'A natural partnership': Mustard Seed partners with florist for special pop-up - Clarion Ledger

Ridgeland.Carly McKie, manager of Green Oak Florist in Ridgeland, invited the Mustard Seed, a community in Brandon for adults with developmental disabilities, to show its creations and join forces for the popup.“It was a natural partnership,” McKie said. “There’s so much creativity put into each piece created at the Mustard Seed. No two are alike.”Pink Gerbera daisies, yellow tulips and other brightly colored blossoms looked right at home in the vases, jars and containers the participants at the Mustard Seed, who are fondly known as “Seedsters,” painted with dots and dashes and swirls and stripes.“All of the vases we had previewed sold in the first hour, and the Mustard Seed had to bring in several more boxes of pots, vases, pitchers, and utensil holders,” McKie said. “It was an incredible day connecting with the community and bringing smiles to people’s faces.”The pop-up marked the first time Mustard Seed partnered with a florist for an event showcasing its creations filled with fresh flowers, said Kaitlin Childress, volunteer coordinator at the Mustard Seed.The Mustard Seed closed its campus and gift shop for several weeks at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Childress said, and the popup offered an outlet for sales... https://www.clarionledger.com/story/magnolia/upside/2020/08/19/mustard-seed-green-oak-pop-up/3289607001/

A vision of beauty in Ridgeland: Wildflowers, whimsical sculptures and community spirit - Clarion Ledger

Richardson said. “These special seeds were donated through the All-American Seed organization as part of a program with America in Bloom.“A handsome metal sign by Tommy Coziar of Brandon makes sure visitors to the wildflower field know they’re in the City of Ridgeland. Another sign reminds visitors to stay on the walking paths, not to dig any plants up, to cut flowers in moderation and to not litter.Visitors welcome to pick a small bouquetRichardson estimates that the all of the work that has been done to transform the wildflower meadow into a spot worthy of visitors would have cost about $40,000, but it was less than that thanks to donations and partnerships with Keep Mississippi Beautiful, Ridgeland Recreation and Parks and Ridgeland Public Works Department.The wildflower field offers a new location for a short walk, a place to enjoy a moment of solitude and a backdrop for Insta-worthy photos.The public is welcome to cut a few blossoms from the zinnia field or the wildflower field. “We say no picking by commercial growers or flower shops, but anyone else is welcome to pick a small bouquet to take home,” Richardson said.Just a look at the colorful blooms can provide hope during this time when there’s s... https://www.clarionledger.com/story/magnolia/upside/2020/08/12/ridgeland-mississippi-wildflower-fields/5525016002/

'No regrets': Longtime Sioux Falls florist leaves legacy of success - Argus Leader

Pat always valued spending time in his community, Jean said. In addition to running his own business, he was involved in the Lions Club and helped found the South Dakota Floral Association. According to his obituary, Gustaf was also a devoted Catholic who served at Christ the King Catholic Church in Sioux Falls and later St. Mary. "One thing he always said was, 'Get out into the community. The town supports you if you support the town,'" Jean said. Although he never went to college, Gustaf valued education. He made time to teach floral design at Southeast Technical Institute for several years and would often mentor other florists, along with attending every floral convention he could find. "He was never afraid to die, but he just wasn’t quite ready to leave this party," his obituary read. Gustaf's death comes only nine days after that of his daughter Emily Gustaf, who died at age 37. Despite having a brain injury since babyhood, Emily lived a life that was "big and bold," according to her obituary. She participated in Special Olympics for many years and took home a gold medal in swimming from the 1999 International Special Olympics. "She could talk to anyone about anything," Emily's obituary read. "She was quick to love and slow to judge."   Pat Gustaf's funeral will be held at St. Mary Catholic Church on Saturday at 10:30 a.m., with visitation scheduled for Friday at 4:30 p.m. at St. Mary. Although his illness made it difficult for him to work as it progressed, Jean said Pat never wanted to slow down. When he was unable to go into the shop during rounds of chemotherapy, he set up a small studio in his home where he continued making silk bouquets for as long as he could. That dogged perseverance was what served him all his life, allowing him to continue a decades-long career in the floral business.  "That's probably his legacy: Keep trying," Jean said.  When the Argus Leader spoke with Pat as he closed up his shop last December, he said that more than anything, he was thankful for the customers who made his business the long-lasting success that it was. "I got to do what I love for 42 years," Gustaf said. "I want them to know how grateful I am – grateful from the bottom of my heart."... https://www.argusleader.com/story/news/business-journal/2019/10/31/longtime-sioux-falls-florist-leaves-legacy-success-gustafs-greenery/2501479001/
