She taught herself to be a florist by watching YouTube - Los Angeles Times
Sunday, February 28, 2021This is part of our series PLANT PPL, where we interview people of color in the plant world. Mallory Browne always said she’d be a florist in her next life, but why wait? Toward the end of 2017, while working a desk job focused on the analytical side of marketing, Browne said to herself, “I don’t know what it’s going to be but I need to use my hands for something other than typing.” Later on, during a walk with her boyfriend, she said she felt compelled to vocalize what her intuition was telling her: “I’m going to be a florist.” For the record: 12:28 PM, Dec. 29, 2020An earlier version of this story misidentified the photographer who took the main image as Bryan Octaviano. The photo was taken by Lara Kaur.Known as “Mallory With the Flowers” on Instagram, Browne has virtually documented her journey as a self-taught florist who started by watching YouTube videos and designing arrangements with grocery store blooms. More than two years later, she has cultivated a portfolio demonstrating why she was called to be a florist: Her arrangements are as unique as fingerprints.This year, Browne started the Flowers for Blac... https://www.latimes.com/lifestyle/story/2020-12-28/mallory-brown-plant-ppl
Flowers 'bring love and cheerfulness': La Jolla Florist works to keep happiness in bloom - La Jolla Light
Sunday, February 28, 2021Business Spotlight:“Flowers make people happy, no matter the occasion,” Dorothy Bello says. And to continue to make people happy, she operates La Jolla Florist in the Patio Building at 7946 Ivanhoe Ave. For the record: 6:00 PM, Feb. 25, 2021This article was corrected to include that La Jolla Florist offers contactless delivery as well as pickup.La Jolla Florist has been a mainstay in The Village since 1987, but Bello and her husband, Ardi, purchased it four years ago. “La Jolla was our favorite spot,” she said. “My kids were both born and raised in San Diego, and La Jolla was our favorite place to walk the beach and explore the town. We always kept an eye on that community for a store.”After having jobs in which they were not happy, Bello and her husband asked themselves, “Why aren’t we doing what we love?” When La Jolla Florist went up for sale, they jumped in.

As coronavirus ravaged the prom and wedding seasons, florists found they had to adapt to survive - Pacific Northwest Inlander
Sunday, February 28, 2021With the pandemic causing in-person events for spring to be canceled, local florists had to adjust to running a business without depending on the income from graduations and weddings. Luckily, curbside pickup and delivery options have made many florists able to adapt along the way. Rose and Blossom, run by Terri O'Connor for the last 28 years, recently moved to a new location in the Spokane Valley. She says in a typical wedding season Rose and Blossom would cater to 250 or more weddings. The pandemic has pushed all the late-spring weddings until at least September or October, and this definitely put a dent in typical flower sales. "I'm not putting too many eggs in my basket for this year," O'Connor says, but she also acknowledges how their everyday floral designs will be an important component in pulling them through this season. One of the best ways for customers to support local florists, O'Connor says, is to spread the word about businesses you like, including by writing reviews online. North Spokane floral and gift shop Ritters has also been offering curbside pickup and delivery. Kirsten Wyman, the head of Ritters' social media accounts, has been working hard to promote every plant the company receives and show a deeper look into the plant company's daily orders. They also worked to get more creative with their online sales. With sales dipping dramatically this spring for fresh-cut flowers, Ritters decided to close its fresh-cut flower shop for good; however, it kept open all other aspects of its business. "It wasn't an easy decision by any means, but it's a perishable item," says Denice Thompson, the company's manager. The pandemic has ultimately brought unpredictability to the forefront of ma... https://www.inlander.com/spokane/as-coronavirus-ravaged-the-prom-and-wedding-seasons-florists-found-they-had-to-adapt-to-survive/Content?oid=19786088
Palmer Florist Persists Despite No Easter Church | Joliet, IL Patch - Joliet, IL Patch
Sunday, February 28, 2021JOLIET, IL —Easter Sunday is just days away and that means Palmer Florist, one of Joliet's longest running small family businesses, is usually delivering beautiful floral arrangements to several of Joliet's Roman Catholic churches. Not this year. As has been the case for the past few weeks, Joliet's churches will remain empty on Easter Sunday because of the new coronavirus outbreak. Funeral homes have also had to dramatically scale back their services. Many small businesses throughout Joliet remain shut down temporarily. Palmer Florist has been in Joliet since 1923. The third-generation small business has been at 1327 N. Raynor Ave. since 1964. Paul Palmer has run the business since 1978. He is like the unofficial mayor of Raynor Avenue.When he stands in his parking lot, several motorists who approach the stop sign in front of his business yell hello or engage in small talk with him if there aren't any other cars coming. People walking along Raynor Avenue stop to chat with him. People on bicycles wave and offer him good wishes.Losing out on the flora... https://patch.com/illinois/joliet/palmer-florist-persists-despite-no-easter-church
