‘Master florist’ Haruko Adkins, 90, had a passion for flower arrangements and tennis - The Washington Post

Earl A. Adkins, a criminal investigator in the U.S. Army Military Police Corps. With his work, the couple traveled and lived in several places, including San Francisco and Germany, before settling in Arlington. He died in 1999.Adkins had a large group of friends and was known for helping others. If someone else wanted flowers she planned to use in an arrangement, she would happily give them away, Morhart said.“She was very, very generous,” Morhart said. “She was always willing to say: ‘Help yourself. Take that if you need it.’ She had a very sharing nature.”Adkins also did volunteer projects, including making sweaters and bags to carry food for those in need. She was once named Volunteer of the Year at Goodwin House.Valerie Burke, the chief philanthropy officer at Goodwin House, said Adkins also enjoyed working at a thrift shop on the property as a volunteer and was good at making displays.“She loved getting to know people and helping them find just the right trinket,” Burke said. In the dining room at Goodwin House, Burke said, Adkins would help if she noticed others weren’t eating enough or needed a hand.“She’d say, ‘You’re losing too much weight,’?” Burke said. “Then she’d go over and help them eat. She was a real connector.”In early May, Adkins came down to meet her weekly flower-arranging group but said she couldn’t stay because she didn’t feel well. A few days later she went to the hospital and tested positive for the coronavirus, according to friends. She died 12 days later. “We were all very, very sad,” Morhart said. “She was so easy to work with, so talented and just fun to be around.”Read more:... https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/haruko-adkins-coronavirus/2020/08/18/58bc3c7a-e13e-11ea-b69b-64f7b0477ed4_story.html

After century in Mount Prospect, Busse flower shop bolts for Rolling Meadows - Chicago Daily Herald

Mount Prospect that suited their needs but were unsuccessful. "Mount Prospect's square-footage retail rates are higher than Arlington Heights' and Rolling Meadows'," she said.

Historically Speaking: Florists a big part of Dover - Seacoastonline.com

Tolend Road. There was Bob's Flower Shop, Robert Ham proprietor, at 2 Central Ave. In the mid-1940s, there was Brown's Flower Shop (Aaron and Ralph Brown, owners) at 107 Washington St., which advertised being open on Sunday morning.The Whatnot Flowers and Gifts was at 517 Central Ave., owned by Edward and Natalie Duffy, with "a full line of religious articles."Perley Lee and his wife Mabelle had a greenhouse and retail store at 120 Stark Avenue next door to their home. In the mid-’80s the Siranian family at 103 Stark Ave. had a small greenhouse, and just down the road, beyond the current Dover Chevrolet complex, John Viola, who worked many years for the Lees, had two small greenhouses behind his family home.A larger, longer-lived business was Meader's Greenhouses at 21 Back River Road (the remains of some of the greenhouse buildings are still visible). The Meader family had deep roots in the Dover area. John lived at the corner of Back River and the Durham Road. Herbert lived just beyond the greenhouse property at 31 Back River Road (the house with the stone wall), and his son, David, lived at number 43. (Herbert, for a time, was a trustee of the Merchants Bank.) For many years, Meader's retail flower shop was at 10 Third St., then a large addition was built in front of the greenhouses, under David's management, and later became Sweet Meadows. The business was sold to William Hopkins, and subsequent owners have been at the current Portland Avenue location for many years since. (The original Sweet Meadows space is now Deco Dogs dog day care and grooming.)Just across the line in Madbury, close by the Durham Road, was Colpritt's Nursery, and much of the area today is likely supplied by the Wentworth Greenhouses in Rollinsford, which has grown over the years as other wholesale dealers in the area have declined and new neighborhoods have been developed with landscaping becoming a major business enterprise. Locally, in addition to the still active Garrison Hill and Sweet Meadows, there is the Flower Room on the Upper Square, guaranteeing at least that Dover's flower retail remains alive and well.Tony McManus is a Dover native. He is a former trustee of the Woodman Institute and an amateur student of Dover’s past.

Business at local flower grower Three Little Buds is blooming - My Buckhannon

There is a local flowers movement going across the country,” she said. “There is a farm called Floret Flowers out of Washington, and the founder is the poster child for specialty-cut flowers. She is getting a show on Magnolia Network through Chip and Joanna Gaines this fall. It’s kind of now a big thing to not only support local foods, but to support locally grown flowers.”When starting her business, Webb said growing and selling her flowers locally just spoke to her.“I want to be able to supply people with local flowers,” she said. “They are so beautiful, and they smell so good. I thought there was an advantage there versus a supermarket bouquet. I didn’t realize before getting into this just how many people love having flowers in their homes and how it brightens their day.”Webb said she is blown away by the support of the Buckhannon community.Webb with some of her colorful creations / Photo courtesy Joanna Webb“It’s kind of been encouraging during hot summer days when I am out here covered in bug bites, knowing that people love it and enjoy it and that it is valuable to them,” she said. “It is awesome and is the boost to keep going and it has been awesome this year.”Webb said additional information is available on Instagram and Facebook by searching ‘Three Little Buds,’ and her website is www.threelittlebudsflowers.com.

Small but mighty, a Washington florist battles back in the pandemic - Reuters

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The bloom is back at Lee’s Flower and Card Shop in Washington’s historic U Street neighborhood, with an added touch: Blue, green, yellow and white origami cranes spelling out the words “Black Lives Matter” on the storefront window. FILE PHOTO: Lee's Flower Shop, one of the oldest businesses in D.C.'s U Street neighborhood, posts signs on its windows ahead of another night of protests against George Floyd's death in Minneapolis police custody, in Washington, U.S., June 2, 2020. REUTERS/Erin ScottThe signs reflect a slow return to normalcy as life and business adapt to the coronavirus pandemic and racial justice movement that both erupted in the first half of 2020. The business, run by sisters Stacie Lee Banks and Kristie Lee, stayed open during the months of mandated shutdown in Washington, doing deliveries as its doors stayed shut. Clients have been welcomed back into the store since June 22, although a table bars anyone from stepping in more than 10 feet.
