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/

'Always in Bloom,' flowers 'Blossom' for moms, 'Eden' during a pandemic - Sippican Week

Mother’s Day is fast approaching, and though families can’t go to brunch or and may have to stay six feet apart at the park, florists are still making sure that residents can buy flowers, even if they don’t come look at them.Sharon Monteiro, owner of Always in Bloom in Marion, said that although she has lost business with cancellations and postponements of proms, graduations and weddings, the flowers have never been more vibrant and business has been steady because of the holiday.“Without the world moving, mother nature is outdoing herself,” said Monteiro who said she has noticed the impact of less pollution. The owner is allowing one to two people in her shop at a time, but has noticed an increase in online orders, curbside pickup and delivery. Eden’s florist and garden shop further down the road in Marion has taken a similar approach with customers. Owner Esmeralda Braga said she doesn’t require customers to sign for card payments to keep contact to a minimum.To help further keep contact to a minimum, she took inspiration from a customer and now sells bouquets at the Marion General Store.
