Owner
Tom literally grew up in the floral industry under the watchful eye of his father, learning the business from the bottom up, doing everything from cleaning roses to taking out the trash...Tom really understands the value of hard work and customer satisfaction.
Every morning Tom handpicks all of the quality blooms that he and his staff will turn into your "Thank You", "I'm Sorry", "Happy Birthday" or "Just make someone smile" arrangement.
Ever the constant learner, Tom is always searching for the newest in designs and eco-friendly techniques. Also, between eating bratwursts and sipping wine, Tom has learned a thing or two from European floral designers in his travels with Maria.
At the end of the day... Tom still takes out the trash. |
