Even though the three companies are separate, our staff crosses over a lot. We finally found our new home here on Pecan in 2018, and are loving being immersed in the Plaza Midwood neighborhood.Īnd recently in September of 2019 we were able to open Rosie’s Wine Garden at our old space at McGill. Our flower business was growing exponentially, too, so we started looking for the perfect space to move to. My husband has been a huge part in the restructuring of the company and in overseeing business operations. (the flower shop) and Nectar Events (our event management company). This led to branching our company off into a couple of companies. So I created wedding packages and we’ve been booked solid every year since. The wedding industry is a booming industry in Charlotte, and McGill could fill a niche that no other venue in Charlotte could offer. I remember thinking, “I’m going to have to quit my other job because I just don’t have time to be anywhere else.” By this time, the McGill Rose Garden board of directors had asked me if I’d be interested in overseeing event management for the garden. Then in 2010, I had the opportunity to take over the rent on the building. It’s been such an organic growth (no pun intended) and has grown beyond my wildest imagination! I went from renting a countertop to renting a small room in the building at McGill. Q: How has Nectar grown and evolved since 2007? It seemed like an obvious fit and so I rented counter space from him and was there for a few hours a week. He had just opened the McGill Garden Shop and called me to see if I would be interested in having fresh flowers there. One of those deliveries went to what used to be Georgetown Spa and Garrett Ladue worked there. In 2007, I created the company and delivered 10 small arrangements with business cards attached to small businesses throughout Plaza Midwood. Q: Tell us the story behind the McGill Rose Garden-how did you come to set up shop there? I did this on the side for the next four years until I realized my clientele had grown, and I should probably make a legit company out of it. Once my friends found out I could design, I started getting requests for birthdays and small parties, and I landed a restaurant as a client. I worked there for 9 months or so and learned a lot from the designers there. I drove around Charlotte to different shops, but only applied at Elizabeth House. I was looking for a part-time job to supplement my income and thought working at a flower shop sounded fun. We sat down with her to discuss all things floral design, owning a small business, and her tips for Valentine’s Day florals. Our Notable Woman for February is Karisa Pennell, owner of Nectar Floral Designs.

Flowers and plants are also the go-to for livening up a space, and giving a room a whole new feel without a full redesign. A bouquet of flowers can be used to express so many emotions, from love and appreciation, to sympathy and a reminder of hope.
While affections tend to bloom during the month of February, we have another bloom in mind-flowers. Do you know someone you think we should feature? Let us know in the comments!
We want to spotlight those who are shaping where we live and giving back to our neighborhood.
Throughout the year, we’ll be highlighting notable women in our community.
