Thank you, Daisy Jane, for brightening our lives

A little more than two years ago, local TV reporter Megan Moore decided to leave the news business and start her own business, a home delivery and pop-up floral shop. Inspired by a similar florist-on-wheels in Nashville, TN, Amelia's Flower Truck, Megan found a vintage Ford Econoline truck and Daisy Jane’s was born in the spring of 2019.

Over the last two years, Daisy Jane has expanded from one truck to two (Pearl Rose is the new addition), and to a physical store in East Walnut Hills. In between Megan has taught flower arrangement classes, popped up at festivals and events (when we had them), and generally brought smiles to greater Cincinnati when an unexpected bouquet or arrangement appears.

In one of her early blogs on her website, Megan writes, “I believe it’s the little things that change hearts and can change the course of someone’s day. Small intentional gestures matter. Showing someone that you see them. Showing them that they are thought of, I believe goes a long way.”

Daisy Jane has expanded in the last few months to contactless delivery, DIY kits and related items, such as candles and cards. Along the way the business has garnered a host of fans and clients who believe that a bouquet or an arrangement, especially unexpected, can brighten the moment for those of us who are pandemic and winter-weary and need some cheer.

So thank you, Daisy Jane (and sister Pearl Rose) for bringing smiles to our faces and flowers to our door. Whether it’s Valentine’s Day or a random Tuesday, your gifts are a welcome touch of spring and a promise of brighter days to come.
