Why Florals?
From You Belong Here Owner, Nic Roc:
"During COVID, like most of us, I didn't have work. I had to shut down both of my businesses which was very scary and overwhelming. I felt myself on the verge of a breakdown, full of anxiety of the unknown. Then the civil unrest happened, further impacting my mental and physical state. I pushed myself to focus on creativity. Being a lover of flowers, I thought how fun it would be to just play with flowers as a form of refuge; to feel them, see them, smell them. I began doing floral arrangements and floral art on a weekly basis. It became a practice of self-care and it was the only thing I felt I had full control over in my world. I would find flowers on walks to the park, through neighborhoods, in my backyard, and this hobby quickly turned into my saving grace. I want that for us all. As we make our way back into this "new" but ambiguous world-out of isolation, I am hoping we can find joyful ways to reconnect and celebrate humanity. "
