Store Happenings Late September 2012

The sales floor has transformed from Summer to Fall with tweeds, ticking, leathers and wood.  Kelley Faulkner and Heather Freeman have designed a warm and inviting feel in the store among the flowers and plants.  The panels behind the register are made from scraps of driftwood and the chandeliers are constructed of curly willow vines.  



In addition to the fabulous fall flowers, another key arrival are our Dr. Delphinium pumpkins!  Kelley meticulously orders the dried products that you see on these gorgeous pumpkins and each is individually designed for a one of a kind gift for you or for someone else!  These pumpkins will last throughout the entire season of Halloween and Thanksgiving so be sure to come and pick one out today!  They have already started to fly out of the door!



So please stop by and see how fabulous everything looks!

More Store Happenings! Mid-August 2012


I know you have seen the advertisements but we wanted to give you a little more background about the floral classes which begin August 16th.  These classes run for five Thursdays and are taught by our very own Bryna Morrow, the Dr. D. wedding and events coordinator.  Each week, the topic changes and ranges from the rose arrangement which is a good fundamental design, to hand tied bridal bouquets. 


  
In deciding the subject matter, Bryna has drawn from the four main areas of floral design; classic, modern, wedding and events.  Her objective is to draw from each genre in order to provide a platform for people who want to learn more about floral design to create works of art for their own party or event.  More information can be found at http://www.drdelphinium.com/designclasses.asp.

Plant Blog #7


It's been way too long because of technical issues...really.  We apologize for our absence. 

I hear the expression, “I have no green thumb” all the time.  This gave me cause to look up the derivation of the phrase.  It seems in older times, it was not just the thumb but the fingers as well that were “green”.  Some sources say that the green fingers relate to the algae that stained the fingers after rubbing off clay pots.  The use of the word “thumb” goes back to the millers.  Millers, who ground crops such as corn for farmers, would rub the corn between their thumb and palm and if it was good, the miller was said to have a “golden thumb”.  It would appear that the golden thumb morphed into green thumb with reference to gardeners that produced good plants.  Whether this is accurate or not it is plausible, so I am a believer.

You don’t have to have a green thumb just the desire and time to put into plants.  As I have said before, plants are like people.  Some need a lot of care and some not so much; some are prickly while others are smooth.  They all have different requirements and offer an array of colors and textures.  They are all unique and special, just like people.

My advice until next time:  Please buy a plant; it will be good for you.
