There is a rich, beautiful, complex, and diverse narrative being told by African Americans and other persons of color in the floral marketplace. It is long past time to recognize their excellence and contributions to cut flower farming and floristry. Teresa shares her interviews and profiles with leading pioneers and explores their lives rooted in the floral world.
“Luscious images add to compelling and inspiring stories of people who found their passion in floristry. This is not a DIY story, this is both “Wow!” and “Gee, I’d like to know this person.” I love the little tidbits about what flower is each person’s fave.”
