Just because we may not have something in the store today doesn’t mean we can’t get it for you. People can go anywhere to get flowers. But if you’re getting flowers in a supermarket type of environment versus direct from a farm, which is where we’re getting them from, it makes a big difference.”Martini, whose grandmother Dee DeLuca inspired her appreciation for flowers, said her background is in special events.She said she and Chandler want to bring experience-based floral events to Westerville, such as Blooms and Beverages, in addition to teaching and educating people about the art of flowers.“We wanted something where people could come and really learn about the industry and learn about flowers and make it an experience for them,” Martini said. “That’s why we started the Flower Bar, where they could come and choose flowers and build their own bouquets.

Trey Flowers gives the Patriots pass rush hope for the future
