Florists 'bomb' Philly mailboxes for 2020 election ballots - WHYY

Love is both a farmer and florist. She grows everything she uses on a five-acre, certified natural farm in Roxborough. The bread and butter of her business had been weddings, but that dried up this year. Last April, her prospects were dire. Over the summer she launched a flower delivery service where people can pre-order a box of flowers and have it delivered weekly to their door. Called Porch Petals, Love keeps the delivery radius tight – she only services Philadelphia’s Northwest neighborhoods near her farm. To her surprise, it worked. Porch Petals caught on and saved her business. Floral designer Diane Floss (left) and Jennie Love of Love and Fresh Flowers decorated the mailbox at Germantown Avenue and Bethlehem Pike with a rainbow of flowers for the United by Blooms event. (Emma Lee/WHYY) “Porch Petals is a COVID pivot, but it proves our community here in Chestnut Hill and Mt. Airy – they are phenomenal. I would start weeping if I think about it too much,” she said. “This community saved our farm.” Love is fortunate that she is both a grower and an arranger: she supplies herself. Other florists who rely on shipped flowers have fared much worse as international supply chains have broken down during the global pandemic. Flowers, after all, cannot sit in warehouses. United By Blooms is ostensibly a get-out-the-vote campaign addressing anxieties about voting by mail and the tenuous financial position of the Postal Service. Love says, “I don’t have answers to any of that.” More important to her is that this floral arrangement be a love letter to the community that proves, even during a pandemic, flow...

Love and flowers; perfect match for Hill urban pioneer

In the nine years since she planted her first seeds on two acres of leased land in Upper Roxborough, Love has catapulted to national attention for her wedding floral designs and her efforts to promote sustainable local farming.Earlier this month she finalized the purchase of four adjacent acres on which she plans to expand her yield. Frequently described as “fresh,” “unique,” “textural,” “lush” and ”unexpected,” Love’s floral stylings are like a boozy cocktail party where each lovely variety vies for your attention, and the wallflowers provide the necessary backdrop.“It’s been a really good journey,” the 30-something (she declined to disclose her exact age) admits, “but it’s a lot of hard work and a complex business that I run … It’s a strategic game.”Raised on a dairy farm in Central Pennsylvania, Love planted her first flower patch at age 4 — nasturtiums — in her mother’s kitchen garden. “Farming gets in your blood,” she confessed.Jennie Love, of Chestnut Hill, has catapulted to national attention for her wedding floral designs and her efforts to promote sustainable local farming.Yet when it was time to go to college, she couldn’t wait to flee. She attended Muhlenberg College in Allentown, majoring in communications and comparative world literature. For nearly a decade afterwards she toiled as a writer in corporate jobs. “I dreamed of wearing high heels and suits for some reason,” she said.Then when the grind soured, she yearned to get her “hands in the dirt.” She began volunteering at the Weavers Way farm near Awbury Arboretum in Germantown. She became a ”farm groupie” who would rush home to work in the fields until the sun went down. She convinced Weavers Way farm staff to grow flowers and sell their yields at the Headhouse Farmers Market in Center City. She also dreamed of beginning her own flower farm and enrolled in a two-year program at Longwood Gardens to study “the science of flowers.”In 2009, the year she collected her first yield, she was hired to create flower bouquets and arrangements for her f...

Where to see spring flowers in Colorado

Early- to mid-April Location: Littleton; esp. Prince St, W. Lake Ave, S. Elati St. Types of flowers: Crabapple trees More: http://bit.ly/1D19Vsj Roxborough State Park From a challenging 6.4-mile trek to an easy half-mile loop, the park offers trails for trips of any length. Although it's close to Denver, the 3,245-acres of natural land can easily make you feel much farther away. It's known as a transition zone, or an area where the environment transitions from the plains to the mountains and therefore in a couple feet you can see wildflowers you normally find miles apart. Try the Willow Creek Trail, a gentle 1.4 mile loop known for its flowers and red rock formations. A daily pass into the park is $7 per vehicle. Roxborough State Park (Photo: Wikipedia) Best time to see blooms: Early May - June Location: US-85 S from Denver to Titan Rd Types of flowers: Violet, larkspur, poppy, orchid, lily, paintbrush, lupine, prairie flower, gilia, etc. More: http://bit.ly/1NhSY4V Lory State Park Northwest of Fort Collins, the park includes 20 miles of flower-lined trails for every type of hiker. Try the Well Gulch nature trail, an easy 1.4 mile walking loop that is a great way to see wildflowers as well as other wetland vegetation, wildlife, and hundreds of butterflies; or Arthur's Rock Trail, where you weave in and out of open meadows filled with colorful blooms and rock formations. You can pick up a brochure at the trailhead or visitor's center that will help identify some of what you see as you walk along the routes. Day passes for the state park are $7 per vehicle. Lory State Park (Photo: Colorado Parks and Wildlife) Best time to see blooms: Mid-June Location: Lory State Park; US-287 north to County Road 54G Types of flowers: 5-dozen varieties of wildflowers including violet, chickweed, bluebell, buttercup, etc. More: http://bit.ly/1kafYSx Crested Butte Since it's known as the "wildflower capital of Colorado," you should probably go to Crested Butte if you want to fully experience Colorado's wildflower season.
