About MN Floral Collective
Why I started all of this- to support you!
Minnesota has such a vibrant floral community full of a vast array of style, skill and personalities. After making amazing friends with so many of these talented people in this community I saw one huge hole in our community. A platform to connect, cultivate relationships, ask for help, and offer to help others. With that and now having my own floral bestie, I set out to help bring us all together to help support one another and cultivate the type of community that we are all proud to be a part of.
So...who am I is the next question. My name is Jeni and I am the owner of Green Goddess Floral. I have been a florist for over 25 years and have a large volume of weddings under my belt to be able to say I have been around the floral block. More details are below. With unprecedented times not only from a pandemic that has been hanging over our businesses for years, flower shortages that make you scared to be able to say you can get a specific flower in August (or frankly any month for some items) and the sheer crazy volume of weddings we are all facing, we need to come together and support one another.
My big hopes and dreams for this platform are to help people just starting out find resources to support them.
* Help seasoned veteran florists put together a team of amazingness on a doubleheader weekend.
* Connect with our amazing locally grown floral community and spread the word and joy of locally grown flowers and local flower farmers.
* Ask questions and grow together.
* Unload or acquire flowers or hard goods.
