Vancouver Island flower farmers were blooming as the pandemic wilted everything else - vancouverislandfreedaily.com
Wednesday, October 28, 2020In March when the Dutch destroyed millions of their highly sought-after tulip bulbs, it was evident that the pandemic had sucker-punched the global flower business.But even as Canadian flower shops shut and flower farmers battled uncertainty, a very different scenario was unfolding for two east Vancouver Island farmers.Candice Woloshyn’s Merville-based operation, Dirty Girl Flowers (DGF), is just a year old but her family kitchen had turned into a “flower hot spot” during weekends as the pandemic progressed. Mason jars filled with wildflowers were lined up for deliveries.This year was “busier” for the danseuse-turned-horticulturist as she took up a regular spot at local farmers’ markets in Campbell River and Comox and continued with door-to-door deliveries.“I guess, people wanted something pretty to look at during the period of isolation,” said Woloshyn, as people in her neighbourhood placed orders for weekly deliveries of fresh flowers.Bouquets of wildflowers, dahlias, sweet peas and heirloom narcissi became “a sight for their sore eyes” and kept Woloshyn busy throughout the season.When the pandemic began she, like most flower growers, was “terrified” that... https://www.vancouverislandfreedaily.com/news/vancouver-island-flower-farmers-were-blooming-as-the-pandemic-wilted-everything-else/
Parker: Momentum carries new Canadians to successful floral business - Calgary Herald
Wednesday, October 28, 2020It was while perusing the web that she discovered Momentum — a program that provides training to new Canadians and low-income Albertans in a bid to improve the economy as a whole — made an appointment and told the counsellor, “I want to start a business here, but I don’t know how.”After relating her previous business history, she was told she had the ability to run her own enterprise in Calgary and was encouraged to take a six-month Momentum course. Her sink or swim attitude resulted in her quitting her job at Market Mall, dedicating her time to school from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day, plus homework.Thanks to all that she learned from the course, she was granted a Momentum small business loan and a crucial, larger loan from BDC, and with some added family savings the couple bought the former Unique Flower Boutique business that had been in the same location for 22 years.That was in 2012, just over a year after they arrived here.Refat says he enjoyed being his own designer of floral arrangements and, with a number of inherited clients in the shop’s database, they were off and running.Then came the 2013 flood, and although they didn’t suffer water damage the shop was closed for ... https://calgaryherald.com/business/commercial-real-estate/parker-momentum-carries-new-canadians-to-successful-floral-business

Texas Florist Who Admitted to Being in Pelosi’s Office Wants Case Moved from D.C. Because of ‘Cancel Culture’ - Law & Crime
Wednesday, March 31, 2021Washington, D.C. because of “cancel culture.” The defense for Texas florist Jenny Louise Cudd, who was on video happily admitting to being in the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, asserted authorities were creating the “illusion” of a conspiracy between her and Eliel Rosa by linking their cases.“According to the Government’s Statement of Facts, the two were seen on security footage walking into the building, walking around, and walking out,” attorney Marina Medvin said in a filing Wednesday. “There is no evidence of communications or a plan between the two to enter the Capitol. Instead, the evidence is purported to be that they were at the same place, at the same time, followed a crowd into the open doors of the Capitol building, then walked out. They didn’t take anything, they didn’t break anything.”Cudd was among rioters raiding the U.S. Capitol Building on Jan. 6, after then-President Donald Trump continued to lie that he actually won the 2020 presidential election. The invaders postponed but did not prevent Congress for counting electoral college votes weighing in favor of the real winner, Preside... https://lawandcrime.com/u-s-capitol-siege/texas-florist-who-admitted-to-being-in-pelosis-office-wants-case-moved-from-d-c-because-of-cancel-culture/

How to Get Married During a Pandemic? With Tents, Masks and Fewer Guests - The Two River Times
Sunday, February 28, 2021There’s no way I can do it by myself,” Malloy said, noting that both her job and her husband’s job are stressful. Matt is a tugboat captain who was then working three weeks on, three weeks off in Texas.The Malloys were able to use their original photographer, DJ and florist, but Deo had to procure a tent, caterer, tables, seating and more. They used Brennan’s Delicatessen in Rumson for the food and Bay Ave. Bakery in Highlands for the cake. In the end they spent more than their original budget for the wedding which Deo said is not unusual for a tent wedding.“Don’t be surprised if your budget is going to be a little bit more, or equal to where you were with your venue,” she said, which always catches people off-guard. “You are no longer in a venue with a roof over your head, with air conditioning and heat and tables and chairs and staff and everything else. You are now in the middle of a backyard or farm… and we’re bringing in every single fork, every chair, every plate, every light, every everything, and you’re building this atmosphere or this vibe out of nothing.”“To create that wedding atmosphere and everything that goes into it is a lot of money,” Deo said.The Malloys invited about 185 guests to the October wedding and ended up with about 120, a hundred fewer than their... https://tworivertimes.com/how-to-get-married-during-a-pandemic-with-tents-masks-and-fewer-guests/
