Meet our guest of the week, Lauren Uhlig of FlorxEight!

Join us as we dive into her incredible journey as a full-time architect turned passionate rose enthusiast. Since planting her first roses in 2017, her urban Maryland backyard is now blooming with nearly 200 rose plants. Sharing the love with local florists, Lauren is also fostering a sense of community around her favorite flowers and inspiring others to embrace the joy of growing roses.
