Ford’s Flowers

I can still remember the first taste . Myrtle beach 2009. My first trip through a Chic Fil A Drive Thru. To this day… every trip to PA …. “Ooooohhhhh we get to go to Chic Fil A.!” Gotta go to Columbus …. “Yes we get to go to Chic Fil A!” Dance comp weekends , travel baseball , AAU Basketball …”Hey Siri where’s the closest Chic Fil A?” No more driving far and away for the best chicken in the land . We are honored to be a part of this historic day!!! I’ve always admired how Chic Fil A values fresh floral design in their restaurants ! Flowers add such class and style to any space especially in a dining room setting . Thank you for this opportunity and we cannot wait to proudly serve the Zanesville community a little flower freshness with their fab meal. 🐄 2 Days til CHIKN🐄

It’s with great sadness we announce the passing of our sweet Sue Labaki- a local floral industry icon !
Sue was a veteran to the industry when I took over Fords. With so much uncertainty in this new endeavor she mentored me , provided so much kindness and support and even FED ME! She would bring in her dinners , heat them up for me in such a nurturing way making it feel like home .💛 With so much uncertainty in this new industry she was always a constant in the ever changing environment of the floral shop. She - like me - was an artist! 🧑‍🎨 She would doodle on her papers , draw pretty little things and design the most creative floral retail for the shop. I was always (and still am) so proud of the way most of what we sell is hand crafted by talented artisans . Pieces and parts , putting color and texture together to create one of a kind designs . I still can’t make a bow 😂 blasphemy for a floral shop owner … but with ladies like her … I didn’t need to ! We will all miss her on this earth but rejoice in the fact that she’s arrived home with her Lord and Savior . On behalf of all current and former Fords Staff we extend our deepest condolences to her daughters and family on the loss of a Mother, a Wife, a Grandmother and Friend. Full obituary can be viewed on The Bryan Hardwick Funeral Home website. Fly high Sue we love you!!!😘 💕

Thank you to Shrivers Hospice Foundation and EmpowerHER Alliance! We love creating COOL STUFF !!! It’s a true joy to be able to incorporate the art and creativity into each piece . Team Fords you guys are amazing . Collaborating and coming up with the carousels was the most fun challenge ! Peggy worked so tediously on the mechanics of the toppers … 👌 Two events and three brides in one week kept us hopping!
