Who is EFGM

My name is Barb Eppolito. I have been in the floral business for over 20 years. I have worked at the retail end, done merchandising, and eventually wound up working as a wholesale floral sales  rep as well as a certified Floral Designer. This gave me great experience in learning where the different flowers came from and learning which flowers were the best for my customers. As an example I have begun ordering my roses from Ecuador.The average rose is a 40 cm rose that you can find at you typical grocery store. My roses are 70cm and wind up being bigger than the size of your fist. The beautiful part of this is it allows me to create better arrangements and also allows me to show just how beautiful a rose can be. I have been a Floral Designer in excess of over 20 years. In that time I have been trained by one mentor who taught me how to do European hand tied Bouquets. She also taught me so much about floral design that today I thank her for all her work  with me. I have a formal education at Prairie State College, and American Floral Arts School. In my work experience I have enjoyed creating many arrangements for weddings, funerals, special  occasions and feel that I can help any customer to receive all of their floral needs met due to my vast experience. If you would like to have a meeting with me and discuss your floral needs feel free to contact me at 866-478-1244 or stop by my shop at 144 Old McHenry Rd in Long Grove. I look forward to meeting with you and helping you to put some sunshine in your life by creating the most beautiful floral arrangements possible.
