Rossmoor women take venture into floral biz

EverGreen Designs in Rossmoor is a new faux botanicals business that is the brainchild of two Rossmoor residents and stay-at-home moms, Gretchen Benfanti and Priscilla Zehmer. They recently opened and are offering arrangements in an array of sizes and varieties for those who appreciate the beauty and ambience of fresh flowers and succulents but don’t like their impermanence.

“After creating faux botanical arrangements for many years for our family and friends as gifts, we decided to embark on this new adventure together, and are excited about helping design enthusiasts enhance their surroundings in a beautiful and very affordable way,” said Zehmer. “EverGreen Designs was established to share our mutual interest in home décor and flair for creativity with others who recognize the warmth, allure and sense of well-being that florals add to any setting.” 

The business specializes in faux orchid and succulent arrangements that can be customized to accommodate customers’ decorative styles and needs. From simple orchids in unique vases to exotic succulent centerpieces with vines and other natural elements. Each arrangement is hand-made using the high-quality raw materials and craftsmanship. 

Botanical arrangements can be produced using EverGreen Designs’ unique assortment of vintage, new and eclectic containers or customers may order arrangements using their own containers. 

Faux florals are ideal for office décors, dining room accents, weddings and special event centerpieces. They also make excellent prom corsages boutonnieres and bridal bouquets helping for cherished mementos that create lasting memories. Fundraising events also recognize the outstanding value that faux florals and what they bring as raffle/auction items.
