{2} How long have you worked at Rockcastle Florist? I worked full time 1996-2001, part time from 2001-2010, and am now the Assistant Manager, full time since 2010.
{3} What is the most memorable order you have worked on at Rockcastle? For me the Gill wedding in 2012 at Sonnenberg Gardens. We designed 2 large spheres placed on silver pedestals that were really impressive. You don’t get to work on pieces like that very often!
{4} What is your favorite flower? Daffodil, I love the scent and it is one of the first flowers of spring!
{5} What inspires you in this Industry? Nature, everywhere you go there are flowers and plants! I really enjoy more natural materials and textures. It is great to use all of these elements to create something beautiful for people to enjoy.
{6} Tell us a random fact about yourself. I am an animal lover, especially interested in Birds!
I first met Shawn at a wedding he was doing the flowers for and the band, The New Aliens, were playing the gig also. I was inspired by his creativity and the need for someone to work in the greenhouse so offered him the job through the recommendation from Suzanne Farley. He turned out to be a very valuable asset and as you can tell is still one to this day. Congratulations to Shawn on his hard work and natural design ability.
