About Joie ….
Over the years, we have been extraordinarily lucky to find talented folks that have
added much to both our business and our lives. Joie came to work at The Growers
Exchange in the mid-90’s. She was a gifted art student who was working her way
through college – her talents didn’t stop at art. She was a fabulous flower arranger and
she became the ‘go to ‘ girl for customers looking for flower arrangements that were art!
Like a cool summer breeze, Joie came in and out of our lives – she eventually returned as
manager of the store until we decided to close our doors. Without her genius, as well as
youth, we would never have made it into cyber space!
When the time came for her to move on, she built her own business in the Richmond
area, Gone To Pot, and created amazing flowering containers that graced yards and
gardens all over the area. Watching her grow, from a talented student, to a gifted busi-
ness woman to a loving wife and mother, has been our pleasure. She has now moved
north and is attempting to garden in Zone 4. But, she is always a part of The Growers
Exchange and her lovely watercolors grace our site. Thanks Joie!
