Gloria Sims

Gloria Sims grew up surrounded by flowers in beautiful Asheville, North Carolina.  Now 38, she's spent over 15 years as a professional florist.  Gloria just loves flowers - she learned all about them from her grandma as a little girl.  After studying Horticulture in college, Gloria worked in some really nice flower shops.  Her creative arrangements and great relationships with customers made her a popular florist around town, and in 2023 Gloria decided to combine her passion for writing with her knowledge of flowers.  She started a website, FloristEmpire. com, to share tips on flower delivery, floral design and plant care.  Through the site, Gloria hopes to spread her enthusiasm for flowers with everyone.   Gloria has a warm, friendly way of writing that shows how much she loves flowers and plants.  She uses her personal experience plus lots of research to write helpful stuff that's easy to relate to.  If she's explaining when different flowers bloom or giving tips on picking the perfect flower delivery, her writing really connects with newbies and seasoned flower fans alike.   Some of her published works: * Blooms of Joy: A Guide to Choosing and Arranging Flowers - A very thorough guide to floral arranging and what different flowers represent.   * The Green Thumb: Essential Plant Care Tips for Beginners - A beginner-friendly handbook with practical tips on taking care of all kinds of plants.  * Floral Express: Navigating the World of Online Flower Delivery - A thoughtful look at online flower delivery services with reviews, comparisons, and advice for customers.    Gloria keeps exploring the always changing world of flowers and plants, excited to share what she discovers and her passion with readers.
