MoneyTalks - > Money Talks -> Landscaping meets floral design
Landscaping meets floral design

When you raise your daughter amid the constant dirt and sweat of the landscaping trade, don't be surprised when she turns the other direction and runs straight into the arms of the flower industry.

It's what happened to Diana Klawitter and her husband, who have run their own landscaping business for about the last 15 years and now have plants spanning 3.5 acres. When it came time for their daughter, Amanda Sanders, to select a career, she chose — well, you guessed it: floral design. (These kids today!)

Not that her parents tried to stand in the way. In fact, mother and daughter recently opened a florist together: A House of Flowers, located downtown at 1827 F St., near the intersection with 18th Street. They launched just before Valentine's Day (we're not sure why) and plan to host a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 2 p.m. Tuesday, April 8.

The store specializes in weddings, but that's only part of what goes on there. Centerpieces for charitable events, funerals, FTD — it's a full-service florist. The hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m . Monday through Friday, and on Saturday by appointment. For details, call the store: 326-7000.

(Don't miss the store's Web site, by the way.)
