‘Master florist’ Haruko Adkins, 90, had a passion for flower arrangements and tennis - The Washington Post
Monday, August 24, 2020Earl A. Adkins, a criminal investigator in the U.S. Army Military Police Corps. With his work, the couple traveled and lived in several places, including San Francisco and Germany, before settling in Arlington. He died in 1999.Adkins had a large group of friends and was known for helping others. If someone else wanted flowers she planned to use in an arrangement, she would happily give them away, Morhart said.“She was very, very generous,” Morhart said. “She was always willing to say: ‘Help yourself. Take that if you need it.’ She had a very sharing nature.”Adkins also did volunteer projects, including making sweaters and bags to carry food for those in need. She was once named Volunteer of the Year at Goodwin House.Valerie Burke, the chief philanthropy officer at Goodwin House, said Adkins also enjoyed working at a thrift shop on the property as a volunteer and was good at making displays.“She loved getting to know people and helping them find just the right trinket,” Burke said. In the dining room at Goodwin House, Burke said, Adkins would help if she noticed others weren’t eating enough or needed a hand.“She’d say, ‘You’re losing too much weight,’?” Burke said. “Then she’d go over and help them eat. She was a real connector.”In early May, Adkins came down to meet her weekly flower-arranging group but said she couldn’t stay because she didn’t feel well. A few days later she went to the hospital and tested positive for the coronavirus, according to friends. She died 12 days later. “We were all very, very sad,” Morhart said. “She was so easy to work with, so talented and just fun to be around.”Read more:... https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/haruko-adkins-coronavirus/2020/08/18/58bc3c7a-e13e-11ea-b69b-64f7b0477ed4_story.html

Dayton Tennessee, pop up flower shop – The Triangle - Triangle
Sunday, February 28, 2021Written by: Eleanor Sanford, staff writerDAYTON, Tenn. – Love is in the air as Valentine’s day is quickly approaching. Every store in Dayton, Tennessee, is filling up with heart-shaped items and red roses. I recently met a local business owner, Lacey Raburn, who owns Raburn Acres. Raburn Acres is a local flower farm and florist that has been in Dayton for the past three years. I met Lacey at a pop-up flower shop hosted at Jennings Coffee & Tea. She brought in six buckets filled with colorful bouquets, and people began rolling in. Within 30 minutes, she had sold out. Lacey has a pop-up shop every Thursday morning from 10:30-12:30 at Jennings. She and her family have a farm where they plant and grow all their own flowers, which she crafts into some amazing bouquets and sells to the community. Lacy is currently working on creating her own workshop, she used to create all the bouquets from her kitchen counter, but as of January, she said, “I went from selling 15-20 bouquets each week to selling 50-60 every week.” She just opened a self-serve mini flower stand across from the golf course in Dayto... http://www.bryantriangle.com/news/dayton-tennessee-pop-up-flower-shop/

Moribana (‘piled up flowers’) is one of the expressions of this art, combining several clusters in natural-looking shapes and a mound of beautiful flowers to create a naturalistic landscape complementing the different seasons. My presentation will show the variety of containers and flowers that can be used as well as how the various design f... http://www.chattanoogapulse.com/events/ikebana-moribana-art-japanese-flower-arranging/

Friday, May 29, 2020Little Honey" that grows to about 5-feet tall and keeps its stunning foliage color all through the growing season.

And finally, there’s "Snowflake," a double-flowered form with huge, stunning blooms of white, fading to rose/pink. All the hydrangeas are best in a little afternoon shade in Kentucky.

Tallahassee's florist to the Legislature - Florida Politics
Saturday, January 18, 2020Elinor Doyle.Just to be clear, there was an Elinor Doyle, who started the business in 1926, but she has been dead for nearly half a century. Her picture, however, hangs in the Tennessee Street storefront, keeping watch over owner Roxie Anne Clark and Liz Santini (who has worked there for 23 years) who will be preparing hundreds of arrangements before the Session starts Tuesday.A deluge of work after a busy Christmas season because of the even-year early Session isn’t a particularly unique challenge, Clark said.“We are coming out of the holiday season, but it’s not necessarily any worse than having it a little after Valentine’s Day, so it’s kind of the same thing,” she commented.Valentine’s Day is the No. 1 busiest day of their year, but at Elinor Doyle Florist, the start of Session is definitely No. 2. The team will work long hours over the weekend before Session begins to assure their flowers arrive in peak form. They’ll start with dish gardens, which will get a colorful addition of red mini carnations and white cushion mums right before delivery Monday. (An aside to the aides: Those gardens will last throughout Session if they’re watered weekly and kept in a not-too-sunny spot.)Florida’s chiropractors will again be gifting each member of the House and Senate with sunflowers. Orchids are on hand, a favorite gift from lobbyist Ron Book, who always sends a large basket of the tropical blooms to his daughter, Sen. Lauren Book.
