Fairbanks Alaska Florists - Keeping your home and office beautiful and fragrant!
Although we live north of the 64th parallel, Kathy and I are southerners through and through. Moose chili, banana puddin', fresh halibut and grits can always be found in our home. We northern-transplanted southerners sure do like to eat well. One of the other traditions that followed us around the world and north to Alaska is always having fresh cut flowers in the house.
I remember as a boy how my mother would fuss over 'the garden.' Hours were spent in a big wide brimmed straw hat in the blistering Mississippi heat pruning, watering and, of course, talking to all of her floral babies. She was (I say was 'cuz I think she's shrinking) barely 5' tall and weighed all of about 91 pounds, and that was holding a vase of flowers and pruning shears.
Sometimes all you could see from the patio was that big 'ol hat wafting through fields of flowers. My mother, along with Ollie, the gardener/handyman/jack of all trades, grew some of the most beautiful roses I've ever seen. White and yellow were, and still are, my favorites.
These days my dear sweet mother would tell you that I've fallen down on the job, as the flowers in our home come from a florist (sacrilege I know) rather than from our own flower garden. She's right, but there are only so many hours in the day. If, like us, you don't have time to maintain a botanical garden or have a round-up thump then give these fine folks a call!
