Katy Dalton Acquires Fairfield Floral Business, Launches Blossoms & Blooms - Fairfield Sun Times

Fairfield High School in 1998. She has an associate degree in Interior Design from MSU-COT and she received her certificate in floral design from The Floral Design Institute in Portland, Oregon.  Over the years Katy has worked at several different floral shops in the area: Electric City Conservatory, Kranz Flower and Gifts, and Great Falls Floral. She also worked at Bitterroot Floral in Missoula. When Joan Myrhe, at In The Garden Floral, needed extra help during the holidays or while she was on vacation Katy was there to step in.Katy plans to serve the same broad area as Joan did, making deliveries within Fairfield, as well as Augusta, Choteau, Power and the Sun River Valley.Asked what flowers were most popular, based on her experience, Katy told the Sun Times that roses and lilies are always popular. Some flowers are tied to the seasons, with tulips and daffodils being popular in the spring while sunflowers are a big seller during the summer months.For those who are clueless as to what flowers are appropriate for an occasion, Katy says there are easy solutions. “Anyone can go to a florist’s website and find an arrangement they like and just send me the website address, or just tell me what they like – the type of flowers and the colors.” Katy said that she can take her cues for a great floral design just by being told what colors a person enjoys most.
