(L to R -Barney, Mae, Dean, & Lisa)
Mae was a stay at home mom until her three children had graduated high school and gone off to college. In 1985 she became interested in floral design and began doing small design work out of her garage. Her talents grew as did her home business. Soon her business grew from the garage and into the house. At that point, her husband Barney suggested she should open a store front.
In March of 1987, Designer Flower Center was born. With a small business loan Mae opened her business with the help of Barney and her children, Lisa and Dean.
Thirty two years later, Designer Flower Center has grown into a 10,000 sq. ft. showroom/ warehouse that services Fresno and the neighboring central valley with Home Decor, Gift, and Florist Supplies.
Today, Lisa manages our Gift and Home Decor portion of the business while Dean handles the Florist Supplies and Office. When school is not in session you will often see Garrett, Trey, Nolan, and Amanda - the next generation- helping at store.
