When the scent of spring is in the air, it heralds more than just blooming flowers—it marks a legacy cultivated by Brenda Chappelear, Etowah Florist's very own artisan and this week's Hometown Hero. From a childhood amidst the vibrant hues of a gladiola farm to nurturing a business that's become a cornerstone of the community, Brenda's tale is steeped in the kind of passion that can't help but inspire. With Mother's Day just around the corner, she takes us behind the scenes of her floral sanctuary where each petal and stem holds a story, and where her faithful dog, Maggie, is as much a part of the team as the blooms themselves.
Brenda's hands have not only arranged countless bouquets but have built bridges throughout Etowah, creating emotional landmarks with every delivery. As we talk, the conversation meanders through the colorful array of challenges that face local florists and the undeniable charm of supporting those who know every contour of the land's botanical offerings. We learn why choosing seasonal flowers makes a difference, not just to the environment but to the heart of each arrangement. Celebrating 36 years of growth and the evergreen beauty of floristry, Brenda's story with Etowah Florist is a reminder of the gentle power held within the petals we pass from hand to hand.
