Maker Space: Eden Garrett's idea blossomed - NWAOnline

The result is an Instagram-ready, magazine-worthy florist on wheels.Garrett started running the business in March of her senior year, while she was still in college in Springfield, Mo."I would drive it to class, go to class and then open up on campus and sell flowers out of it," she says. It was an immediate success, as she suspected it would be. She originally got the idea from a business she saw in Nashville, Tenn., where a woman was selling bouquets out of an open-air Volks-wagen. Eden Garrett (left), with Eden's Botanicals, visits with Sam Carlton at the entrance of her new brick and mortar store Friday, February 7, 2020, located at Uptown Apartments and Retail in Fayetteville. Garrett started her business with a mobile flower truck. Check out nwadg.com/photos for a photo gallery.(NWA Democrat-Gazette/David Gottschalk) "So with mine I thought, 'How do I make that not so seasonal?'" says Garrett. "Because with hers, I noticed that if it rained, she had to close, and then she would have to close for a portion of the year until it was warmer weather. I thought, 'I'm going to do something where people walk right inside, an immersive experience, where they're surrounded by flowers.'"The particular genius of Garrett's idea is that the mobility of the business means it can be placed in well-traveled places, catering to those who may have forgotten a special event, only to be reminded of it when they see the flower truck."Mostly, it's targeted towards men who have no idea what they're doing," says Garrett with a laugh. "Maybe they're in trouble with their girlfriend or wife, and they're like, 'I need some flowers.' And maybe they're intimidated to walk inside a full-on florist because they think, 'I don't know if a twenty-dollar bill can get me what she deserves,' or 'I don't know what colors.' But if a guy comes in my truck and says, 'Here's a twenty-dollar bill, make me something -- her favorite color is pink,' then I can customize it to their price point. There's no minimum or maximum -- it's whatever they happen to have in their pocket."After graduation, Garrett spent about a year in Springfield running the truck before deciding to move to Northwest Arkansas."I love Northwest Arkansas," she says. "There are so many opportunities for growth here. And because I work out of a truck, I can go from Fayetteville to Rogers to Springdale to Bentonville and all of those towns in between -- so I catch more people than just being in the middle of Springfield."Garrett says part of the process of becoming a successful business person was learning how to be flexible when business was in a slow period."I'm just motivated every day to push forward and make the sales higher each day -- even if it's really slow, even if, that day, no one wants flowers," she says. "I'll think, 'OK, what else can I do? Can I do deliveries? Can I announce on social media that all bouquets are $5 or that delivery is free on this particular day?' Each day, I'm going to make as much money as I can and provide an excellent product."She's also available for parties and weddings; one popular option for celebrations are the custom flower crowns partygoers can make inside the truck.Garrett says she's wanted to own a business since she was a child. Her first business idea -- a boutique that would serve as both a makeup salon as well as an event space, so you could ge... https://www.nwaonline.com/news/2020/feb/13/maker-space-eden-garrett-s-idea-blossom/

Riverside small businesses prepare to reopen for coronavirus stage 2 - Press-Enterprise

Phones are ringing off the hook and florists are scrambling to process orders as Mother’s Day draws close, a scene much like other holidays at Riverside Mission Florist — except for the masks, gloves, 6 feet of separation between workers and locked doors.Friday, May 8, will be the first day open for curbside pickup at florists, bookstores, sports shops and other businesses that can now reopen with restrictions as part of phase 2 of the state’s coronavirus response.That means many Riverside businesses that can easily implement safety measures to lower the risk of COVID-19 to patrons and employees — such as curbside pickup — were preparing for their first day of business since the pandemic began.Gene Berkman arranges books Thursday, May 7, 2020, at Renaissance Book Shop in Riverside as he prepares to reopen the business.

Calgary woman finds heirloom seeds in attic, hopes to grow vintage flowers - CBC.ca

England in 1904. And he was not your garden-variety gardener. "His house had about three lots, so he grew flowers and vegetables, which he sold at his store ... T.S. Purver, Seedsman & Florist," Arena said. "He sold ice cream, tobacco, plants and seeds. I still have the scale that he weighed the seeds on to sell. At the back of his house he had a shed, and all the walls were covered with first- and second-place certificates and his red and blue ribbons." The shop was called T.S. Purver, Seedsman & Florist. The items for sale included ice cream, tobacco, plants and seeds, as well as flowers grown in the owner's home garden in Crescent Heights. (Submitted by Judy Arena) Arena's family has carried on the gardening tradition with pride, she said, always growing plants from seeds. "My grandfather taught my father Clayton how to garden, how to grow plants from seeds," she said, adding that his house was in Crescent Heights, known at the time as the Village of Crescent Heights. Judy Arena says her great grandfather Thomas S. Purver won many accolades, blue ribbons and trophies for his plants and seeds. (Submitted by Judy Arena) When my great grandfather died in 1951, he would have put those seeds in his cellar, where it would be cool," she said. "And they probably stayed there until my great grandmother passed away in 1967. And my dad has taken care of my great grandfather's house, and his gardens, for my grandmother. "So, when she passed away, he would have taken that little wooden box and put it in, I guess, in his garage." Moore has owned the house in Ramsay — one of Calgary's oldest neighbourhoods — for six years. "I'm so happy to hear about the history of the house," she said. "When we did have a chance to talk, she told me about how her parents built this house, and told me the history and, and it was so fun to hear. Kind of the origins of my house and her story, and now it's our family's story." img alt srcset="https://i.cbc.ca/1.5518509.1585788322!/fileImage/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/original_300/thomas-purver.jpg 300w, https://i.cbc.ca/1.5518509.1585788322!/fileImage/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/original_460/thomas-purver.jpg 460w, https://i.cbc.ca/1.5518509.1585788322!/fileImage/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/original_620/thomas-purver.jpg 620w, https://i.cbc.ca/1.55185... https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/heirloom-seeds-attic-vintage-tray-florist-purver-1.5518367
