When I was young I used to go to this Plant Nursery in my neighborhood; I loved that place and would often go many times during the week. I would look in amazement at the plants and flowers and sometimes buy something. This was the beginning of my Passion! So after I graduated from high school I went to Cal Poly Pomona and studied Ornamental Horticulture; I got to my third year and became disenchanted with my education. Then one day I saw and Ad in the Los Angeles Times for a Floral Helper at a shop in Beverly Hills.

I applied for that job and amazingly I got hired! I had No floral experience! The Florist was called “Jef’s An Affair with Flowers” and it was considered one of the Best shops in the Beverly Hills and Los Angeles area. My first day I walked in the back workroom and it was amazing to see: lots of busy Floral Designers, the flamboyant owner, delivery drivers, people talking loudly, and a fast pace I’ve never seen. Jef’s did amazing weddings, flowers for celebrities, extravagant parties, anything you could thing of!

After leaving Jef’s I had a couple floral jobs. Then I decided to go back to college and get my Bachelors Degree in Communication. After graduating I decided to go to Pepperdine University and get my Masters Degree in Communication. I had a few Retail Management jobs and then was drawn back into the Flower Business. I worked at a variety of Florists and I developed a successful Orchid Website and then sold it.

That brings me to today and my newly redone website: Beverlyhillsflowers.com This had been a long time coming.
