Hey Friends of Flora!-- Tell everyone you know!

Flora is seeking an intern for the Fall season! Come learn what the Floral Design industry is all about! You'll gain experience across the entire spectrum of what it means to be a floral designer--- From the nitty gritty (i.e. washing vases, heavy lifting, event breakdowns), to the fun stuff (floral design, planters, weddings, & making people oh-so happy!). We are seeking a dependable, hard worker who is eager to learn! Flora has a close-knit family of staff members, and we would love to find someone who values friendship in the workplace, so that our work family can keep growing!

Approximately 10 to 15 hours per week, including some weekends.
Please send a resume, and a brief paragraph telling us a little bit about yourself, and why you would like to intern with Flora to florabellissima@live.com by Sunday, August 18th.

We hope to hear from you!!

Help Us Beautify Haywood Road!


Hello Friends of Flora!
We wanted to share a project with you all that we just began, in an effort to raise some funding to help beautify our West Asheville neighborhood.  Follow the link to donate!  http://www.gofundme.com/3soab4

Located across the street from our shop are two giant publicly-owned medians that sit at the corner of Westwood Pl. & Haywood Rd. Up until about a week ago, they were looking fairly neglected, and were overrun with weeds. Our hard-working team of gardeners has started the makeover process (as you can see in our photos below), but these medians still need lots of love to be on par with how much we love our neighborhood!

Our plan is to use the space for blooming bulbs, plants, succulents, ground covers, edible flowers, flowering bushes, etc.! 

We are happy to step up to the plate as far as the labor, and year-round maintenance go for this soon-to-be-stunning green space, but we would appreciate some help from the community in terms of initial costs. 

We've set our goal at $1,250.00 -- this money will go completely towards this project, and will help cover the cost of the plants, and will help Flora with the yearly costs of mulch, fertilizer, and maintenance. 

Thanks to your generosity and help, our neighborhood will be bursting with blooming life in no time!

Here are some photos we took after we tore all the weeds out, and gave the existing plants a good pruning:
