Business Spotlight

Petals That Inspire

Amanda Lorenzetti is the founder and "Flower Lady" behind Petals That Inspire & The Flourish Studio. Amanda has a background in the hospitality industry & sales where she worked for 8 years prior to venturing full-time into social entrepreneurship. Originally from the Northeast, Amanda began her career as a floral and event designer and always thought she would go back to flowers when she retired. Upon participating in GiveBackHack in 2019 and discovering the concept of Social Enterprise, she found she could combine her passion for flowers while supporting members of the community. With a strong skill set anchored in sales, marketing and business operations; entrepreneurship was a natural fit! She left her fulltime career in November of 2021 and since then has been dedicated to growing the business and community impact of Petals That Inspire.

Now five years later, Petals That Inspire is in "Full Bloom" with The Flourish Studio (located at 655 North Cassady Ave), a growing team of 5 and an expanding workforce development program for young adults overcoming barriers to employment. Petals now provides workforce development to upwards of two dozen students a week where they provide paid employment, job skill training and other supportive resources such as lunch and bus passes. This work in the community is directly supported by their business model where they offer floral design classes (in studio and around columbus), floral subscriptions and event florals. You can also visit The Flourish Studio for Floral Fridays where they are open to the public from 11am - 5pm every Friday with bouquets available for purchase that are made by the students in their program. You can learn more by visiting www.Petalsthatinspire.com or go pay them a visit at 655 North Cassady Ave!
