We had the good fortune of connecting with Carol Ruffin and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Carol, can you share a quote or affirmation with us?
Work HARD Pray HARD
No Drama
I live my life by this
It helps me stay on course

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
What sets us apart is our unique style and our interpretation of beauty through flowers..Recently we started our floral academy it is one of the things I always wanted to do I am happy to announce it’s our second year it is going great it is so nice to be able to teach floral design and inspire others to see the beauty in flowers..I’m excited because the classes are full. Starting a business is never easy but very rewarding when your vision comes to life.I had to learn to be patient with myself and others because nothing happens overnight.I am still on my journey to train at least 100 new floral designers in this city. And we are well on our way.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
First we would visit my studio and then go to lunch at one of my favorite restaurant.. Then I would take them to show them downtown Cincinnati we would go to the zoo and the Art museum. Take them to a game Reds or the Bengals depending on what time of the year..Check out the Banks and enjoy some of the new restaurants in the city.Then see what’s at our theaters.. Go to the different parks .Do a dinner cruise.
