Shop Local: Everbloom Design

Everbloom Design is picture-perfect flower, plant, and gift shop on Broad Avenue in Memphis.

One of the coolest things about Memphis’ creative community is that we are all 1 - 3 degrees separated from each other, so over the years we are bound to connect at some point at an event or through a mutual friend.

I first met Kristin Wolter-Canfield back in 2014 when she held a DIY floral design workshop that I covered on her blog. It was a pop-up event at Propcellar, so to see her bloom into her own space in the Broad Avenue Art District has been a delight.

As soon as you walk in, it’s immediately recognizable as a labor of love and as a commitment to authenticity.

Keep reading for my Q&A with the owners and more information about the games and story behind the shop.

Mid-South Day Trip Idea: The Rosemark-Kerrville Heritage Loop

Ed. Note: Here's a guest blog from historic preservationist Kelsey Lamkin, who took a day trip on the Rosemark-Kerrville Heritage Loop. 

Like most of you, I stuck close to home this past year. I’ve walked every street and explored every alley in my neighborhood, wearing down the sidewalks along with my neighbors hoping to flatten the curve. And now that more people are vaccinated, myself included, I am more than ready to expand my travel radius and venture a little farther from home!
