Summary
<p>Farmgirl Flowers was launched back in 2010 as a one-woman-show when founder and CEO Christina Stembel began working from her dining room table with a vision to change the way people buy flowers online. Her company says its burlap-wrapped bouquets and vase arrangements are "designed to make recipients feel seen, loved, and celebrated."<br />Now as the company celebrates its 15th anniversary, its leader is doubling down on her commitment to build for growth rather than building to sell.
