Tickled Floral is owned by Wendy Larson. She loves flowers, gifts, and the challenge of turning a vision into reality. Wendy grew up in a flower shop owned by her mother and aunt. The shop was located in her aunt’s basement, and it was there that she played with scrapped leaves and petals and learned how to make the perfect ribbon bow. After graduating from University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology, Wendy worked as a floral designer and eventually ventured off to start her own business. Tickled Floral is located in Sherwood Park, Alberta.
