Charlie Baker’s newly loosened restrictions on some small businesses arrives just in time for Mother’s Day.“We’ve had customers looking for flowers in general the entire time we were closed,” said Central Square Florist manager Jackie Levine who can now open up her Cambridge store. “We kept watching and hoping something would change.Change came Monday afternoon, when the Baker administration quietly updated its essential services guidance to allow a limited number of employees of florist shops and other businesses to reenter closed stores and warehouses to fulfill and ship orders taken over the phone and online.[embedded content]“It really is just an unbelievable feeling after so much negativity,” Levine said.Handling enormous demand for contactless deliveries for Mother’s Day, flower shop owners could lay the foundation for other non-essential businesses to come back from weeks of lockdown.Florists said calls, emails and online orders for bouquets flooded in immediately. https://www.bostonherald.com/2020/05/05/florists-reopen-ahead-of-mothers-day-planting-seed-for-non-essential-businesses-comeback/

Launching on Netflix on 18th May 2020, the show is presented by comedians Vic Reeves and Natasia Demetriou, and judged by florist to the stars, Kristen Griffith-VanderYacht.Each episode, the 10 pairs will be given a different theme, which they have to create entirely from flowers and plants.

Flower shops spring back to life ahead of Mother’s Day after state lifts restrictions - The Boston Globe
Friday, May 29, 2020Florist Tiffany Day shopped for flowers for her shop Petals By The Day in Westwood at the New England Exchange in Chelsea on Thursday.David L. Ryan/Globe StaffPat Riccardi spent his teens walking the streets of Somerville in the 1970s, peddling bouquets to make an extra buck as a high school and college student. But it took his father asking him to help out during the Valentine’s Day grind of 1980 to fully ensnare him in the family flower business. Forty years later, he and his brother own it.Yet the coronavirus brought Riccardi Wholesale Flowers to its knees when customers called en masse to cancel wedding and Easter orders. The busiest time of the year withered away.“All the orders that were supposed to go out from March 23rd onward, which would have been church and wedding work, just sat in our refrigerator for us to eat. If we couldn’t donate it, we threw it away,” said Riccardi, pained just thinking about the discarded blooms.AdvertisementBut a tired proverb proved true: April sho... https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/05/07/nation/after-months-empty-shelves-closed-shops-florists-spring-back-life-ahead-mothers-day-surge/
10 Florists Delivering Vibrant Bouquets for Mother’s Day - The New York Times
Friday, May 29, 2020Manhattan-based floral designer Emily Thompson, who hopes to reopen soon.Some florists who aren’t able to deliver bouquets this month have found alternative ways to spread beauty: the Brooklyn-based designer Ariel Dearie is selling photographs of her elegant arrangements of ranunculus flowers, allium stems and philodendron leaves (profits from the sale of her “Carondelet” print will be donated to Covid-19 relief), while Brittany Asch, of the Manhattan studio Brrch, is sculpting “virtual bouquets” by adorning photographs of people’s homes with gifs of unfurling taffy-pink lotus flowers, spinning roses and Technicolor hibiscuses. For those designers who are still able to make deliveries, creating arrangements has become an exercise in using whatever blooms they can find — tulips from local growers, roses from their gardens, even weeds from nearby hillsides. The results are a reminder that more spontaneous arrangements can feel a bit closer to nature, and that even the humblest blooms have the power to move us. Here, 10 florists from around the country who, despite sourcing challenges, are delivering joyful, unexpected arrangements within their areas in time for May 10.
