Redmond High School homecoming dance. Bear Creek Florist did 89 wristlet corsages and 82 boutonnieres for the high schoolers, each one customized for the student. Lisa still gets excited building boutonnieres, explaining it’s the artistic aspect that drives her to do the work she does and the idea that when a student is pinning a flower on a tux or slipping a corsage onto their wrist, they are wearing something unique to match the event.

Relentless Rains A Drag On Local Garden Centers - LEX18 Lexington KY News

That can lead to having to get rid of plants. Redmond’s also does landscaping, but Wednesday was the first time this week that workers were able to get out, taking advantage of the break before the rain came back. “If you’re mowing, you’re going to rut yards. if you’re planting, if you have any kind of equipment in the yards, you’re going to rut.
