Charlotte's Florals trucks in 'happiness' bouquets - Herald & Tribune

Charlotte’s Florals, the mobile flower shop that’s likely to be seen at farmers markets or downtown events anywhere between Johnson City, Bristol and Kingsport, has been rolling up to customers since 2015. But for owner and operator Charlotte Julian, the flower truck business was a way to fulfill a childhood vision — and offer a little happiness to roadside flower lovers. “I think from an early age I sort of had this entrepreneurial spirit,” Julian said. “I knew I wanted to have my own business of some sort. I knew I had a creative side. I just didn’t really know what that looked like. So when this opportunity came available, I kind of just hit the ground running.” One of the first steps in creating Charlotte’s Florals was finding the perfect truck for the task; once Julian found her iconic, white, Ford van from the ‘60s to tote the array of flowers from town to town, she knew she was ready to catch the attention of bystanders. “We really wanted to find a truck that would really catch the eye and I think we succeed in that,” she said. “We found a truck on Craigslist and went and got it in Ohio. We got it up and running and went from there.” When Julian parks her white flower truck at an event, customers get the chance to create their own bouquets or simply choose a couple of flowers from the selection. A guest can choose as many or as few flowers as they wish or they can even allow Julian to put her creativity to work. “I get a lot of guys who need my help and are buying a bouquet for someone,” Julian said. “I like to challen...

It’s the largest garden in Kingsport, with 84 raised beds tended/owned by two churches, the Social Security Office, Habitat, Lowe’s, and other groups and individuals.”But planting and nurturing gardens are not the only things Master Gardeners do.

Sewell remembered for connection to children he helped

Monday. He was a 1979 graduate of Science Hill High School and attended Bristol College. He worked for 29 years for the Elizabethton and Johnson City Boys & Girls Club and had served on several civic organizations in Johnson City and Elizabethton. He also worked at the Unicoi County YMCA. Spokespersons at all three agencies said Sewell made a huge impact on kids in their programs, and he’ll be greatly missed. “Eric worked at the Johnson City Boys and Girls Club for many years and was very active in programming, taking the kids to camp, mentoring and just different things,” said Robin Crumley, president and CEO of the organization. “Eric liked to be around kids, he liked to play and have fun, but with dignity and discipline. He was very much a kid at heart,” she said. “He was a key person in the lives of many youth in this community.” Crumley, like others who spoke about him Thursday, said they heard through the grapevine or social media about Sewell’s passing. “For the staff here who knew Eric, it was a shock,” Crumley said. She’s also contacted people who now live away from the Tri-Cities but knew Sewell about his death. Joe Ebarb, director of the Unicoi County YMCA, said after he took his current position in 2012, he hired Sewell to help run the agency’s programs. “Programs are my strong point, but I needed someone with experience to run the program,” Ebarb said, and Sewell, who had a special knack for communicating with kids, was that per...
