No college degree but she did have 49K in savings and that’s how Farmgirl Flowers was planted firmly in the ground.
Christina shares all of her tips and transparent insights on how she grew Farmgirl Flowers from nothing to an estimated projected 30M this year. She talks about her grassroots marketing that has grown the company, why and how to get started without investor money, and much more.
