Our Story

Our founder, Jennifer Awiza, has always had a deep love affair with flowers. From childhood memories of picking neighborhood blooms with her grandpa to her later years serving in the United States Navy, flowers have been an integral part of her life. After 11 years in IT, Jennifer finally followed her true calling into floristry, studying under the esteemed TJ Montague of Garden Party Designs. Under TJ's mentorship, Jennifer honed her skills and expanded her floral horizons, eventually opening her own studio, Jenn's Sticks and Stems. Today, Jennifer tends to her own floral studio and secret garden, bringing her passion and creativity to every event.
