Business Plan
I would love to get more into the wedding side of it with more employees. I would like to day own my own building as well instead of renting. Also, helping with the local school in the horticulture classes, to have a greenhouse. I have been in this business for 8 years, love my job! Its demanding and stressful, also very rewarding as well. This is my first grant applying for, worked many long hours to get where Im at now. Just need a little help making it better then what it is now. Having a flower shop gives you so much room to be creative! My girls help me clean, process flowers, do deliveries. Its teaching them work ethic. Hopefully one day they will see its hard work having a business and they can to do it!

Self Identified Competition
Im in a rural area, I dont really have competitors. I deliver up to 40 miles sometimes, in a small town people go with who they know and the work. Lucky for me I have a big family and my work speaks for itself. I go above and beyond to make that arrangement special or make you feel that way when you get it.
