SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Sadly, the owner of Enchanted Florist in South Lake Tahoe will be closing its doors on Tuesday, April 30. Owner Karen Estes said she took a beating after COVID-19 when weddings were canceled or postponed and businesses couldn't be open, with the rising costs of utilities, and a lack of people to work at the popular florist, she made the tough decision to close.
"It is with a heavy heart to say that I am closing Enchanted Florist," said Karen. "I will be posting the flower shop for sale."

Councilmember Scott Robbins continues to engage in conduct unbecoming an elected official serving the people of South Lake Tahoe.
He routinely deletes social media posts from citizens he disagrees with. This is a clear attempt to silence dissenting voices and create an echo chamber devoid of different perspectives. Our elected officials should allow open discourse - even if they don’t agree or like the comment. Deleting comments from the public square is anti-democratic and unethical for an elected official.

You know the saying, “April showers bring May flowers.” While you probably think about tulips and lilies, I want you to also think about artichokes! Yes, artichokes! You may be interested to know that the artichoke is actually the bud of a plant from the thistle family. When I see fresh artichokes at the farmers markets, I cannot resist bringing home a “bouquet.”
