When Ansley Akin of the Franklin County FFA Chapter in Carnesville, Georgia, placed second in the national FFA floriculture competition, her interest was sparked and she began her own home-run floral business. She first completed a community survey to determine whether a floral shop was needed. Discovering it was wanted, she began with small arrangements such as wreaths and table centerpieces. Today, Akin provides flowers for wedding and wedding showers. She is supported by her parents Kelly and James and her FFA advisors Gary Minyard, Cale Watkins and Owen Thomason.
