Jena Gladding
Florist

I own a high end Flower shop in Lynnwood, WA. We do everything from high end corporate and real estate staging arrangments to cookie cutter FTD and Teleflora. Color Your Life has been around for 16 years serving Snohomish and King County.

I am a great people person. I am very creative and enjoy being crafty. I have a good business sense as well. Hopefully my next best thing I do will to combine the two of these skills and open my own flower and gift shop. I love seeing the smiling faces of happy people when they receive my creations. I help friends, family, and clients get flowers out worldwide. The clients I work with are what make me happy and give me the satisfaction of knowing I am doing what I meant to do!

That right there is a loaded question! Lets keep this simple and within grasp for now. I am looking to network with other flower shops and local business owners to see how we can all work together!

I have an AA in business MGMT. I went to culinary school to release my creative side but my interests lie in the floral industry.

I have many years of mgmt experience. I have worked at the flower shop I am currently at for a year now. I handle accounts payable and receivable, order mgmt, wedding and party consults, all th flower arranging, ordering, human resource issues including hiring and firing. I basically own the business without making the money I should. I did silk flower design for about 3 years and sold my arrangments at craft fairs but never realized till now that this is where I should be making my living.
