add some much needed colour to the local shopping arcade throughout the colder and darker winter months. "We are very happy that we have been able to work with Adam and Keiran on this project and it was brilliant to see the whole community come together including the local scouts and cubs group in Upper Gornal."

While wine baskets may be created, they will have to be picked up at the shop due to licensing restrictions.“While I am fully licensed for wine tastings, sampling and sales, I am not currently licensed to deliver wine. There is a great deal that comes along with that, and right now, we opted out of going that route,” she explained.Sturm said that with the growth of businesses and the revitalization of Main Street Grafton, she is excited to be a part of it. The Flower Market will be taking part in First Friday events, including a wine tasting event at 6:30 p.m., during the March First Friday celebration.Be sure to head down to The Flower Market, located at 76 West Main Street, Grafton, on Saturday, January 11, from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m., for their Grand Opening.

South Jersey flower shop will help special needs students grow toward employment - Cherry Hill Courier Post

The school received $24,000 in grant funding from the Woods Foundation, a philanthropic arm of the Langhorne, Pennsylvania-based parent company of Archway, to open and operate the shop. "This class is quite important for the students," noted Wesley Roach, a teacher at Archway's Upper School. It helps them acquire skills for jobs after they graduate, and experience working with others. "It allows them to see other things outside their box, and gives them a chance to move around; it's more interactive than in a classroom setting and the teachers make the class fun and engaging," he added. Archway has in recent years expanded its on- and off-campus structured learning experiences, explained Archway's Upper School principal Mark Letiziano, who's been at the school for the last 19 years. "We're doing more to prepare students' resumes and give them valid experiences that will help them transition to employment after graduation," he said. "Job sampling helps them decide, well, this really isn't for me, but maybe something else is a good fit once they get some hands-on experiences." For Serenity Wested, horticulture class is an opportunity to break free from the traditional classroom. https://www.courierpostonline.com/story/news/local/south-jersey/2019/03/01/waterford-nj-flower-shop-help-special-needs-students-grow-toward-employment/2951323002/

Penn State already did an excellent job of identifying the top underclassmen in Pennsylvania, and is doing just as good a job getting them on campus multiple times already.So as Harrisburg (Pa.) Steelton-Highspire class of 2022 athlete Mehki Flowers was back on campus Saturday for the fourth time in four months, it went well again as he watched the Nittany Lions remain unbeaten with a “White Out” win against Michigan.“The atmosphere was amazing,” the 6-foot-1, 187-pound Flowers said. “I was speechless. I was in awe every time the crowd stood up and got loud. That’s, for sure, a place people want to be.”Since Flowers is a sophomore, college coaches cannot call him. However, he can call them and talk, but nothing beats getting face time with them, and he relished the opportunity again.“The coaches are great,” Flowers said. “They always have high energy. Every coach I talked to, they acted like they knew me for years and I’ve only known them a couple months. They definitely want you to feel like it’s a home.”Flowers also paid close attention to the game, and what too... https://247sports.com/Article/Mehki-Flowers-Penn-State-Nittany-Lions-white-out-football-recruiting-137415008/
