Historical information

These photographs, taken by The Advocate in 1991, were published as part of the newspaper’s ongoing column profiling local traders across the district.

These photographs feature the owner Leanne Kalwig and staff of Bud and Blossoms Flower Shop 9 Alfrieda Street St. Albans. The shop has been operating at this site for three years and on this occasion, it was celebrating being selected as the trader of the week.

Significance

The Sunshine Advocate’s feature on local traders was a modest yet well‑liked column that played a meaningful role in strengthening community identity.

Through these regular profiles, the newspaper promoted local businesses and helped shape Sunshine’s understanding of its developing commercial district.
