GG Bloom

GG Bloom was a flower shop owned and operated by a family friend of ours that I worked at through high school. It started off as a main job and then became more of an on call job as I went on to do other things.

This job wasn’t just about flowers, it was about making people feel so loved and appreciated through the flowers we brought them and making our service stand out against the rest.

When I worked part time, I would mostly work in the shop answering the phones and taking arrangement orders until it was time for a delivery. I would prep flowers for arrangements when they arrived from the delivery truck, or sit at the front desk and answer phones to take orders or add payments to existing orders. When there were arrangements to be delivered, I would ride along with our delivery driver and drop the arrangements off at our regular clients offices, or work areas, or to personal homes.

When the holidays came around, we were not just a flower shop, we also offered decorating services. Our clients would call on us to set up their homes or yards for Christmas each year, and we would spend hours trying to perfect their vision.
