History
Established in 2020.
January 20, 2020 I took the leap of faith and started Your Local Florist in Palo Alto, Ca. Originally supposed to be a collab with another Florist’s retail space, Covid-19 came and the retail location was not necessary at the time.
Being a single mom with two young children at home, having to navigate Zoom class, there was no time to contemplate what else I could do.
I hastily set up shop in my carport in East Palo Alto, and after some time I moved the business into the backyard under a large tent, like the ones used at farmers markets.
For the next 4 yrs, I delivered successfully and provided my services to my customers from that location. All with the help of a part time delivery driver, and every Valentine’s day & Mother’s day, my devoted mom and a few close friends.
December 20, 2024 we moved from EPA to San Jose. This location offers a garage shop setup and a busy street across from Westgate mall.
The future plans are to establish a retail location but for now we are here. Ty!
Meet the Business Owner: Kannadi R.
I have over 16+ years of floral design experience and started working in the floral industry at the age of 14, scrubbing buckets and sweeping floors.
Overtime, I learned how to wrap and arrange flowers by watching the designers and through my own trial and error. I also have a natural ability for design and a keen eye for detail.
I have completed many floral masterclasses and I am always interested in learning the latest trends in the floral industry.
I have worked many types of jobs throughout my life, earned my AA in CSU Studies from SJCC, and my BA in Psychology from SJSU, I also hold a car salespersons license.
My true passion however, is and always has been, flowers.
