Passover flowers arranged with love by Summit students - Canadian Jewish News

Floral arranging was introduced as a craft at TECC, which is located in downtown Montreal, by Vicki Surplice, a professional florist who arrived here from England a couple of years ago. It became so popular that working with flowers was incorporated into the school’s vocational training program, with classes given every day. By last September, the course had developed into an initiative called TECC Flora. Under Surplice’s guidance, the students, aged 16 to 21, began taking orders from the public. This is not fundraising; it’s a skill development program, with proceeds from sales going back into TECC Flora, which buys its supplies through three wholesalers, just as a commercial florist would, Surplice explained. Through word of mouth, many of the first clients came from the Jewish community, especially last Rosh Hashanah. Over the intervening months, TECC Flora has become an in-house business with the intention of operating year-round. It now has its own website, through which orders can be placed. READ: BLUE MET TO EXPLORE ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN CO-EXISTENCE Passover proved to be a bonanza for TECC Flora. The deadline for those orders was April 10, with a promise of delivery between April 17 and 19. To make things more efficient, several synagogues offered to be drop-off points, where clients, which included both individuals and institutions, could pick up their bouquets and plants. Nineteen-year-old Savannah, who asked that we only use her first name, said she immediately fell in love with the class. “I feel ...

Coral Springs Garden Club Members Grow Edible Forest

I can't believe that a Jewish girl from Montreal could envision a food forest and now it's actually here." When she gestures around, it's a lot to take in. There are robust circles of banana plants, papaya, jack fruit, giant clumps of Mexican sunflowers, lemon grass, and heart-shaped taro leaves framing coconut palms. The food forest has many fruits, vegetables and root systems that are hard to pronounce; hailing from places as far-flung as Asia, Hawaii and the Caribbean. "One day I found a man in army fatigues standing in the food forest, just staring and staring at the trees," Gulko reminisced, "he told me he's from the Dominican Republic and loves to visit this place because it reminds him of home." The gardens with benches and paths Compliments like these are owed to an able-bodied (and sometimes sweaty) team of garden club members and volunteers. The city pays for watering and donated the bigger trees. A local landscaping company drops off its mulch, which helps gardeners make rich and nutrient soil. Normally, they'd have to pay to do that, but in the food forest, it's a win-win. Boy scouts, Eagle Scouts the Daisies, and a Girl Scout troop, have all been instrumental in making shade houses, benches and gravel paths for the garden. Once, the Coral Springs Fire Department, performing a drill in the nearby lot, trained its hoses on the flower beds in good fun. Gulko said the garden is a great way to make the whole community feel more connected, boost morale. "After Hurricane Irma, most of our trees were down, and I remember looking up at the universe and saying ‘I'm done', and then out of nowhere the new rotary club president, Scott Jablon appeared and asked how he could help. They soon rebounded with help from Jablon and garden club members. Gulko, a mental health therapist, said studying the Earth's natural systems has made her a better psychologist. She loves to offer visitors a cool drink, and, if you're lucky, a shaving from a sugar cane plant. She's learned a lot about growing both food and drink. "I make my own teas from some of these trees," she said, and added that while she is most interested in the botanical aspects of gardening, it's different for everyone. img class="size-medium wp-ima...

Grieving families protest 'duplicitous' website that reposts death notices to sell flower deliveries

Its CEO is Paco Leclerc of Montreal, according to his LinkedIn page. Earlier this year, the parents of an Ontario child who died of cancer said they were "absolutely gutted" to see their son's obituary used in this way. Similar complaints in Newfoundland led to suggestions from a lawyer that the practice of copying text from published obituaries violates intellectual property law, just as much as if Everhere had cut and pasted a literary short story. The site offers the chance to post free messages of condolence, and it advertises flower deliveries through Bloomstoday, a florist based in Virginia that coordinates with local flower delivery services. In the new Alberta case, Rick Laursen, who works in health and safety in the oil industry, moved into his parents' house in Calgary recently to help when his father Erik, 83, was diagnosed with cancer. Erik's wife and Rick's mother Margaret, 92, has vascular related dementia, and would often ask about her husband. Rick would explain that he was very sick, but then she would forget and ask again. He found he was causing her fresh grief over and over again, multiple times a day. After consulting with her physician and an expert with the Alberta health system, he settled on a plan of telling her that Erik was tired and needed to rest. Rick recalled the doctor saying the "best you can do is tell her he's not here right now and eventually she will stop asking … You are causing her more harm than good by making her live (with) something she cannot process." She still does not know he died last week, and she did not attend the funeral on the weekend. She has never used a computer, so the online aspect did not bother Rick. He gave details to a local funeral home, but then a modified version appeared on Everhere.com: "Sadly, on July 4th, 2018, Erik Laursen of Calgary, Alberta left us for a better place. Family and friends can send flowers and condolences in memory of the loved one …" Much of the text had been copied wor...

Perry uses his cutting garden to create floral bouquets that he shares with others. He added a Montreal rose and a Quebec rose to his rose garden this year. One of his favorite flowers, the Mexican petunia, is flanked by Mexican heather and Mexican hat flowers. Beyond the cutting garden is a deck and terraced steps. The fast-growing "sem" spirea line the steps going to the lower yard and lakeshore. Watch for these potted plants: bougainvillea, gardenia, trumpet flower and voodoo lilies.Bill and Jessie Blanchard1016 Fillmore St.AlexandriaNestled behind a white picket fence, Bill and Jessie have created a retreat filled with native perennials to attract butterflies, hummingbirds and bees. Benary giant zinnias greet visitors on the right as they enter the yard. Some plants are seedlings and may not be blooming yet. Bill and Jessie are participating in the Great Sunflower Project by planting Lemon Queen sunflowers; they then track the number of bees that visit to shed light on the effects of pesticides on pollinators.A new garden area in the backyard includes many pollinator-friendly plants, such as compass plants, royal catchfly, late figwort, sweet black-eyed Susan and giant purple hyssop, as well as coneflowers, lobelia, lupines and several types of native liatris that rabbits and deer won't touch. They have a bee balm garden, a surprise garden and whimsical yard art.Alexandria Golf Club2300 N. Nokomis NEAlexandriaThe Alexandria Golf Club welcomes the public to view its golf course. The club takes great pride in its well-maintained greens, bentgrass fairways, colorful flower beds and lake views.
