Flower Power: Who We Are.

A passion for the natural world.

As a child growing up on Long Island, NY, Betty Greenspan remembers spending long hours playing in her father’s garden.

“My passion for flowers literally blossomed in that garden,” says Betty. “I spent so many afternoons there learning about the natural world. I still cherish those memories.” Although Betty eventually chose nursing as her career, she never strayed far from the art and science of plant cultivation. She studied horticultural design at The New York Botanical Garden and later became a master gardener, winning numerous awards and accolades for her floral designs.

When Betty moved to Sarasota, FL, in 1991 with her husband and four children, she began creating “permanent” floral arrangements, incorporating live and dried material with artificial elements to create distinctive life-like designs. That hobby soon turned into a passion. Betty turned her passion into A Little Shop of Flowers, a studio dedicated to creating inspired silk designs, water gardens, Ikebana arrangements, and other expressions of nature. As a registered nurse, healing is also close to her heart.

“I combine my medical experience and knowledge of chakra—or spiritual energy—to create arrangements that foster healing. Many of our designs are based on the principles of feng shui, color therapy and vibrational healing modalities. Little Shop is committed to fostering joy, beauty, and harmony.”

In addition to this website, A Little Shop of Flowers’ handcrafted creations are sold at boutiques around the region and at Sarasota’s Downtown Farmer’s Market and the Siesta Key Farmer’s Market.
