CHEV GIRL BOSS QUEEN Hi, I’m Chev! The owner, founder and Boss Lady of Flowers in the Towers! When I moved to Charters Towers in 2014, I never could have dreamed that I would be where I am today. What just started out as a hobby, had so much more dream behind it! Let me take you for a quick a trip down memory lane. In January 2016 I began creating magical bouquets and arrangements for Wedding’s from the floor of my bedroom at home and this is where Hooked on Wedding Florals began. Fast forward 2 years, endless weddings, and long ass nights, my bedroom floor was not cutting it anymore, so I finally relocated my hobby to a shop front on Hackett Terrace in December 2018. Fast forward another 2 years, and this quirky little shopfront had finally run out of room too for my ever growing business. This is when I made the biggest decision of my life; to follow my dreams and bring something to Charters Towers that was fresh, upbeat and unique, like no one had ever done here before. I purchased 177 Gill Street, put some holes in the walls, threw pink paint around everywhere, and opened Coffee & Flowers in the Towers in February 2021. The idea of having a coffee, gift and flower shop in the one vicinity couldn’t go any more perfectly! Like, Duh, what more could a girl want! One stop shop, right? Every single day I get to meet different people, create beautiful floral arrangements, drink endless coffee, and live the dream of being a Girl Boss. Goals, right? So that’s me, Chev - “JUST A GIRL BOSS BUILDING HER EMPIRE” How long have you been a qualified Florist?I smashed out my Traineeship within 12 months, starting it in 2003 and finishing in 2004. So it’s been a hot minute since then I guess. What is your favourite flower? Tell us one thing about you that we should know. |
