Extra Post April: EQ Change/ SD Botanical Gardens

I decided to change my Essential Question when I started writing my Research Paper. I discovered that my research was not towards organizing the stores but was more leading towards growth in the stores. The Essential Question was originally: "How can a fruit and flower shop owner-manager best organize and grow her family business?" but now it is "How can a fruit and flower shop owner-manager best grow her family business?". I removed the word organize and created it my first answer.

EQ: How can a fruit and flower shop owner-manager best grow her family business?

ANSWER 1: By organizing in-store operations such as the partnership with 1800Flowers and relationship with employees and drivers.
ANSWER 2: Creating an appealing social media presence to attract customers.
ANSWER 3: Making our store unique by designing new arrangements or product lines.

My question and answers are approved by Mrs. La Russa.

Ever since I started working with our store and training to become a florist, I have discovered a fascination with flowers. My family and I went to the botanical garden at Balboa Park in San Diego over the weekend and I was just in awe at the different species of plants. Obviously, we cannot create arrangements with such delicate and expensive flowers but it helped me by giving me inspiration. I also noticed the displacement of the flowers at the park, which was very different from the way they are usually placed.
