Working for my mom and dad after college lit a fire in me for business. I especially loved seeing how all the different parts of a business worked together. After they sold their business, I ran a retail shop for several years and gained all the knowledge in hospitality/customer service. In 2017 I was looking for a change and landed on floral design after my sister recognized I had a talent for it.
This path has combined all my passions in my work life: creativity, efficiency, flexibility, and problem solving. And, last but not least, making you so happy with your event flowers!
I am an integral part of my family farm where we grow corn and soybeans. I own/operate an online clothing boutique in addition to working at Laurilyn Farms and Laurilyn Floral Design. I also grow vegetables and sell them at our farm stand. As you can probably guess, I like to stay busy doing things I enjoy. I love being a part of the whole cut flower process: planting, growing, harvesting & designing! I have developed a knack for making maid’s bouquets and I can’t wait to make yours!
I taught art for 37 years in Seymour Community Schools and in 2020 I retired to babysit my grandchildren. Spending time with my grandchildren gives me a great opportunity to continue spreading my passion for art. I was so excited when Lauren contacted me to come work for her when I am not hanging with my grandchildren. Working with beautiful flowers is the perfect fit for me! It is so rewarding to create beautiful arrangements and see the joy they bring to everyone.
