Hello everyone. I have looked up several floral shops in the chapel hill and carrboro area. These are the ones that I figured would be most receptive to us (by viewing their websites and reading their reviews), or at least consider what we have to say.
1. University Florist and Gift shop
124 E. Franklin St
2. Chapel Hill Florist
200 W. Franklin St.
3. Purple Puddle Flowers
400 S. Elliott Rd
4. Victoria Park Florist
1129 Weaver Dairy Rd.
5. Bloom Where you are Planted
708 Market St.
Let me know what you think.

Hi all.
I live out by airport rd and can go to the shops on weaver dairy. I believe that it has a couple of coffee shops and a florist. I will reply to the blog again once I have a finalized list. If you want to join, let me know. Maybe having more than one person will be beneficial some how.
Oren
Nilima, We'll meet next Monday at 5 pm. We should go to the merchants that are not on Franklin st. I was thinking maybe meadowmont, University mall, Weaver Dairy Rd, Eastgate, etc?
We should then check back with them on Tuesday, Wednesday, and the following Monday. Does that sound OK?
Oren
Oren,
I think that sounds perfect. I think Ian and Casey are going to take care of Franklin Street and Carrboro.
Where should we meet on Monday?
I have all the flyers from Marshall so I will bring those with me and we can pass them out to the businesses that we visit.
Nilima
Nilima,
That is a great idea! If anyone wants to join, please let us know. How about 5:30 pm in front of the old well?
Sounds exciting!
Oren
Florist group,
I am so excited to visit the florists in chapel hill. So i guess casey and i will be going to florists on franklin st and carrboro. If anyone else in the group wants to meet us on monday, we can figure out when and where.
Ian
Hey Casey and Ian, just let me know which floral shops you guys are visiting so that I do not visit the same shops that you have already been to. I am not visiting any shops until thursday, so just let me know before then if you can.

Hey everyone!!!
I was wondering when you all wanted to meet up this week. I'm available Wed after 3, Thurs from 3-5pm, and Fri anytime after 12pm. Just let me know what you think. =)
Nat
Maybe we should have some of us meet Wednesday at some Friday to accommodate everyone's schedules. What do yall think?
Ian
or some on thursday...whichever yall think. I'm done at 3 on wednesday, can't on thursday afternoon, and at 3 on friday.
Hello wonderful group,
Sorry to be difficult but tomorrow I can only go between 4-5, Thursday from before 11 or 11 50-12 50 or 2-3, or Friday before 11. That's probably not going to work for you guys but I can always go with someone next week if they are still willing.
Nilima
Hey again!!!
I was just wondering if anyone wanted to meet tomorrow. I can meet anytime after 12pm. Maybe we could meet at Caribou or Starbucks on Franklin.Just let me know time and place if anyone's available.
Nat
hey natalie i can meet you at 12 at starbucks on franklin if you want. i get out of class at 1150. let me know what you think.
Hey Ian,
I just have to run a quick errand at 12, but I can definitely meet you at Starbucks around 12:30. Are we going to go out to florists or just discuss a game plan by the way? Should I bring some flyers and brochures if i can get my hands on them?
Nat
that sounds good. I need to be somewhere around 1, so how about we like just sorta discuss it and maybe go talk to university florist and that one in university square. i have some fliers, and i'll print out the info i was talking about in class. see you 1230 at starbucks if thats cool!
Sounds like a plan! see you then.
Nat
hey group...i was sick tonight and missed class. did i miss anything important in our plan to take over the florists of chapel hill??
