Carmen Gonzalez is a local homemaker who works part time making floral arrangements out of her South Tampa house, which means her clients avoid overhead charges and save a chunk of change. Plus, she’s professional, courteous, able to meet deadlines and has a great sense of color and design. Come to her with an idea of the hues you want to use and she’ll promptly suggest several ideas and blossom possibilities, and bring out an album filled with photos of her previous creations: corsages, bouquets, centerpieces, boutonnieres and the like. An absolute pleasure to do business with. 813-286-0606
