Get Your Floral Fix and Help Sustain the Rhode Island Flower Economy - Providence Media

There is beauty in the now, and I can at least offer that,” says Kocon. “We are thrilled to share this beauty as safely as possible.”A sea of daffodils may be blooming in Bristol at Blithewold Mansions, Gardens & Arboretum but the venue has dutifully postponed all upcoming private events, classes, and programs. However, Blithewold welcomes online visitors and is assembling a series of workshops which will be live-streamed through their Facebook page. "The estate may be closed to the public but Blithewold is always open, virtually of course. Watch for Blithewold Connects a new series of hands-on 20-minute workshops, 2-minute tiny tutorials and meditative live streams from the grounds," says Tree Callanan, director of Communications and Visitor Experience. The organization launched this initiative with a Make a Wattle Fence tutorial to a sold-out online crowd.“With everything changing so quickly we have no idea where we are going to be in five weeks when the tulips are blooming,” says Keriann Koeman of Wicked Tulips, the wildly popular flower tourism site looking forward to the first season at their new location in Exeter. “We are farmers and therefore optimistic that we will be able to open in some capacity, and as farmers we are also creating several contingency plans.” Ever resourceful, the Koemans are preparing Virtual Tulip Tours with a live Tulip Cam which will offer 360 degree views of the field, close-ups of flowers, and more. “We’re also kicking around ideas for drive-thru bouquet pick up and tulip field viewing, a tulip delivery service, and donations to nursing homes and hospitals.”“In this time of extra stress, everyone needs more flowers,” is the message from What Cheer Flower Farm in Providence. The 501c3 charity grows, rescues, and gives flowers to people who could use a boost from blooms, including patients, people in recovery centers and shelters, at-risk youth, and seniors with dementia. Recently, WCFF started an initiative called #ShareCheer where participants are encouraged to make a bouquet from a local florist or farm and post it to Instagram with the dedicated tag. Sounds like we could all use some of that.Give Blooms a BoostWith restrictions changing quickly, we are offering a partial list of flower related businesses and advise visiting their websites and social media accounts for updates.

Helmed by Maree Miller, Philpotts-Miller’s daughter, the boutique specializes in all styles of lei, bouquets and arrangements.

Historically Speaking: Florists a big part of Dover - Seacoastonline.com

The business remains in operation, however, with the next generation, Thomas Massingham as owner, located in the small plaza at the corner of Chestnut and Fourth streets.)This was not the only florist operation in town. Recently we mentioned the Elliott Greenhouses set back some distance from the Dover Point Road (the location of the present Ponte Place development). This was a major producer of roses, with a national, even international, clientele. For a time there was a retail store, Thornwood, in the building now occupied by Patty B's restaurant.Bob and Barbara Drew had a small greenhouse on Tolend Road. There was Bob's Flower Shop, Robert Ham proprietor, at 2 Central Ave. In the mid-1940s, there was Brown's Flower Shop (Aaron and Ralph Brown, owners) at 107 Washington St., which advertised being open on Sunday morning.The Whatnot Flowers and Gifts was at 517 Central Ave., owned by Edward and Natalie Duffy, with "a full line of religious articles."Perley Lee and his wife Mabelle had a greenhouse and retail store at 120 Stark Avenue next door to their home. In the mid-’80s the Siranian family at 103 Stark Ave. had a small greenhouse, and just down the road, beyond the current Dover Chevrolet complex, John Viola, who worked many years for the Lees, had two small greenhouses behind his family home.A larger, longer-lived business was Meader's Greenhouses at 21 Back River Road (the remains of some of the greenhouse buildings are still visible). The Meader family had deep roots in the Dover area. John lived at the corner of Back River and the Durham Road. Herbert lived just beyond the greenhouse property at 31 Back River Road (the house with the stone wall), and his son, David, lived at number 43. (Herbert, for a time, was a trustee of the Merchants Bank.) For many years, Meader's retail flower shop was at 10 Third St., then a large addition was built in front of the greenhouses, under David's management, and later became Sweet Meadows. The business was sold to William Hopkins, and subsequent owners have been at the current Portland Avenue location for many years since. (The original Sweet Meadows space is now Deco Dogs dog day care and grooming.)Just across the line in Madbury, close by the Durham Road, was Colpritt's Nursery, and much of the area today is likely supplied by the Wentworth Greenhouses in Rollinsford, which has grown over the years as other wholesale dealers in the area have declined and new neighborhoods have been developed with landscaping becoming a major business enterprise. Locally, in addition to the still active Garrison Hill and Sweet Meadows, there is the Flower Room on the Upper Square, guaranteeing at least that Dover's flower retail remains alive and well.Tony McManus is a Dover native. He is a former trustee of the Woodman Institute and an amateur student of Dover’s past.

'Always in Bloom,' flowers 'Blossom' for moms, 'Eden' during a pandemic - Sippican Week

Mother’s Day is fast approaching, and though families can’t go to brunch or and may have to stay six feet apart at the park, florists are still making sure that residents can buy flowers, even if they don’t come look at them.Sharon Monteiro, owner of Always in Bloom in Marion, said that although she has lost business with cancellations and postponements of proms, graduations and weddings, the flowers have never been more vibrant and business has been steady because of the holiday.“Without the world moving, mother nature is outdoing herself,” said Monteiro who said she has noticed the impact of less pollution. The owner is allowing one to two people in her shop at a time, but has noticed an increase in online orders, curbside pickup and delivery. Eden’s florist and garden shop further down the road in Marion has taken a similar approach with customers. Owner Esmeralda Braga said she doesn’t require customers to sign for card payments to keep contact to a minimum.To help further keep contact to a minimum, she took inspiration from a customer and now sells bouquets at the Marion General Store.

Where to have a small wedding in Westchester, Rockland - The Journal News

Surrounded by stone walls from the turn-of-the-century, it can be set up for both a ceremony and reception for up to 50 guests."I can do pretty much anything," said Kelly, an expert florist who has worked side by side with his brother, famed Hudson Valley chef Peter X. Kelly (of Restaurant X in Congers and X20 in Yonkers), for over 30 years. He also works with other local caterers, including Mimi's Plate in Tappan. The garden, with its variety of shade-loving plants, has been the scene for many an engagement photo, so branching out into weddings under this "new normal" just makes sense, said Kelly. Ideally, he'd like two weeks in advance but will try to accommodate folks as much as possible. Book it: 456 Piermont Ave., 845-359-4480, nedkellyandco.comPeter Pratt's Inn, Yorktown HeightsThere's plenty of outdoor space at this historic property with a sizeable lawn and a tented area on their back terrace.
