We had the good fortune of connecting with Kamila Mosca and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kamila, how does your business help the community?
We are a part of people’s lives from the very beginning to the very end.
The very first gift one gets is flowers and when one bids farewell it’s also flowers.

Whether it’s a newborn in the family, graduation lei, prom flowers, bridesmaids bouquet or a sympathy arrangement – we are there supporting people in their important moments and help them make it more memorable!

We support local organizations as much as we can – we donate flowers and try to make people smile through our unique floral designs.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
We are a very well established business in Poway, California. We have been serving our customers since 1984 and still counting. I am proud of what the shop stands for – high quality products, making someone’s day and being there for people and their needs – whether it’s a birthday arrangement or wedding flowers.
I learned that it’s important to count on others and trust others as much as I trust in myself – only teamwork in this business can make dreams work!

We are a small business with great aspirations – we want to reach as many homes as possible and make everyone smile with our floral art.

We have just won two amazing awards – Small Business of the Year and Customer Commitment! We are absolutely thrilled.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I’d love to take them for a stroll down in La Jolla, drink boba tea and watch the seals. Then head on a hike to Lake Miramar and have a wee picnic there. When it comes to food Mira Mesa is a paradise, so it Little Italy. There’s a small restaurant called Pomegranate that takes me back to my favorite food – Eastern European! I highly recommend this place, before or after the Lafayette Hotel is a great place to hang out too.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Anne Breight – great Ramona lady who makes amazing handmade cards and her husbands is also artsy!
