About

Hello, my name is Elizabeth Missons and I am a deeply knowledgeable horticulture professional with a formal degree and 20 years of hands-on experience, including municipal gardening with the Halifax Regional Municipality. This past summer, I expanded my expertise by working for established independent horticulture businesses alongside seasoned industry veterans. I am highly skilled in plant care, garden design, and floral arrangement, and I bring a strong background in retail customer service and banquet operations from the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation and hospitality roles.

I am looking to bring my lifelong passion for plants to a full-time winter Florist position, ensuring customers receive expert care and beautiful arrangements.
