Pluck Floristry has humble roots, but continues to thrive
A small patch of zinnias planted by upcoming florist, April Myers, last summer sparked an idea of how to turn a hobby into a business venture. “I couldn’t cut them fast enough and they kept coming back and so I thought, I guess I can do this,” remembers Myers. What started in a 5 foot by 5 foot “gateway garden” has now grown to 22 raised beds boasting watermelons, pumpkins and all manner of flowers.
