Gina had a great time talking with Malcolm White and Carol Puckett Palmer about her award winning book, The Blooming Table, as well as her start in floral design and her shop, Gina Diamond’s Flower Co.
They also covered the Great Mayonnaise Debate (Duke’s, Hellman’s or Blue Plate - what team are you on??), tomato sandwiches, recipes, Gina’s Italian roots and a lot more.
