Joanne LaVassar is the baby of the six LaVassar siblings, who all make up the shop's owners. She grew up in the flower shop, designing for customers as early as elementary school in the 1960's. The shop was started in her parent's basement 5 years before it opened. At 5 years old she remembers answering the home phone, "Thank you for calling LaVassar Florists. How may I help you?" Joanne was even working on wedding flowers in the 60's, and did floral demonstrations for the local garden club. (The old ladies loved her!)
Joanne worked as a Real Estate Agent, but found she missed working at the family business. She believes that her customer service comes from her years working for Nordstrom's Flagship store.
Joanne considers herself a "Floral Engineer". If there is a floral challenge, she is the expert to consult.
