TLDR: This Friday Dogwood Wine & Flowers turns 5 years old!! š¾ š„ š
From the moment we saw the wall of western windows, the dreams could not be contained. What started as a COVID passion project has evolved into our lifeās work.
This little 500sq ft (46.5meters) space has seen many iterations and we are finally where we always dreamed it could be. Your ooos and ahhhs will never get old. Nearly every night to this day, Brant and I stay up late after close, exchanging stories of your appreciation and experiences at Dogwood.
There were times we didnāt know if we could make it. With the break ins, theft, late nights, vandalism, old building complications, slow months, city fees and overwhelmā¦ one gets a little tired. As weāve learned, itās allllllll just part of owning a business. How much we love our shop makes it easier. How much you love our shop makes it worth it.
What we couldnāt have expected was the impact Dogwood would have on building our own village, whilst simultaneously helping YOU find or nurture yours.
You know who you are. We love you.
The gratitude is immeasurable.
Last but absolutely not least, HAPPY 100th birthday this week to The Alberta Rose š¹ š¹theatre
Thank you for buying flowers, enjoying the wine, sharing a story and being the most important element of this special place on Earth.
We are humbled to be in businessš
Gabby, Brant, Afie & Otis
