I began working for Corrine at Curly Willow by answering a “help wanted” ad on Facebook 4.5 years ago. Since the day I walked into her shop, I can honestly say I have learned so much and have loved every single minute working with Cori and learning from her. A passion for flowers and design was ignited in me that fall, and I knew this is where I should be. When Cori told me that she and her family were moving up North and that this would be the last year for Curly Willow, I was pretty disappointed at the thought of my friend moving away and the uncertainty of what my future in the flower business might look like. However with Cori’s encouragement I began dreaming about the possibility of opening my own little floral shop. With the help and support of Cori and my family, Lilac Gardens has become a reality.
