I (Pam) came to work at Graves in 1974 after attending OSU's new Floraculture department. After learning design under Mr. & Mrs. John Graves, I became manager under Bob & Sue Maynard in 1989 & became owner of the shop in 1995 with my husband Bobby. I have been an Oklahoma Master Florist (O.M.F.) for over 20 years & continue my education through Teleflora Design schools & shows. I'm the shop's wedding consultant & specialize in sympathy design. While subtlety is an art I've achieved, big & showy work is what I love! I've also had the pleasure of designing for the Zoo Amp for such artists as the Pretenders, Alison Krauss & Stevie Nicks.
Bob came to Graves in 1991 after working at his family business for 20 years and spends his time delivering, keeping the books & entertaining the customers. Come talk hunting with him anytime!
Imogene - Designer
I started out in the flower business sweeping floors 20 years ago and quickly worked my way up to a designer. Almost ten years ago I came to Graves and here I am! While I enjoy working with all the flowers, I think the soft pink roses & carnations are the prettiest. .
Sherri - Designer/ Wedding Assistant
After graduating from OBU with a degree in theatre, I came to Graves looking for work and found a wonderful home! Design elements from theatre meld extraordinarily well with floral design & I've continued my creative education here. I love to push my boundaries by seeking after new floral trends - and the best way to do that is through reading my favorite blogs and social media! If I'm not designing, I'm constantly working to keep the shop's website up to date as well as the rest of our online presence. Can't wait to meet you!
Carla - Designer/ Horticulturist
While I love flower designing, I've been specifically involved with plants over the last 20 years! It all began in high school with Bethel FFA and then I graduated with a degree in horticulture at OSU. After taking time off for family I'm now happy to be back among customers, plants and fresh flowers. I enjoy working with the crew at Graves and love answering all your plant questions! And most importantly: go Cowboys! :)
