AIMEE WILLIAMS - Owner
From a very young age I knew I was in love with floristry, being a florist was what I wanted to be when I grew up. When I left school (many moons ago) I was blessed to live that dream, learning creative techniques & skills and making many life long florist friends along the way but as life takes each of us on our own personal journey, mine from growing and raising a beautiful family to adventures on a new path of business administration, to relocation (South Island born & raised) I was again blessed to find my way back to doing what I love here in beautiful Northland at Mint Floral and as Jasmine was getting ready to pursue the next endeavours in her story, I decided to realize another dream of mine, owning my own Florist shop and the extra bonus of continuing the creative beautifully kind culture of Mint Floral.
