about me

leah kay: the woman behind the apron

I'm the girl who went to her third-grade fall festival dressed in an apron and carrying a daisy because I wanted to be a florist when I grew up.  And now I'm actually doing it.

As might be expected, I did stray from my third grade answer to the question of what did I want to be when I grew up for a time before circling back to floral design.  Thanks to an elective that I completed as part of my landscape horticulture degree from Auburn, I realized that fresh cut flowers were my calling.  My answer to that age-old question was as clear to me at 19 as it had been at 9, and the very next semester I sought out an internship and haven't looked back.

​

It's been a long and winding road, and I even picked up a master's degree in public horticulture along the way. While landscape design is still my bread and butter, I'm so excited to finally be doing what I love: flowers for events, weddings, gifts, and so many of life's other celebrations. 

​

I'm driven to keep growing and developing my craft so that each event is an improvement upon the last. I'm actually not quite satisfied unless I overhear the other vendors saying things like, "This is the most gorgeous bouquet I've ever seen," and yes, it has happened a time or two. ;)
