Show Notes
Flowers have the ability to change a space and lives.
You can learn so much about nature and flowers by being a student of the cycle of life.
Even more than learning design, there is importance in learning how to relate to nature and flowers.
Try and relax as you design, it can make a difference in your creativity and everything you do.
Know that you can make a difference in the lives of people in your area as a business owner if you want. It doesn’t matter if you grow, design, or you have a retail space, let's make the world a better place.
Growing some of your own flowers will help you connect with what you do in flowers.
When planning her flower order, Gabriela bumps the numbers up by as much as 25% to make sure she has enough of what she wanted.
When growing your brand and Instagram following, share beautiful things. Amazing flower closeups can make a difference. Also, if there are people that inspire you take their workshops and build connections.
Everything you do Thrives if you do it with passion.
