Services or products you offer: Fresh flowers, plants, and plant accessories, plus nature-inspired goods (both locally made and vintage).  

What you enjoy most about your profession: Knowing that with each order we’re bringing smiles and warmth to the faces and hearts of our customers and community.  

Fun fact about your company: Between flower farms, greenhouses, and our consignees, we support over 20 small businesses through our one little shop! If you follow us on Instagram, we do a weekly “Flower Fairy Friday” giveaway to local businesses. 

Customer service is: The meat and potatoes of any business. We exist to care for our customers and community and take pride in that responsibility. I always say that you can hire wonderful people and train them to do just about anything, but having a knack for customer service is a very special skill.  

You started your business, because: I saw a need and opportunity. I knew plants would marry well with the flower shop and that both businesses could create opportunities for each other. After the seed was planted, Planted on Main took on a spirit of its own. 

First job: My parents were entrepreneurs and business owners, so I participated and helped when appropriate, but my first “official” job was cleaning rooms at a bed and breakfast. My 14-year-old self was not a huge fan of the early mornings! 

Favorite food: Mexican.  

When not working, you can be found: With my family, playing in our yard, or gardening. 

You love living here, because: You can grow just about anything! I also love that we get to experience all four seasons.
