What better way for the My ArundelBiz podcast to welcome May - a month filled with celebratory occasions including Mother's Day, high school proms, graduations, and weddings - than to feature one of Anne Arundel County's many great flower-flinging businesses: Maher's Florist.
We sat down with Kim Wharton, owner of the Pasadena-based biz, to discuss:
- How she fell in love with flowers - despite originally having "no interest" in them - while working alongside her mom, who opened the business in 1977.
- How the business has continued to evolve and set itself apart amid various challenges, from e-commerce giants to international shipping issues.
- Her top tips for business owners.
- Her five favorite local businesses and her five favorite flowers
- PLUS the truth about black roses and black-eyed Susans!
So tune in to learn more about a business, and a woman, that's all about the blooms!
