Need a Florist for prom or homecoming?

Hire my girl, Leighann tindle!

I've been friends with Leighann for years and have seen her build her business from the ground up (PUN TOTALLY INTENDED). Her love of gardening and her love of people harmonize so beautifully through the flower arrangements she creates. Her flowers are gorgeous and I HIGHLY recommend her!

Reach out to Leighann here!
