Creativity
Our principles
We believe in the power of creativity to transform ordinary flowers into extraordinary arrangements. Our designs are ikebana in style. We teach workshop participants to "think outside the vase" when choosing a container for their flowers. Teapots, pottery, pitchers and watering cans will make your arrangement stand out.
Community Engagement
We are dedicated to serving our community through floral design. We collaborate with schools, PTAs, non-profits, other businesses, churches, Girl Scouts and other organizations to bring the beauty of flowers to various events and occasions.
Education
We are passionate about sharing our knowledge and expertise in flower arranging. Through our workshops, we empower individuals to create their own floral masterpieces and discover the joy of working with flowers.
MY STORY
About Lisa
I came up with the name and idea for this company in April 2023 after getting my heart broken. After an expensive trip to Trader Joes, I surrounded myself with flower arrangements putting one in every room of my house. It helped - both the process of arranging them and the arrangements themselves. I was surrounded by beauty and felt comforted and optimistic.
I thought about how many women wait for someone else to buy them flowers and then don't even get the kind of flowers or arrangement that they like. I grew up in Japan and my arrangement style is "less is more," simple and unique, as in the traditional art of ikebana.
For me floral design is enjoyable, calming and therapeutic. I love teaching others about the benefits of this art as a way to spread joy, focus on nature and improve mental health.
I have recently started to plant my own flowers. It's really nice having options in my front yard that I can use in arrangements. I have received so much support from family, friends, my school and the Vienna community. I'm very grateful and hopeful that this business will be a way to spread a lot of lasting joy! I'm also hoping I can teach people tips and tricks for planting their own flowers/gardens through my Flower Power podcast. My guests and I will discuss the benefits of gardening, how gardening has been therapeutic for us and of course we'll share our favorite tips/tricks (as well as our mistakes.)
Thank you, as always, for your business!
