Jaidyn Crumby is a senior at Fort Scott High School and has turned a passion into a business.
“I’m currently taking floriculture classes and fell in love with the art of floral design,” she said. “So I decided to try and start my own little operation.”
“I started taking a floriculture class through the high school’s FFA chapter last year and loved it,” she said. “Sydney Cullison is my teacher and without her, this whole thing would not be possible. She taught me that it’s ok to mess up because you can always fix it.”
“Floral design is an art and it takes patience. Ms. Cullison taught me that it is all trial and error and that you can’t get frustrated if something doesn’t work the first time you try.”
“I have been making arrangements for my friends and family just for birthdays or holidays for a while and my dad saw the passion I had and helped me start my business. I love creating something for someone that will just instantly put a smile on their face.”
“My Dad is Zac Crumby, my mom is Stephanie Weddle, and my stepmom is Amanda Crumby.”
She makes all of the arrangements from her home and orders flowers in bulk online.
“Valentine’s Day will be my first preorder so I will use it as a test run to hopefully better my business in the future.”
After high school, she plans to attend college and major in agriculture business, specifically crop and soil management, and minor in plant and soil science.
“After attaining my bachelor’s degree I plan to attend Cleveland University in Kansas City to get my doctorate degree in Chiropractics.”
How To Order
