Green Thumb: Weird temperatures nothing our plants can't handle - Memphis Commercial Appeal
Tuesday, January 05, 2016The latter must be the case for the light pink hydrangeas blooming in outdoor urns at the entrance of the Sheffield Antique Mall in Collierville.These are probably remontant or re-blooming hydrangeas that never fully stopped producing buds and flowers.Most years, errant blooms are not harmful to plants if the subsequent cool-down is not too drastic."But if temperatures fall from 70 degrees to 20 in a day and stay there," Reese said, "there could be some winter damage to twigs and branches."My deadline for this column fell before night-time temperatures were expected to drop below freezing, so this unusual flush of flowers has likely passed for now.The fate of our plants will not be known until spring. Some marginally hardy plants such as loropetalums may suffer a bit.But far more of our trees, shrubs, perennials and bulbs are conditioned to our normal but weird ups and downs of temperatures. I'm betting on them to stay strong.Gardening UniversitySome great gardeners learn how to grow plants almost exclusively through on-the-job-training and guidance from family members or friends who passed on their skills and experience.The rest of us benefit from some classroom learning to navigate the vast and complicated world of horticulture.Once again, Bartlett City Beautiful is offering its winter "gardening university," a series of seven garden talks from area master gardeners that begins Saturday.All of the presentations will be held at 2:30 p.m. in at the Bartlett Library, 5884 Stage.Jim Volgas will kick off the series this Saturday by discussing the attributes of healthy soil and how to build it by making and using compost.John Peterson, a master gardener and longtime member of the Memphis Herb Society, will explore growing, harvesting and cooking with herbs on Jan. 16.

Colorado Springs entrepreneur brings flowers and charm to Old Colorado City with Sweetwater: A Flower Market - Colorado Springs Gazette
Wednesday, March 31, 2021When Kristyn Cline walked into a mercantile shop while on a solo trip to Nashville, Tennessee, last September, she emerged with a spark of inspiration.The experience she had in the hometown-feeling store and the accompanying flower truck outside the store gave her an idea to open a business in Colorado Springs with the same vision.And with that short seven-day trip, “Sweetwater: A Flower Market” was born. The floral and mercantile store that opened this week is named for Sally, Cline’s mother, who passed nearly three years ago. The logo features lavender, Cline’s favorite scent, and something that calms and attracts her, and she hopes others as well. Cline bought a building at 2419 W. Colorado Ave. in Old Colorado City for the brick-and-mortar business, where she felt the market would fit in with the historic vibe while growing the neighborhood.Cline, 52, created Sweetwater because she wanted to share her experience with a southern charm mercantile store in Nashville with the Colorado Springs community.“It... https://gazette.com/cheyenneedition/colorado-springs-entrepreneur-brings-flowers-and-charm-to-old-colorado-city-with-sweetwater-a-flower/article_7dbaedde-77a5-11eb-8fe3-1b45ec1a2d2e.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/
