Roses All Around

Nelda’s following up mom Christa’s 40ish years in posie packaging. Ya’ gotta meet her staff of super talented people such as partner Kristen Hanson (a newly minted MBA at the McCombs School of Business at UT Austin), a reappearance of Lindsey Adams (graduating Texas A&M with her master’s degree in floriculture) and recent Benz School of Floral Design grad Lorraine Garcia.

That bouquet of talented gals is responsible for the many lovely roses that are circulating ’round the Baby Apple.
