#WINSTON FLOWERS NEAR ME FREE#

In my career I have been the area manager for Pottery Barn and Williams Sonoma retail stores, a middle school Spanish teacher in Newton and now the co-owner and Director of Operations for New Leaf Flores. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Spanish language and literature from UMass Amherst and studied fine art at the Museum School. This early introduction to plants, flowers and the rhythm of the seasons instilled in me an appreciation for nature, gardening and farming.

In the Spring, Summer and Autumn our mother pressed us into service as free labor for her extensive vegetable and ornamental garden. I am originally from a large family in rural western Massachusetts, the fifth of seven children and son of an avid gardener. I enjoy working with each client to share my enthusiasm and knowledge and through my work and personal interactions strive every day to be a more creative designer and a better person.

Now as the co-owner of New Leaf flores, I am excited to share my range of talents and skills with my local community and the wider world. Since then, I have been fascinated, intrigued and inspired by the infinite variety and beauty of nature I have always attributed this to my upbringing. I was hired at Winston Flowers as a part time helper one day before Valentine’s Day and immediately fell in love with the industry. Years later, after successful careers in customer service and social work, I discovered my passion and talent for all things related to flowers and floral design. At age 20, I moved to the United States and brought with me love for my country and for my home city. I was born and raised in Medellin Colombia, “The City of Eternal Spring.” I grew up surrounded by lush greenery and flowers year round.
