Today we’re visiting with Liza Lubell, owner of Peartree and Garbage Goddess based in the NYC area to discuss:

• how a gap-year job in a flower shop turned into a 14 year career (so far!) in the floral industry
• her diversified business model which provides flowers for private homes, editorial work, weddings, special events, and corporate clients
• the seed of an idea for Garbage Goddess that began in her flower business, Peartree, and grew into an additional business as other floral designers inquired about her services
• the process of recycling post-event flowers and supplies
• the fee structure for Garbage Goddess services
• partnerships between Garbage Goddess and artists who create art with post-event flowers
• her annual pilgrimage/retreat to Costa Rica
• environmental-friendly installations
• how she measures success
