Happy Go Lucky Plants FINALLY has a Flower Shop in Randleman

Several folks in Liberty know Julie and her Happy Go Lucky Plants. Her family originally hail from good ‘ol Kimesville. She frequently cruises into Liberty to visit with our folk and get her supplies here. She says “I find any excuse to come back home for a bit.” On one of her visits to Liberty last year, Julie met and became friends with one of Liberty’s shop keepers, Mama Carol of Awesome Finds. Julie says Carol has been a fine mentor and good sounding board of advice for our Julie.

While talking with Julie, we found out a few interes_ng morsels of informa_on like she started her business with her S_mulus Checks. Yes, that’s right! Something good did come from our tax dollars.

She leC working at a local farm office (the same year COVID hit) to be home, close to her aging parents, selling plants, trees and shrubs. A lifle country church next door to her home let her work out of their fellowship hall and on their grounds. She set-up at markets when she could and adver_sed on Facebook.

Julie has spent two years working out of the church and has now, with the money she’s saved, opened a Flower Shop in Randleman. She makes fantas_c bouquets, memorial arrangements and in the Spring will be selling her vegetable trays and a few select plants, trees and shrubs. She sources her materials locally and has a giC shop completely stocked with local vendors like Longleaf Hemp (farmed in Randolph and Chatham Coun_es), CMB Treasures (Pleasant Garden) and the Equivalent Exchange (Randolph County)

The Flower Shop opened its door January 10th and appears to do be doing very well indeed. If you have a minute, pop-in to introduce yourself and say ‘hello’. She is always on the look-out for other home-folk from Liberty. We want to wish Happy Go Lucky Plants all the best from everyone back home. The Flower Shop is located at 329 S. Main Street, Randleman N.C. 27317
