Dec 10, 2020Local organization Blossom Buddies provides cards with a side of smiles - Los Altos Town Crier
I’ve heard from a number of the volunteers that they really liked doing the coloring of the cards,” said volunteer Michele Conway, who helped with drawing the card designs. “Sheela (Veerina, founder of Blossom Buddies) has also said that it’s been able to keep our group going because we have something to do.”
Because hospitals aren’t permitting volunteers during the pandemic, Veerina drops off greeting cards instead. The cards sit at the facilities for a few days to make sure they are free from COVID-19 before being handed out to patients.
Veerina said the cards – which include uplifting messages such as “May this card brighten your day” – have been a hit.
“(The cards have been) getting great feedback from the facilities,” she said. “They’re really happy to get something for them to look at because they’re not able to access even their families.”
Creative outlet
According to volunteer Karen Smith, Blossom Buddies turned to greeting cards after putting together 500 face shields at the beginning of the pandemic. In July, they delivered 200 handmade cards to Stanford Hospital.
“What we have been doing is ... just little thinking-of-you colorful cards with flowers on them,” volunteer Debbie Kundrat said, “and some people are super artistic, so they’re painting and they’re doing collages and all kinds of things.”
The cards are intended to make a similar impact on patients as the flowers have in recent years. The flowers were donated by stores and picked up by volunteers, who then assembled them into bouquets.
What started in Veerina’s garage in 2018 has, well, blossomed. The group has made m...
Sep 7, 2020Zoning board OK's U-pick flower farm with historic barn turned wedding venue - The Star Press
Seth Slabaugh
Muncie Star PressPublished 7:00 AM EDT Sep 7, 2020OAKVILLE, Ind. — In 2016, Vick and Christa Conway were thinking about tearing down the 19th century horse barn behind their historic home in the country.Evidently built in 1863, the barn in southern Delaware County had fallen into disrepair and become a catchall for a variety of things.But their son Garrett wanted to save it and ended up doing a lot of the work to make it a suitable place for his high school graduation open house. It also became a hangout for him and other kids.Today, with the approval of a zoning variance by the Metropolitan Board of Zoning Appeals, the barn is being used as the retail store for the family's Barnside Bloom and Events business — a U-pick flower farm and rustic venue for weddings and other celebrations.Barnside Bloom is one of two variances authorized by the BZA this summer to allow event-venue businesses in barns. A variance for a third barn to become a wedding venue was denied; it was located in an area with closer neighbors than the other two barns.Several other rural event centers, including...
Jun 19, 2020New Hampshire florists see demand bloom despite event cancellations - New Hampshire Business Review
In March, “If we got one or two orders a day, we felt lucky,” said Jordan Hewson, owner of Designed Gardens Flower Studio in North Conway.
But then Mother’s Day hit and many florists found they couldn’t keep up with demand.
“It was unbelievable,” Hewson said. “I had to shut down my website because I couldn’t take a single more order.”
Up to 75% of businesses polled by The Society of American Florists reported increased sales on Mother’s Day this year, despite the pandemic, according to a press release published May 21.
“We’re really encouraged to see that spending increased, despite the many potential obstacles – financial, logistical – that could have driven floral spending on gifts downward,” said Society of American Florists (SAF) CEO Kate Penn.
Shirley Wrenn of Shirley’s Flowers and Sweets in Nashua recently added a third vehicle to keep up with demand. “We have been crazy, crazy, crazy,” she said, with Mother’s Day orders extending two weeks beyond May 10.
Mood elevators
Amid a backdrop of chaos and sorrow, sending floral arrangements with pops of color is a simple way for cooped-up friends to express support and solidarity as they adjust to the norms of social distancing.
Flowers are natural mood elevators, a fact that behavioral research from Rutgers University in New Jersey confirms. The study measured participants’ reactions to gifts of flowers against gifts of candles or ...
Oct 10, 2019REX NELSON: Selling flowers since 1886 - NWAOnline
It was remodeled in 2009. There are additional stores at Baptist Medical Center in Little Rock and in North Little Rock, Pine Bluff and Conway. Even though Tipton & Hurst is recognized as one of the largest florists in the country, only about half of its sales come from flowers. Various gifts and accessories make up the additional sales.
