MEET THERESA
Originally from Texas, I moved to Atlanta in 1989, then settled in Roswell, GA in 2006. As a full-time special education teacher and a mother of three beautiful children, I pursued my Master's Degree in Special Education, graduating in May 2021.
In my free time, I love gardening, yoga, and trivia with friends. To share my love for gardening, I started a flower truck business, enriching the community with fresh-cut flowers. Life is fulfilling as I balance teaching, gardening, and creating happiness through blooms.
MY WHY
Gardening has always been my passion, inherited from my supportive father. I fondly remember relishing my first home-grown tomato at just five years old. It requires determination, dedication, and grit, qualities I cherish.
​
Though I mostly grew vegetables, fresh-cut flowers have always brought joy to my heart. After grad school, I pondered my life's direction and asked myself, "What do I love and excel at?" Teaching special education is one, but I sought additional fulfillment.
​
Gardening topped my list of loves and strengths. Inspired by a friend's flower truck business, I embarked on my own journey. It's not all whimsy; it demands preparation, hard work, and the right audience. Yet, I'm thrilled by the joy and love my flower truck spreads.
