Grab a seat and join us as we talk about: the surprising reason she started her own floral business her unique business-building experience with a private tutor the advantages she finds in designing with local grown flowers following her intuition regarding the use of floral foam and how she transitioned away from using it her experience writing a book from idea conception to printing and selling her commitment to elevating British Grown Flowers to a luxury product LINKS MENTIONED IN EPISODE 85: Green & Gorgeous The Garden Gate Flower Co.
