Our reputation in the floral industry is respected and trusted in Vancouver, and the floristry experience between all of us spans a great number of years. The connection we share with our past students and the joy and happiness we feel to see them go on to succeed in the floral industry is so rewarding that we love to continue to share our knowledge.
About Us
Maureen Sullivan
After successfully owning Thomas Hobbs Florist for 22 years, Maureen carefully decided to sell the shop. With her desire to share her passion and knowledge of flowers she decided to open the flower school along with her sister Kathleen 14 years ago. That is where Maureen now wants to concentrate her time, adding some new exciting classes with varying schedules.
Kathleen Fleming
Kathleen brings her many years of managerial and creative prowess to the sister team. Like all of the siblings, her Mom taught her to sew at a young age sparking her passion for being creative. With a diverse background and over two decades in the floral industry Kathleen has a keen eye for design and a uniquely skilled innovative mindset.
Trish Beck
With a great new venue for classes that includes enough space for a retail presence on Main Street, Trish joined the sister duo and is now part of the team. Trish, another sister has come full circle. She originally worked with Maureen in the floral industry, then moved on to the advertising world. She brings many creative talents to both the school and store front alike.
Sharon Chesworth
Sharon is the fourth and final sister to come on board after 36 years in financial services. Throughout her career Sharon was known for providing exceptional customer service by consistently exceeding customer expectations. With the addition of her creativity and unique skill set Sharon is beyond excited to finally be part of the ‘sister’ team.
