"I attended a networking event at Flourish and it was fabulous. I loved meeting so many forward thinking women and the space was beautiful. Laura and Shelley were so kind, attentive, and generous with sharing and problem solving using their unique entrepreneurial backgrounds during a round table discussion with the attendees. Would highly recommend!"

"Flourish is a beautiful space! I rented part of the space for an hour to do a photo shoot for work pictures. Lots of natural light which was great for pics. Easy to schedule and great communication with owner to make the reservation seamless."

Marci

"Perfect space for ANYTHING! I've had photoshoots here, events here, and even come twice a week to meet with my team. The space is stunning and I couldn't recommend it more. The owner Laura is the sweetest human ever AND you can bring your furry friends!"
