Jumping In!

At the age of 14 I visited a run down greenhouse in Buffalo, New York on a family vacation.  From the moment I walked in the door I was captivated.  The smell of damp soil, lemon scented geraniums, and towering banana trees put me in an almost trance-like state as I wondered from room to room.  That day would prove to be the beginning of a life long admiration for all things green. At the age of 16 I got a job at a local flower shop where I began learning the art of floral design. To my surprise, not only was it an amazing creative outlet, but I was actually good at it!  Ten years of experience later, after attaining a degree in Botany, moving to Cache Valley and starting a family, I decided it was time to bring to fruition one of my dreams, starting my own flower business.  Working with plants and flowers has always been a great passion of mine and I look forward to sharing it.
