Moon flowers, a romantic Ocean Beach garden, the Monterey cypress - San Diego Reader

That's when its true capacity is revealed to you, its power to entwine, suffocate, merge, and topple. Wisteria can break concrete or strangle a tree. By Laura McNeal, Jan. 30, 1997 Read full article Adblock test a href="https://blockads.fivefilters...

If a sunflower blooms in a city, does it make a difference? - Columbia Chronicle

Michele Hoffman-Trotter, adjunct faculty member in the Science and Mathematics Department. In Chicago, groups such as Chicago Eco House, 6439 S. Peoria St., are using urban agriculture to beautify neighborhoods while educating residents. When living in an urban environment, it can be easy to disconnect from Mother Nature, said Quilen Blackwell, president of Chicago Eco House. Because of this, the group is there to establish a new connection between human beings and nature by turning vacant lots into 100% sustainable flower farms. “The industry in the United States is pretty small for flowers; about 80% of the flowers that you see at the market come from overseas,” Blackwell said. “Very few urban flower farmers are located within the city.” Despite this, McHugh believes Chicago is a great place for urban agriculture. “Unlike New York City or Los Angeles, we are situated in the middle of some of the most productive agriculture in the world, some of the finest soils, even though they have been degraded in the city,” McHugh said. This year a miscommunication between McHugh and an equipment operator who was taking care of the flowers resulted in the sunflowers accidentally being cut down before they had time to bloom in late August. Sunflowers are native to Chicago and able to endure rough conditions but can harm pollinators, such as bees and grasshoppers looking for nectar, when cut down before it is time to harvest them, Hoffman-Trotter said. “If you cut them down before they have the chance to go to flower, it is going to deprive all those pollinator species of the nectar that they depend on,” Hoffman-Trotter said. Even though it is only Sunflower City’s third year of operation and the sunflowers were cut earlier than expected, McHugh hopes these seasonal flowers will bloom again next year to bring joy and sustainability to the Washington Park area. “When something beautiful is within one’s own neighborhood, that is shown to have a different effect from when that same natural beauty is halfway across town,” McHugh said.

Leesburg Approves Bird, Flower Mural Project On Harrison Street - Leesburg, VA Patch

LEESBURG, VA — The Leesburg Town Council approved a resolution to brighten a concrete retaining wall on Harrison Street just south of Market Station. Artist Elizabeth Halliday will paint a mural on the wall that shows birds and flowers that are native to Northern Virginia. The retaining wall is on Harrison Street between South Street and the W&OD Trail in downtown Leesburg. Halliday submitted the mural proposal to the Leesburg Commission on Public Art. The Town Council voted 4 to 2 on July 14 to approve the mural project. The retaining wall is in the public right-of-way adjacent to homes along Harrison Street. "The work of the Commission on Public Art encourages and supports art to enhance Leesburg' s identity while demonstrating the value of art and creativity within the community," states the resolution passed by the town council. The project will take about two weeks to complete and will cover the entire Harrison Street wall, which measures 140-feet by 5.5-feet. The project is expected to cost $2,500. The Commission on Public Art voted to provide $1,000 of...

2020 Philadelphia Flower Show: Your ultimate guide to the whole blooming affair - pennlive.com

Read how the Flower Show is planned and builtThe Philadelphia Flower Show is known for its elaborate gardens, built inside on concrete while it's still winter outside. This one is from the 2019 show.What’s so special?The Philadelphia Flower Show is the world’s biggest and longest-running indoor flower show, drawing more than 250,000 visitors from the U.S. and abroad to this annual nine-day horticultural mecca.It’s been going on since 1829 when the fledging Pennsylvania Horticultural Society introduced the poinsettia to the American gardening public at its maiden show.The show also has twice won the International Festivals and Events Association’s award for best event worldwide, besting such other iconic events as the Kentucky Derby Festival, Pasadena’s Tournament of Roses Parade, and the Indianapolis 500 Festival.Besides raising some $1 million a year to support PHS’s greening efforts, the show generates about $65 million a year for Philadelphia’s economy (show-production jobs, hotel stays, restaurant meals, parking fees, etc.) and another $8 million in local, state, and federal tax revenues.Even non-gardeners go to appreciate the blooming beauty and summer-time scents of the tens of thousands of plants that have been greenhouse-cajoled into blooming on cue for showtime.See a photo gallery of vintage shots from the show’s pastPhiladelphia native Grace Kelly is shown with Clark Gable in the 1950s, left, and with the royal Monaco family in 1976.The Grace Kelly connectionThis year’s show pays homage to native daughter Grace Kelly, the Philadelphia-born actress who married Prince Rainier of Monaco in 1956, making her Princess Grace.Monaco is a small nation-state bordering the Mediterranean Sea in the French Riviera, surrounded on its other three flanks by France.Kelly was a starring film actress in the early 1950s and met the prince at a photo shoot he arranged during the 1955 Cannes Film Festival. She was Princess Grace of Monaco until 1982, when she died suddenly in a stroke-related car accident at the age of 52.The princess was also a plant-lover who founded the Garden Club of Monaco, wrote a gardening book (“My Book of Flowers” with Australian writer Gwen Robyns in 1980), and came back to Philadelphia to judge the floral competition at the 1976 Philadelphia Flower Show.Monaco’s U.S. embassy will pay tribute by sponsoring a Princess Grace Rose Garden at this year’s Philadelphia Flower Show.Its cente...

Where to find flowers at NYC restaurants, bars and coffee shops - Time Out

In this concrete city, the serendipity of coming across more colorful plants is something we're always yearning for. Il Fiorista Photograph: Courtesy of Il Fiorista This restaurant’s name translates to “The Florist” in Italian and is all about creative dishes that showcase flora as edible art on each plate. The evocative space features a mural by celebrated artist and graphic novelist, Leanne Shapton. To get through the restaurant, you’ll enter through the flower shop, where you’ll find handpicked locally-sourced flowers, led by the direction of Mindy Cardozo. Classes like a tutorial on edible flowers will be available in the events space as well. 17 W 26th St, New York, NY 10010 Soybean Chen Flower Shop Much like at our recently reviewed Fong On, Soybean Chen specializes in all things soy. Dishes like fresh douhua, a soft tofu pudding, gets hit with a little bit of ginger syrup as well as savory versions with chili oil—all priced under $5. You can order dishes from a street-front window or at a table near all the plants for sale. 135-26 Roosevelt Ave, Flushing, NY 11354 Cafe Erzulie / Flowers by Leslie According the cafe’s website, “Erzulie is the haitian voodou spirit of love, beauty, and dance.” Expect daily bites such as a baguette lathered with spicy Haitian peanut butter and apricot brittle, plantains stuffed with mushrooms. In addition, there’s live music, hangouts in the lush, verdant backyard, and lively conversation. As one of Bed-Stuy’s best day-date spots, it makes sense then, that you can even pick up flowers for your hunny at the attached floral shop called Flowers by Leslie. The florist, Rodridgo Reyes, has been in the area since 2000, and almost left the neighborhood. But Cafe Erzulie came up with an idea to combine Reyes’ shop with its offerings, expanding the joint feeling of community in both spaces. 894 Broadway,...
