In the 1960s, my grandfather purchased it from him, and eventually, my grandmother also joined the family business. My dad, David, became involved while he was still in college. As for me, I started working at the shop from a young age, helping during big floral holidays like Valentine\u2019s Day and Mother\u2019s Day. By high school, I began working more regularly, and after college, I fully joined the family business. My sister, Michelle, also works alongside me.<br><br>Much like other business owners, I wear many hats. I\u2019m responsible for the day-to-day operations, but a major focus of my role has been managing and expanding the events side of the business.

After extensive research and reaching out to dozens of dahlia farms outside of New England, I found Griffith Hill Farm in Bucks County, PA.
