Milestones

My road in life took a while to figure out.
I went to the Core Institute for Massage Therapy.
Worked in physical therapy for several years until I had a hand injury and had surgery.
I had a passion for plants and flowers so I went to horticulture school.
I started working in the family business over 18 years ago.
Over the years through continuing education and a lot of hands on work and most of all passion.
I have become an owner & head designer, you can never stop learning in this industry.
Not only do you have to be a unique designer, but you have to be a full time business, HR, janitor...
And therapist, and work all hours!!! Our motto is "When you love what you do it shows!"
Keep following my journey

No day is ever the same, that's one thing that keeps it exciting. Orders have to be checked, flowers have to be ordered, cleaned, customers have to be helped, deliveries have to be made on time, wedding appointments have to be done, funereal flowers have to be perfectly set, and paper work has to be done!
