We had the good fortune of connecting with Megan Hunter and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Megan, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
Thought behind my flower/plant shop is more geared towards the fact that this, for me, is therapy. When I diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. I wasn’t able to hold down a job due to obvious reason. I was lost but the one thing I could turn to was my garden. Then it occurred to me, why not have this available for anyone and everyone.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I don’t think having a green thumb can be trained, you either have it or you don’t. Luckily enough for me, I have a green thumb! So plant life is up my alley. Now flowers on the other hand. I have always loved fresh flowers and having them around I think just brightens everything up. However, I learned my techniques while I was working in yachting.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Oh goodness where to start. Thankfully my bestie and I love to dance, we will end the night there. We enjoy trying different cuisines so maybe hit a few restaurants and try a couple different items along with their famous cocktail. The next day we must regroup out on the boat. Nothing cures a hangover better than jumping in the ocean. If there is a great show in town at the local theater or arts center, then it’s must! As all besties know, at the end it’s wind down time, talk about how much we laughed. Of course, look at all the pictures we have taken.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Everyone who has been involved in the past couple years of my life deserve a HUGE shoutout! All the support from my family, friends, my husband for all the ups and downs that come with the territory. My Doctors who continue to save my life. Not only have these wonderful people supported me through my troubles they are behind me 100% with this business. I am so blessed to have the support team that I do.
