Dec 29, 2017The Flower Bar: flowers, coffee, pastries and more
Flower Bar certainly sells flowers, but also offers specialty coffees, baked goods and unusual gift items.Located at the northeast corner of Pontiac Trail and North Territorial, a few miles south of the Salem-South Lyon District Library, the Flower Bar is a family business. Parents Laura and Brett Huey are the owners, working with daughter Celia and also getting some help from Laura's sister, Jill Paul of Livonia."Originally, there was a lady who lived here. She was handicapped and sold flowers. Members of the community came here to support her," Laura Huey said. "I drove by one day. She had closed due to health issues."The Flower Bar offers flowers, coffee, baked goods and gifts at the corner of Pontiac Trail and N. Territorial. (Photo: LeAnne Rogers)While working at a florist in downtown Plymouth, Laura Huey had the idea to open a florist shop at the building. "Then I thought maybe flowers wouldn't be enough, so we added what we like," she said. "It took us almost three years to the day to get the work done on the building. We did a lot of it ourselves."More: Call to South Lyon police finds problem is a sleepy dadMore: That cup of coffee may help give this family a better ChristmasMore: South Lyon Hotel reopens after rebuilding from massive fir...

Mar 2, 2017Roses: Getting the most bloom for your buck, and three ways to make them last longer
Check the video player above to see the roses and how they fared.Caring for your rosesWe went to Goldner Walsh Garden & Home in Pontiac to find out the best way to care for roses. The business has been around for 63 years. Tim Travis is the owner.“To get the most absorption, always just cut them at an angle because that gives more surface area for the water to be absorbed into the stem,” Travis says.Travis says use the food packet provided, because it has antibacterial agents and preservatives. And after a week, he suggests cutting them again.“Don’t put them in direct sun and put them in an area that’s away from drafty windows and heat vents,” he explains. “That will prevent them from drying out prematurely."If you buy flowers for someone from one of those national website, Travis says those orders are often filled by local florists. But here’s what you may not know. The local florist only gets a fraction of what you pay. The online retailers get the majority. So if you’d rather your support a local florist, find one and place a call directly to it. (WXYZ)
Feb 23, 2017Gardening for the Record: Kitchen scraps lead to adventurous ...
July to August.At The Learning Fields’ demonstration vegetable garden, Master Gardeners plan to grow Yukon Gold, Pontiac Red and a blue or purple variety.According to chairperson Mary Smith, here’s the team’s planting method: First they will cut the large seed potatoes, making sure each section has a couple of eyes. Then they will let them dry out — sprinkling powdered sulfur helps. “Once the seed potatoes are ready, we make our furrows by hand and try to plant the seeds deep and then hill up the row. Even if they freeze back, they are tough and will come right back.”This year, they are experimenting with a different method on a few of the potatoes. “We will plant on top of the soil and cover with straw. Although this is not new, many of our team has never used this method. Once harvesting begins, we can compare methods to see which produces the most potatoes,” Mary added.Especially enjoyable for these potato growers is digging them and “seeing the pretty tubers — especially the blue ones.”The latest National Gardening newsletter offers a tip for early harvest by forcing the eyes to sprout a few weeks before planting, thereby shortening the growing period. Here’s how:Sprout the seed potatoes a couple of weeks before planting by spreading them in a single layer in an area that gets some sun and a constant temp of 60 degrees Fahrenheit or above. The potatoes will develop short green sprouts, rather than the long white sprouts produced in the dark.Because the potatoes turn green, this sprouting process is called "greening." Green potatoes aren't good to eat, but once planted the crop will be fine. At planting time, cut the potatoes as usual and plant the seed pieces as usual, taking care not to break the tiny sprouts.Although Mary was unaware of this method, she may use it this spring.Gardeners who grow potatoes have their own methods that work well and their own favorite varieties. Complete instructions for planting and growing Irish potatoes are available at www.uaex.edu/publications/pdf/fsa-6016.pdf for first timers.Harvesting comes after most of the vines have died; however, “new potatoes” — those used in early summer — are dug before the vines die (usually June-July).Some useful questions and Dr. Andersen’s answers in a University of Arkansas Fact Sheet on Irish Potatoes include:• Can I save some of my potatoes for seed potatoes? No. Saving your own potatoes can lead to a buildup of viruses and diseases.• What causes green skins? The green areas develop where the potato was exposed to sun. This occurs when potatoes are not planted deep enough or not covered with straw. The green portions taste bitter.• Can I save small potatoes from my spring crop for planting in the fall? Yes.• Can I eat seed potatoes left over from my spring garden? No. They may have been chemically treated. Like all treated seeds, seed potatoes should not be fed to humans or animals.Next week, the topic will be the air potato — another sister-in-law passalong plant.Lucy Fry of Fort Smith is a level 4 Master Gardener and writes the area Master Gardener newsletter.

Aug 29, 201670-year-old Wesley Berry Flowers closing local company-owned stores
Schoolcraft Avenue near Greenfield Road on Detroit's west side, and its Commerce Township location on Haggerty Road north of Pontiac Trail had been shuttered.
Baker said he has orders placed at the downtown Detroit store for events taking place the next three weekends. As it winds down, the store also continues to fill small walk-in orders.
Wesley Berry's corporate leadership informed him it was closing some of its stores last week, without giving any reason for the closure, he said.
"It was a surprise; I didn't see it coming."
The company took all of its equipment from the Penobscot Building shop, including computers and a fax machine, last week, Baker said, and it disconnected the phone line for the store.
Signs on the Detroit store's windows let customers know the shop is operating on a cash-only basis now.
The lone Wesley Berry franchised store left, in Canton Township, was still operating last week. Its owner declined any comment.
Under the Wesley Berry Flowers name, the combined brick-and-mortar and online businesses ranked No. 1,755 on Inc.'s 2014 list of the 5,000 fastest-growing companies in the U.S., with $40.2 million in reported revenue for 2013, up from $11.9 million in 2010.
Wesley Berry Florist Inc. sold its first franchise about 30 years ago. It went on to establish 30 franchises across five states before selling most of them in the 1990s and launching an e-commerce business in 1994.
As of June 2015, Wesley Berry Flowers' Michigan operations and online business employed 100 people in Michigan and 50 at a call center in the Philippines, owner and CEO Wesley Berry II told Crain's at the time.
At that point, he said the companies were dealing with 5,000 to 6,000 customers each day, either placing orders or receiving flowers through the company from online orders. Several hundred of those orders came from other countries, Berry said, noting his companies work closely with 1-800-Flowers.com Inc. and Florists' Transworld Delivery through FTD.com.
Amid it all, consumer complaints about the service and products delivered by FlowerDeliveryExpress.com and Wesley Berry ramped up online. In May, the Better Busine... (Crain's Detroit Business)
