Jen began Wood & Word Blooms after she designed the wood flowers for her own wedding. Wood flowers are made from the natural pith of the Aeschynomene Aspera plant, which grows in tropical regions such as India and Thailand. The porous nature allows them to easily be painted or dyed and can even take in scent from essential oils. These flowers act as blank canvases for Jen to then design using different techniques from dip dying and hand painting to airbrushing and decoupaging. What began as a small part time gig doing small floral gifts and wood flower arrangement parties while she spent her days teaching reading quickly bloomed into a full time business. After 20 years as an educator, Jen has transitioned to full time professional wood flower florist, even leading the wood flower industry as a member of the Wood Flower Florist Conference & Retreat planning committee and Presenter. She prides herself on creating uniquely you florals that you can cherish long after a week or two. Clients are able to customize their arrangements by having their wood flowers in any style or any color at any time of year and they are a great option for those who have allergies or cannot have fresh flowers for any reason. While she loves her Connecticut clients, these flowers are also easy and convenient to ship nationwide. You can shop for arrangements, DIY Kits and Classes online at www.woodandwordblooms.com, as well as inquire about Private Workshops, Permanent Floral Installations or wood flowers for your Wedding/Event. ]]> tollandcountycha Thu, 03 Aug 2023 19:36:43 +0100 https://tollandcountychamber.org/membership/member-directory/garden/florist/330-wood-word-blooms https://tollandcountychamber.org/membership/member-directory/garden/florist/287-fairytale-flowers-by-kerry Professional Floral Design Co.

Ellington’s Agway: Three Generations & Growing In 1928 Werner Kupferschmid went to work for the Ellington Vernon Farmers Exchange unloading 100-pound bags of grain. His hard work and determination led to a promotion, and in 1936, the young Kupferschmid became manager. He and his wife, Clara, who took care of the bookkeeping and customer service, operated the business from their home and two-bay garage until 1950 – at which time the business was moved to a rail siding on Spring Street in Rockville. In 1968 the business moved to its present location on Route 83 in Ellington. As the nature of the region changed from agricultural to residential, the board of directors of the Ellington Vernon Farmers Exchange voted to liquidate the cooperative, and in 1972 the business was sold to the three sons of Werner Kupferschmid; Gene, Stuart and Wayne. Today, Agway is in its third generation of ownership. Cory and Grant Kupferschmid currently run the business with the guidance of their father, Wayne. The showroom boasts an incredible variety of Home and Garden needs. Product lines now include pet food and supplies, bagged feed, wild bird and lawn and garden supplies… just to name a few. Our friendly, knowledgeable sales staff is comprised of devoted family members, enthusiastic new-comers, and long-time employees – all here to assist you with your selections and to help load purchases in your car. As we move into the future, it is the goal of Ellington Agway to continue to as the Kupferschmids have for years. "This has always been a family business – Not only in the organization of the business, but in the way the business has been operated. We shall continue to treat the customer as if he were family and continue to give the customer a reason to come back here to shop." – Ellington Agway Mission Statement]]> tollandcountycha Fri, 11 Feb 2022 19:16:43 +0100 https://tollandcountychamber.org/membership/member-directory/garden/garden-center/186-ellington-agway https://tollandcountychamber.org/membership/member-directory/garden/florist/179-michelle-s-florals ]]> tollandcountycha Fri, 11 Feb 2022 19:00:33 +0100 https://tollandcountychamber.org/membership/member-directory/garden/florist/179-michelle-s-florals https://tollandcountychamber.org/membership/member-directory/garden/garden-center/140-the-garden-barn-nursery-inc More than a company, we are a diverse group of dedicated people working together to realize our full potential and the full potential of our company, our customers, and our community at The Garden Barn, every day.
