The flower industry is something that holds a special place in Heather's heart and she is always eager to be involved at all levels.

Heather summarizes her positive can do attitude as follows.
“I can't believe that everyday I wake up and am ready to get to work long before my stores even open. I get so excited every time I see something new or even old that I may not have seen in a while. New staff look at me like I am crazy but my senior ones just smile and say "she really means it, she is excited". I intend on getting even more involved with our industry as time goes on. After all, it is the best industry in the world!"
