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

An example of the arrangements Three Little Buds Flowers offers. / Photo courtesy Joanna Webb“Last year, I took flowers to Tammy’s Bridal and Floral in Elkins and JoJo’s in Elkins, but this year I have been too busy in Buckhannon to even think about taking flowers to Elkins,” she said. “That is a good problem.”Some of the flowers Webb grows – she said she starts cultivating her crop in the spring – are those typically not found in a supermarket bouquet and include specialty tulips, anemones and Ranunculus.“I get into flowers like Snapdragons, feverfew, Sweet William, specialty varieties of black-eyed Susans, Rudbeckia, yarrow, Statice, Veronica, Calendula, basils as fillers, Zinnias, Cosmos, sunflowers and more,” she said. “I am trying to get flowers for all seasons to make bouquets with.”She said she chose these because flowers in supermarket bouquets are shipped in from other countries and travel far distances, meaning they don’t always have much of pleasing scent.“I am trying to grow unique heirloom varieties that people will love,” Webb said. “Another advantage is that they are cut the day you get them, so they last much longer than those you would purchase in a supermarket, which are cut a long time prior to being shipped.Aside from selling to Anita’s Flowers, Webb said she sells groups of flowers similar to those people purchase in grocery stores, wrapped in brown paper.“Some people just need a treat: They need to treat a loved one or need a pick-me-up,” Webb said.She said when she was younger, her grandmother and aunt always had gardens, which was an inspiration for her to grow her beautiful blossoms.“I don’t particularly remember it being flowers,” she said. “They just liked to grow things and when my husband and I moved back to Buckhannon in 2012, we planted a garden. When I planted flowers, they just brought me so much joy, and I loved cutting them and giving them to my mom and sharing them with people.”Webb said she feels there is a movement centered on purchasing local products these days – for example, with farm-to-table foods.“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 Buckha... https://www.mybuckhannon.com/business-at-local-flower-grower-three-little-buds-is-blooming/

Here’s your guide to preserving and crafting with flowers straight from your garden - OregonLive

Working from her home studio in Hillsboro, Eliades said having this business during the pandemic has helped her to push her creative boundaries.Anyone can craft with plants, however, and florist Jeremi Carroll and farmer John Peterson said a good place to start is just by looking around your garden.“See what you have. What aesthetic do you want? What are you trying to build?” Peterson said. “See what textures you might want to incorporate into whatever you’re making.”Owners of Pollinate Flowers in Newberg, Carroll and Peterson started a dry flower program at their shop last year. They create arrangements and wreaths made from flowers they grow and dry on their farm, and even sell wreath kits at their retail shop.Carroll said that you can dry anything, but some flowers are just naturally easier to work with than others. Roses, yarrow, statice, Gomphrena, amaranth, marigold, hydrangea, grass seed heads, feverfew, celosia and strawflower are all varieties that are considered dry when they’re alive, he said, so they will dry easily and hold their shape well.“They already have a crispy texture to petals, so when they dry they don’t change structure or color,” he explained.24Dried flower craftsThere are multiple ways to dry flowers, but the three most common methods are hanging upside down, using silica gel and pressing. Carroll said the traditional way is to bunch flowers together and hang them upside down in a dry and dark space. He recommended drying them in the house away from a window, where humidity is low.That method works for many flowers and grasses, but for daisy-like flowers, such as black-eyed Susans, drying works better with the petals and center of flower drying face-up, Carroll said. When they hang, the gravity will close up the petals around the center, so Carroll recommended dr... https://www.oregonlive.com/hg/2021/03/heres-your-guide-to-preserving-and-crafting-with-flowers-straight-from-your-garden.html

Pasadena florist: Orders reflect people’s isolation in pandemic - Houston Chronicle

After more than 30 years in the floral business, the owner of The Enchanted Florist in Pasadena says she has always taken the meaning behind a flower arrangement to heart, whether it is celebratory and hopeful, grieving or regretful. This year, those messages and greetings have been influenced by a pandemic that has kept loved ones from attending funeral and memorial services, weddings and birthday gatherings. “It seems like the notes on the cards are longer these days,” she said. “People try to get what they’re feeling all in one order.” On HoustonChronicle.com: Houston, Harris County deploy new strategies in effort to boost COVID-19 vaccinations The Enchanted Florist has operated via no-contact curbside delivery or by appointment only.

Have You Spotted the Giant Floral Displays Popping Up Around the City? - Pittsburgh Magazine

A mother of three boys who previously worked for Tommy Hilfiger and Dolce & Gabbana, Dickson says she came up with the idea for the installations after seeing florist Lewis Miller Design’s “Flower Flash” project in New York City. In February, she installed her first display, wrapping garlands of flowers around the columns of Shadyside’s Family House — which provides a “home away from home” for patients and their families seeking medical treatment in Pittsburgh. “To all of the healthcare workers and all of the patients and their families, this one’s for you!” Dickson wrote on Instagram of the project. Later that month, she spruced up her hometown area, coating a light pole and corner on Brilliant Avenue in Aspinwall with flowers. In early March, she struck again, creating an enormous bouquet atop a recycling bin on Penn Avenue and 21st Street in the Strip District. Beside the display, she used sidewalk chalk to quote French artist Henri Matisse’s famous line, “There are always flowers for those who want to see them.” Dickson told the Post-Gazette the recycling can project was particularly inspired because the already-cut flowers — from supplier BW Wholesale Florist in the Strip District — would have been thrown away had she not repurposed them. If you missed any of the installations, your chances of catching one have not wilted. The pop-up displays will continue to sprout up across the city, possibly through April, Dickson says — and suggestions as to where are welcome.
