Employee Spotlight

This week we are highlighting the lovely Laurel. Laurel has worked at Stevens for 6 years. She just recently semi-retired from her position in sales to a part time position working in our hard goods department. Laurel adores her job because she loves flowers and the crew here at Stevens. The flowers that top her favorites list are Coxcomb and Orchids/Mokara. She is one of those crazy kids that loves the snow, and now that we are gearing up for the holidays and that yummy turkey dinner, I asked Laurel what special dish will be on her table...Pecan Squares. Yum! In her spare time she likes to throw...pottery that is, and spend time with her cat Jaz. Laurel is notorious for the constant mispronunciation of her name...Laura, Lauren, Laurie, Lau....

Free Spirit Update

Just wanted to give you all an update on how our Rose of the Week - Free Spirit is opening up. Absolutely stunning don't you think?

Halloween at Stevens

Check out everyone's costumes...

Sandy is Naughty but Nice

Becky is Captain Jack Sparrow's sister.

Jessie is the Mad HatterAudrey is a clown complete with the giant floppy shoes.

Rosie is a witch casting a spell.

Terri turned Biker Chick ...

And then there is Susan a Cowgirl with a head wound.

She should really get that looked at.

Rose of the Week

Free Spirit! This is a very flavorful rose-looks like orange sherbert. It is light orange with hot pink tips and a nice high petal count. Free Spirit smells fabulous and opens up nice and full. "It's heaven in a vase!" says Julie. 

Lady's Slipper Orchid

We have this beautiful Lady's Slipper Orchid for sale. Dark red and lime green coloring makes it a great fall gift, and its pouch makes it very unique. Here is a fun fact: the Lady's Slipper is the state flower in Minnesota and the state wildflower in New Hampshire. What do you think?

Greenhouse Update

Let's take a little tour around Stevens today.

Here is an update on the new cooler. Getting all the walls and ceiling glued on.

Our greenhouse boys are planting a new crop.

And here is a snapshot of our bouquet chicks making some bright bouquets!

Becky is next up!

Our spotlight this week is Becky. She has been with Stevens and Son for 5 years. Before joining our team she worked for Nursery Supply Wholesale Foliage and Growers. That makes her our resident plant expert.  Her favorite part about her job is getting to touch all the beautiful flowers that come through our doors. Her favorite flower/plant is an orchid. Becky likes to get into the holiday spirit and will be dressing as a gypsy for Halloween. Her favorite candy is anything chocolate. She loves to garden in her spare time and was very proud of her pepper plants this year! Becky is known around here for her wacky personality and for whistling while she works.