"We provide customers with whatever they need," Hurst says. "We don't want them to go to different places."
Hurst's grandmother, a Little Rock native who was much younger than her husband, ran the company at a time when it was unusual for women to operate businesses. Hurst's father, Joe Hurst Jr., entered the University of Arkansas in 1939, joined the U.S. Army Air Forces at the start of World War II, and never graduated.
"My grandmother died in 1945, and my father had to take over," Hurst says. "When I was a boy, we often would stop by an event that Tipton & Hurst was handling and help put out arrangements before going to dinner or whatever. I've never gotten a check from another employer. I remember going to the train station with my father to pick up flowers from the Railway Express Agency offices."
Howard Hurst earned a business degree from the University of Arkansas and returned to Little Rock to work for his father. He was promoted to company president when he was 26 and his father was 65. Hurst's father lived to age 89 and continued to show up at Tipton & Hurst.
"We went to lunch almost every day," Hurst says. "He might not recognize the Internet world in which we now live. We've tried to keep up with the times with website updates that make it easy to place online orders."
Chris Norwood, the company's vice president, is an internationally known designer. He has been president of the American Institute of Floral Designers and is past chairman of the AIFD Foundation. Norwood, a McCrory native, began designing floral arrangements when he was 14. He moved to the capital city at age 17 to attend the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and worked at Friday's Flowers & Gifts. Norwood graduated in 1982 and later owned two shops, Petals and Crocus.
"My father farmed, and I hated farming," Norwood says. "I knew how to chop cotton, but I preferred the floral work. When I was 19, I became the youngest competitor in the America's Cup design competition. I came to Tipton & Hurst in 1990. Howard had been calling for three years, and I finally gave in."
"I recognized Chris' design and merchandising talents early in his career," Hurst says. "What I didn't know was his incredible work ethic and business acumen."
Norwood says Hurst allowed him to "try things and integrate new ideas into the business. What we have built is a mix of old and new."
Hurst says people from "New York to Los Angeles, Dallas to Atlanta, even Europe and Asia, call Chris to pick his brain about floral design, party planning and merchandising. He has really made his mark on the industry."
In 2012, Norwood was named a Fellow of the Institute by AIFD, among the youngest people ever to receive the honor. Norwood conducts design workshops and makes regular television appearances.
"We take pride in the interactions we have with our customers," he says. "We try to be there for them at every stage of their lives. It's not just a...
Jul 26, 2019Local flower shop remains family owned after 50 years - Progresstimes
City Flower Shop provides flowers to Junior’s Supermarket, Walmart, HEB, and funeral homes, Gloria said. Located at 100 S Conway Ave., carries all different types of cut flowers from carnations to roses and even offers bears, chocolates and floral arrangements for homes and funerals, which Gloria said make up 60 percent of their business.
The shop was among the first vendors in the Valley that sold flowers in a traveling thermal truck driven by Hilda’s husband, Pablo S. Guerra.
“It grew to three trucks that delivered and sold flowers from Laredo to South Padre Island, and then my mom got sick and passed away from a stroke in 2004 when she was 66,” Gloria said. “My sister, Dora, and I kept operating it with me taking over the wholesale side of the business and Dora taking over the flower shop. Then Dora passed away from cancer in 2010 when she was 51.”
With Pablo stepping down from fully working at the store due to his health, Gloria became the sole remaining family member running the shop and decided to close the wholesale side of City Flower Shop.
“Then people started coming here, looking for us hoping to buy flowers,” Gloria said. We received encouragement from the community to keep the wholesale side alive. That’s when I started pushing the kids to start coming here.”
As a family business, all the employees at City Flower shop are relatives of Gloria. These include Gloria’s son-Jonathon-who graduated from Mission High School in 2017 and took over the wholesale business.
Three of Gloria’s nieces also work at the shop, she said.
“With Jonathan at the wholesale section, sales have been increasing. I am very proud of the work he and his cousins are putting into the store,” Gloria said. “I have a 15-year-old niece who comes straight here after school to mop and sweep. That’s how I started here. We are teaching them the valu...
