Funky Floral Arrangements in Westchester NY

Tarrytown NY Funky FlowersOver the past couple of years, I’ve been able to see and capture some very unique floral arrangements in lower Westchseter NY.  Here are some photos of my top 3 picks.   The flowers themselves though beautiful can not be described as “funky.”  However the  …shall we say ..”planters” in each of these cases is truly unique. My all time favorite is the truck.

I also rather like the “bathtub” arrangement.  I found his in the back of building just behind the Tarrytown Music Hall.   The antique cast iron tub makes for  quite a “planter.”

Both the truck and the working boot arrangements are from Carlson’s Floral and Gift. The greenhouse is located at 625 Dobbs Ferry Rd. in White Plains, right near the Sprain Brook Parkway access.  If you think their funky arrangements are intriguing – you’ll be blown away by their traditional arrangements!

Tarrytown NY – 3rd Friday – Great for kids & adults alike…

Tarrytown NY Third FridayTarrytown NY is one of those river towns in Westchester that has a vibe all its own.  The streets are not rolled up at 6 PM – a night life exists.  No – its not the dynamic city-style nightlife of Manhattan or even downtown White Plains, but the village has plenty of fine dining and activities that keep people on the streets well after dark.

One of the listings on my calendar of events Westchester NY was Tarrytown’s 3rd Friday.  Yesterday was, of course the 3rd Friday of July and in spite of the blistering heat and humidity – this unique Tarrytown monthly event was well attended.  3rd Friday is a way for merchants to market their wares – offer specials and for vendors to set up booths and for everyone in general to have fun.   There is face painting, and activities for the kids, while the adults can dine or check out any number of booths that offer plenty of variety. Jewelry at one booth, tote bags at another. At the other end of the spectrum, Westchester For Change was in evidence for those looking towards the fall election and for initiatives such as an energy policy.  In short it offers something for everyone and was well attended this time.
