Growing up in Tacoma, I went to the high school featured in the 1999 movie "10 Things I Hate About You." Years later, I got to go out on the rooftop where the band plays in the last scene.

I became interested in floral design after planning/putting together arrangements for my best friend's baby shower a few years ago.  Quit my corporate marketing job to pursue floral design and by chance got my foot in the door at Terra Bella where I studied under Melissa Feveryear and helped open their Nordstrom location.

I have a y-shaped scar between my eyes from when I got stitches as a 4 year old after smashing my face on the corner of our couch... on New Year's Eve.  Sorry Mom and Dad!

to primary sourcing American grown flowers and NEVER using floral foams in any designs.    (80/20 stands for 80% domestic product vs. 20% imports)

"I believe floral consumers have only seen a small glimpse of the true talent and beautiful creativity the floral industry has to offer.  After decades of big floral retailers pumping the market with low cost imports and cookie-cutter designs, it's time for consumers to see what they have been missing.  

Floral consumers across our country will be able to experience, on a daily basis, the BEST in locally sourced florals.  LORA Bloom intends to be your #1 choice for local floral delivery celebrating all of life's special occasions. I welcome you to experience the difference." ~ Tammy Myers
