Meet our Florist Nicole!!! @spadaflora From field to vase, SpadaFlora is committed to the belief that the symbiotic relationship between human and cosmos can be felt and witnessed in one of its deepest forms when one connects with nature through flora. Their flora has been featured in Architectural Digest, The New York Times and in the Museum of Modern Art for The Wall Street Journal. SpadaFlora ventures to lay the petaled foundation for the viewer to experience the highest levels of Orenda, an extraordinary invisible power believed by the Iroquois Indians to pervade in varying degrees all animate and inanimate natural objects as a transmissible spiritual energy. Come see her prearrangements or select one of your own at Pittstown Pots and Blooms Saturday May 9 from 10-3 368 Oak Grove Rd Pittstown NJ
