Free Flowers Spread Kindness - Spectrum News

Getting something for nothing is rare. One flower shop in downtown Ithaca is giving away bouquets of flowers today, at no cost.“It's an especially fun day at work,” said Jessica Snyder, a Bool’s Employee. Instead of giving people flowers in exchange for money, they’re giving out flowers for smiles. “Flowers always make people smile, regardless of if it's a happy occasion or a sad occasion,” said Doreen Culver-Foss, owner of Bool’s Flower Shop. Baskets filled with bouquets were given out as part of a kindness initiative called Petal It Forward. “Petal it forward, which is a great idea to make people smile, and I've had a hard week, so this is just what I needed,” said Abby Tyler, a bouquet recipient. “It’s really nice to be able to walk up to people and surprise them with flowers,” said Snyder. The shop is giving out at least 125 bouquets to celebrate the shop’s 125 years in business; one to keep, and one to give away to someone else. “Because everybody deserves kindness, everybody,” said Snyder. The Society of American Florists says statistics show 8...

Commentary: Like flowers, people bloom at different times

It’s difficult not to get discouraged by the intensity of students at Ithaca College.I entered Ithaca as an exploratory major before declaring IMC. I took a wide variety of classes, from poetryto codingto film courses. I built new skills, and improved my existing ones. I never even recognized improvement in myself because I was too busy measuring my growth by grades, often feeling like I fell short. To clarify, I am extremely proud of my friends. At age 20 they have already done incredible things with their careers. From going to the Olympics with NBCto working New York Fashion Week, they’ve begun their professional escapades. Still, I can’t help but freak out when I look at their achievements and worry that I’m somehow behind.The reality is, I’m not behind at all. Park is fast-paced and celebrates achievements. Park also falls short of reassuring their students that success comes in many shapes and sizes. The standardization of the school system is beginning to leave out room for differences. Four years of high school prepare you for taking standardized tests that decide where you go to college. Four years of college prepare you for real life. Internships are praised as an essential to the recipe, and synchronous “growth” is practically encouraged. We are pushed to graduate between 21 and 23. It all goes by in the blink of an eye, leaving no time to slow down and enjoy the ride.I have been trying to take a step back lately and remind myself that I am a part of a bigger garden of success. In the fall I took Intro to Strategic Communications. At the end of the semester, my professor asked to use my groups final written proposal as a future example. It reassured me that I was successful not just in my major, but in my own creativity, and most importantly my potential to grow and succeed in the future. I look at myself three or four years ago and recognize that, when it comes down to it, I am a completely different person. I am changing; I am growing. Just because I refuse for my life to be standardized does not mean I am not growing. My success can be measured through achieving my own personal goals, not just the ones created for me. I celebrate that my friends have achieved what they have achieved, but I also need to learn to celebrate my own achievements without comparing them. Afterall, growth of a different nature is still growth.

The Commons: Beautiful flowers and... kale?

It’s kind of funny here in ‘will work for kale Ithaca.’”In the treacherous stretch of concrete at the base of East State Street, a small, tranquil triangle wedged between two humming thoroughfares buzzes with life as honey bees flit from flower to flower and volunteers from the Beautification Brigade – the team of volunteer gardeners Gioumousis oversees – bend over the soil, hard at work. This is the group that, starting every April since 2002, has been responsible for planting and maintaining the flowers and shrubs that keep the parks, sidewalks and intersections of Ithaca full of life and color. They choose bold colors – oranges and yellows – over purples and whites, situating each group of plants according to location: shaded triangles get different themes and species than others. The Aurora Triangle, just off the Commons has yellow Marigolds, purple Salvia and Nepeta; the State Triangle, just down the way, a mix of Zinnias, sunflowers and various types of shrubbery. For 15 years, their mission was purely aesthetic and for the most part, still is. But this year, they decided to do something a little different.In the summer of 2016 the kale was, for the most part, an edible joke. However, there was a teachable moment sort of inherent in the joke: people could pluck a leaf from this garden on the Commons and, if they chose to do so, eat it. The thought was, by offering free kale, the Beautification Brigade could offer a teaching moment through people’s stomachs; that urban horticulture could be viable and delicious. Except they didn’t promote it and the i... (ithaca.com)
