"Victory Gardens" for the war against COVID-19 - CBS News

Gardens produced nearly 40 percent of the nation's fruits and vegetables. The goals today aren't quite as ambitious, but having a home garden still beats another trip to the grocery store.Kristina Nylander is a pediatrician who thought planting veggies might get her two daughters to eat more of them.  Smith asked her, "Are you guys spending more time out here in the garden?""We definitely have a lot more time to be in the garden!" Nylander replied. But in the end, it's not just about the food. With all the watering and the weeding, your own COVID-19 Victory Garden can produce what might be the most valuable commodity of all these days:  escape. Smith asked Roger's Gardens' Ron Vanderhoff, "It sounds like in this time of so much negative news, this could be one of the little positives to come out of it?""We wanna be a happy place where we're providing food and a little bit of distraction," he replied. "But we also want a person's garden to be their happy place where they can do the same. So yeah, happy places are really important right now." Planting vegetables in a 2020 "victory garden."

Cleveland Florist's Public Flower Installations Bring Joy - Clevelandmagazine.com

He contacted his flower provider Mayesh Wholesale Florist, which is on hiatus until April with the rest of its industry and willingly donated to the cause.His first installation, a big green garland over the Cleveland sign in Tremont, went up last week, but was quickly taken down by local authorities. On March 20, he put up his second installation, decorating the Cleveland sign at Edgewater Park with pre-cut bouquets and encouraging visitors to take some flowers home with them. “Flowers have always given me so much joy, and I specifically use the word joy instead of happiness because it’s a feeling and emotion that is contagious,” he says. “It’s so easy to fall down that dark hole right now with these scary times, but I want to send the message that joy prevails.”With events being canceled left and right, Poulson's own future is uncertain, he says. But for now, he’s going to keep busy by building another installation for a location to be determined on Monday. “It’s still spring,” he says. “The birds are chirping, the grass is greening and I hope these colors and textures can put a smile on someone’s face.”... https://clevelandmagazine.com/in-the-cle/cleveland-florist-s-public-flower-installations-bring-joy
