Featured Floral Designer for December 2000

"I want to show florists how to take ordinary floral product, and with some creative twists and tricks, make dramatic, yet profitable arrangements," says Mike Garcia, our Featured Floral Designer for December 2000. "After all," he continues, "in this business, making money is what it's all about!"

Mike has been involved in all aspects of the floral industry for twenty-three years. Starting as a retail florist driver in Orange County, California, Mike was encouraged by a shop owner to take up design work. We're so glad he did! Mike is presently a freelance floral designer and salesman/designer for Floral Express, Carlsbad, CA.

Check out how Mike mixes standard flowers with Tropicals and Orchids to create some winning (and profitable!) holiday arrangements.
