Woodman Florist to move out of Peterborough, for now - Monadnock Ledger Transcript
Sunday, February 10, 2019My grandfather, Rodney Woodman, he first started delivering flowers in Peterborough by train. He would put the flowers on the train in East Milford and then they would come up here to Bennington and Peterborough and Jaffrey and the mailman would pick the flowers up off the train and then give them to the correct people to deliver them and then they would be delivered by the postal service,” Palmer said.Palmer said it is time for a change and the Route 202/Concord Street location is a commercial operation located in a residential part of town. He added he also has more than 6 acres of land between the business lot and an abutting residential property, but has been unable to utilize the land.“I’m going to be 68 years old,” he said. “I’ve got six-and-a-half acres here and I’ve tried to do things here in the past, and they wouldn’t let me.”Palmer said he will be helping out his sister in Milford for the big florist events of the year such as Valentine’s Day and plans to spend several week clearing out the Peterborough flower shop and green house.Woodman’s Florist employs six people. Palmer said he is not sure how it is going to work out, and said it is not entirely up to him, but said he believes a driver and at least one shop clerk will be able to find a new job at the Milford location.Palmer said his flower shop doesn’t need six acres and thinks the housing is needed in Peterborough. “I see the need for lower taxes,” he said.In June, EAM Peterborough Holdings LLC bought the Woodman’s property, 69 Concord Street, as well as the abutting property, 75 Concord Street, from the Stephen K. Palmer Trust for $450,000, according to town property records.This fall EAM Peterborough Holdings presented a plan for a possible 20-unit subdivision on the two lots, which are located in the General Residence District, to the Peterborough Planning Board. A conceptual hearing is a non-binding consultation with the Planning Board in order for the board to give input and advice before an application is filed.Chad Branon, a civil engineer from Fieldstone Land Consultants in Milford, spoke on behalf of the potential applicant. According to meeting minutes, Branon said the plan is to redevelop the site, building 20 units – 12 single-family houses and 4 duplexes – and said the units would range in square footage from 920 to 1,150 square feet.On Monday, Peterborough community development director Peter Throop said he is expecting an application on the project, but has not yet received one. https://www.ledgertranscript.com/Woodman-s-Florist-closes-Peterborough-location-22763813

Last month, he took over the East Rockaway Florist. He had just launched the new operation when he had to shut down. Since opening, Graham has been active in both communities, and each Valentine's Day he donates roses to MSSN so that the staff can give them to patients along with their meals.“That was my whole goal all along was to be a part of the community,” Graham said, “to help in any way that I can, and just give to the community. It's making people smile. It's making people happy, whatever I can do, I'll do it.”Graham said closing his shops has had a devastating financial impact, including having to be dormant for Easter and Passover, two holidays where he generates a lot of business. He added that he was worried that he may be closed for Mother's Day in May, which is usually a booming day for business.Graham noted that he has not laid anyone off, and that the staff is working to get through the global crisis as a team. He said he wishes his customers, community members and fellow business owners well, and expressed optimism that things will turn around eventually.“Everyone will get through this together,” he said, “and the positive in the end is we'll get back and support our local businesses.” ... https://www.liherald.com/stories/flowers-by-mike-in-oceanside-east-rockaway-donates-arrangements-to-seniors-hospitals-and,123706
