New Business Model Blooms: Olla Urban Flower Project is carving out a niche in the community, one socially conscious choice at a time

摘要

The Olla Urban Flower Project may be housed in a 126-year-old heritage building, but its approach to business is all about new ideas. The shop's commitment to community is at the heart of everyday decision-making, from which products to purchase and whom to hire to what becomes of the blooms once an event is over. "We're a plant and flower shop that is trying to be socially and environmentally accountable while making really beautiful things," explains owner Megan Branson.
