At earlier-defiant Flower World, workers now wear masks

MALTBY — Employees at a plant nursery here have gone from mask-less to masked, despite the owner’s argument that requiring face coverings poses a risk to his workers’ safety.

A Thursday visit to Flower World found workers complying with a state mandate to wear masks, a strategy aimed at combatting the spread of the coronavirus.

Longtime customer Bethany Williamson said she can no longer shop at Flower World in good conscience.

For years, Flower World has been her go-to spot for everything from trees to annual vegetable starts. She lives in Kirkland but would carpool with a neighbor and make a day out of visiting the nursery.

“I have spent thousands there,” she said.

After reading about the company’s no-mask policy, Williamson said she won’t return.

Nothing like customer demand to get a business to change.
