About Sage Advice Floral Company
My name is Trisha Coffey and I love flowers! Just ask me and I will tell you more than you may ever want to know. But more than anything, I love to share the experiences of flowers with everyone.
I truly believe that we all need simple ways to bring happiness into our lives and the lives of the people around us.
I graduated from a small liberal arts college with a BA in English Education. After 4 years of teaching High School English, I was looking for a change. I enrolled in a Masters Program and took a job at a local flower shop. Even though I could only name a handful of flowers, I realized that I would never go back to teaching.
Over the past 20 years, I have honed my skills and knowledge. I have worked in a variety of retail flower shops, I even spent 7 years as a manager. I spent 5 years at a greenhouse and learned so much about plants that I now have an almost unhealthy relationship with my garden. I also freelance for some of Chicago’s best event companies. Now, I’m merging education with flowers to build my own business.
Flowers make people happy.
