How was this business started?

Lakewood Flower Market has evolved from a fourth generation wholesale greenhouse into its current retail operation owned by me and my husband Michael. Michael and I decided that we wanted to start a business together. I had experience with managing a team and running operations from my previous job, and Michael had industry experience and plant knowledge. An opportunity came up that allowed us to open up in the former Anderson’s Toledo garden center and we were in business.

What inspired you to enter into this field? Michael: Partially being raised in the business has developed my interest in horticulture. I have also always wanted to be an entrepreneur and really enjoy providing my community with quality plants from local growers in the Toledo area.
