Tips For Home-Studio Florists

Hey, Floralpreneur®!

Welcome to my tips for Home-Studio Florists.

To grab my FREE pdf 10 Tips For Home-Studio Florists CLICK HERE!


I’ve been a home-studio florist for 17 years.

The truth is, 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 25 years, like me, I hope you’ll enjoy these tips for running a successful & profitable home-based business.


Bonus! You’ll find a link to a YouTube Playlist for Home-Studio Florists inside this training as well!


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 over 25 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.}

So how did YOU get started in the flower biz? Feel free to shoot me an e-mail to introduce yourself anytime: floralartvt@gmail.com
