Hey, Floralpreneur!
Welcome to my tips for Home-Studio Florists.

I’ve been a home-studio florist for 16 years.
In my early 20’s I always wanted to have a flower shop. As it turns out it simply wasn’t in the cards for me….the “perfect” flower shop opportunity never presented itself, so a home-based business was the logical way for me to start. Even though I “work from home”, I hold flower shop owners in high-regard; it’s a noble profession and a service to the community to operate a brick & mortar shop.
Whether you’re been in business for 3 weeks or over 20 years, like me, I hope you’ll enjoy these tips for running a successful & profitable home-based business.

It’s not always easy to run your own business, but in my experience as commander in chief of my one-woman-floral army, I find it very rewarding.
And when you love floral design, well, it’s a dream gig to get to work with flowers, even with its challenges.
How’d you get started?
I’ve been a floral designer for 23 years. I have a Bachelor of Science in Plant & Soil Science from The University of Vermont, as well as a minor in small business.
I started my own business, Floral Artistry, out of the kitchen of our 2nd floor apartment and this April, I kicked off my 16th wedding season.
I took my first hands-on floral design class at a summer workshop in 5th grade. I enjoyed it so much that when began looking for my first job, my mother suggested I apply at the floral cart in the mall;
“Remember how much you enjoyed that floral design class when you were a kid? They’re hiring at the flower cart….why don’t you apply there?“
The rest as they say, is history. {you can read more about me here.}
