From art major to entrepreneur, Kayla Keith’s journey began when her dad asked, “A flower shop is for sale...wanna buy it?” She said yes, left college, and has been growing Jefferson House of Flowers ever since.

For 100+ years this property has bloomed under only four owners. Today, Kayla has expanded with a boutique, an event space, and even a private salon. With 7 employees she calls family, she’s built a brand that proves:

💐 The difference between grocery store flowers and flower shop flowers is huge
💐 Everything at Jefferson is custom; designed to stand out and make flowers trendy again
💐 Success comes from hard work, quick learning, and not being afraid to fail

Her advice to us: “The network you create is directly connected to your net worth. Competent people on your team are invaluable.”

Thank you, Kayla, for showing us how tradition and innovation can grow side by side.
