    Being a seasonal florist is amazing. I get to use all the best most inspiring blooms that we cultivate right here on our land. However lets be honest, Wisconsin’s growing season is not the longest even with season extension in our hoop houses. Winter is long. Thankfully I spend most of my weeks talking with couples to see how I can make their flowers easy and unforgettable. This sometimes entails creating vision boards or seed planning to fit their color palettes. The only thing missing is actually creating florals.
