After arranging flowers in her garage, Franklin native to open flower shop downtown - Tennessean

Her hands plucked the stems of flowers out of a white bucket to put together the auburn, maroon and white petals. The Brentwood High School graduate grew up on Main Street, with vivid memories walking down its sidewalks and playing outside. Come November, she hopes to open up her new store called Merrystem. Her shop is situated in the building across from Five Points Starbucks on Hillsboro Road. "This is life coming full circle," she said. "Opening your own business is vulnerable, and you’re hoping people appreciate it as much as you and value what you’re offering as much as you do. At the same time, I am confident in my company and my heart is to serve the community well. As long as I do that, I can’t fail." How she became a florist After graduating from high school, Bourgeois tried her hand as a hairstylist. She liked the work but felt it ultimately wasn't for her. It wasn't until she started working for a flower shop in Nashville that she felt she found her niche. For the last year, she's been arranging flowers in her garage for weddings and special events. She also took that time to prepare for opening her own store after she felt God led her to...

Mobile flower bed spreads joy on streets of Auburn - The Auburn Plainsman

The Flower Bed has made about a dozen outings since April 2019. The couple has parked the truck in downtown Auburn to meet with people and sell flowers. “I am a very behind-the-scenes kind of person,” Lauryn Rodgers said. “I normally don’t like to be out in front of people, but this has allowed me to step out of my comfort zone and learn about myself. And people make it so easy because everyone is so happy to come by and see us.” Rodgers tries to get her flowers from local growers. She specifically noted Opelika, Montgomery and LaGrange growers, but also mentioned buying flowers from as far away as California and Miami. “In my heart, I would love to buy from local growers in different varieties,” Lauryn Rodgers said. “But it can be hard because you need to find people who are willing to tend to the project.” Her long-term dream is to be able to incorporate a way to teach children how to grow and tend to their own flowers. In the near future, she will be involved with the Auburn City Market on Saturdays this month, Lauryn Rodgers said. “I have been humbled by this whole process and the kindness of everyone,” Lauryn Rodgers said. “I am excited when I get the opportunity to go out — and a ball of nerves too — but everyone has been so happy that it is all worth it.” Do you like this story?
