    Meet Adele - store owner, head designer and most importantly our leader! Her passion for floral design started at the young age of twelve working with her mom.

Adele works tirelessly to create unique designs, support her staff with the utmost care & compassion and strives to stay on trend. In early 2021 she became a first time grandparent and never shies away from sharing photos of beautiful baby Rowan. Adele also loves travel and reading but her true passion is building her business and serving her community.
