Fern & Frond VK Accelerate Participant

Chelsea, owner of Fern & Frond, came to VK after relocating to Kamloops, where she learned about matching her unique products and services to the needs and desires of her specific target market. Today, Fern & Frond floral studio offers graceful seasonal floral arrangements for every day, gift giving, special occasions, weddings centerpieces and bouquets that are breathtaking.
The VK Accelerate program helped me take my growing home-based business into a retail store front. I had been writing my business plan on and off for years and VK provided me the guidance, support, and accountability to complete my plan and put it into action. I was then able to open my studio storefront in just a couple of months, and they really helped me avoid some of the common challenges first time shop owner’s encounter.
