Pam & Bob - Owners
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 16 years ago and quickly
worked my way up to a designer. Five 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 in 2006 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. My favorite arrangements to fix are in the more modern cubes & bubble bowls and when not designing I keep the shop's website up to date.

Jill - Sales/ Designer
I ended up at Graves by chance after a casual conversation with Pam -- I just
had a baby and had to leave the corporate environment behind. So she took a chance on a paper pusher and I have thoroughly enjoyed being here! Decorating plants is my
specialty and I also love cube arrangements.

Cara - Sales/ Designer
I hang out at Graves when I'm not at kids' high school basketball or
baseball functions. I also serve as resident "purple" coordinator. I knew
nothing about flowers when I was introduced to Graves by a friend, but am
enjoying learning a lot - and somebody has to raz the delivery boys!

Carla - Sales/ Designer
Just in time for the holidays, I joined Graves in November, working as a
part time florist (and full time mom). I've been involved with horticulture
since high school in the Bethel FFA and then at OSU. I've been involved in
horticulture over the last 20 years in different areas. I'm still learning the
ropes here and enjoying being part of the crew! I'm glad to be back working with
flowers and getting to know the customers. Go Cowboys! :)
