When Southern Grace Enterprises owners Tracy Youngblood-McDaniel and Merilynn Woodfin need more fresh flowers for their shop, they make a quick phone call and have some in hand in as few as 10 minutes.
Southern Grace Enterprises purchases flowers from local growers for its floral sales business.
McDaniel and Woodfin call it a farm-to-floral approach.
