To overcome that obstacle,
she attended floral school and, to boost her business savvy,
she enrolled in the first ASSETS Toledo class that Olivia
Holden conducted.
With banker Juanita
Greene, Turner toured the city looking at floral shops that
were for sale. She found a mentor in the business - another
flower shop owner.
Eventually she established
Blessed Blossoms Flower Shop in 2000 at 3365 Lagrange.
Fourteen years later, Blessed Blossoms is still thriving.
Nevertheless, Turner is
guiding the business into another direction. Much of her
business currently is of the off-the-street retail type –
customers who drop in and pick up a flower or a bouquet –
along with the larger orders for weddings, funerals and
other such events. Turner, however, is steering her
operation into more technologically-advanced territory –
online and telephone orders.
Through her website or by
telephone customers can arrange delivery to any spot in the
area or virtually anywhere in the United States.
Need a Mothers Day bouquet
delivered to Fargo, North Dakota or Rockville, Maryland?
Turner can do just that for you.
