This week's guest started her floral studio as a little flower shop with the sole inspiration to make people happy via beautiful flower arrangements. With minimal flower experience, a passion for flowers and determination, The Hidden Garden has become a phenomenal design studio with a strong presence in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills. How inspiring is it to know that a business began with a desire to simply make people happy. Well,I am truly happy to share the floral journey of my guest, Amy Child Marella this week on The Flower Podcast.
