Best advice you’ve gotten for leading a small business.
Hire to your weaknesses
Your favorite thing in your workspace.
The ethereal feel and smell of the flowers
What’s next on the horizon?
Who knows? So many possibilities. We really want to branch out and do more living walls, growing, container gardens, etc....
