Field of Flowers, Boca Raton

Field of Flowers' founder, Donn F. Flipse, didn't know it then, but he began a life of selling flowers back when he was a mere eight years old. He started off by sweeping up the fallen petals at his family's flower shop. Over time, he moved up in rank, delivering arrangements to their destination as soon as he got his license. After graduating college, he almost turned his back on the family business, but after mentoring under one of the shop's floral designers, he realized it was in his blood.

After this realization, he couldn't help but open his own shop—Field of Flowers. The business has serviced forlorn husbands and caring family memebers with one of the largest selections of fresh-cut flowers, plants, and floral and plant arrangements in South Florida since 1990. Each location even features a FlowerBar, which hosts basic, intermediate, and advanced sessions with step-by-step instruction for those who wish to craft their own floral designs.
