Episode 2: Two Flower Shops, Big Lessons & Business Flops

This week on The Flower Shop Diaries, Amanda and Patrick pull back the curtain on what it’s really like to run two flower shops. We dive into the differences between each store, how they each serve their communities, and the reality of where the money actually goes once a customer buys a bouquet.

We also get honest about some of our biggest business flops—the ideas that didn’t work, the mistakes we made, and the lessons we learned along the way. Running a flower shop isn’t always picture-perfect, and we’re sharing the wins, the losses, and everything in between.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like behind the scenes of a small business, or you’re thinking about starting one yourself, this episode is packed with real stories, laughter, and a few hard-earned lessons.

Thanks for listening to The Flower Shop Diaries!
