Samantha Nass has gone from doing business at home to getting her own storefront at 61 Lawrence St., Saratoga Springs, now the home of Samantha Nass Floral Design.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Florist Samantha Nass\u2014known as Sam\u2014is enjoying the change from an appointment-only studio to a storefront in downtown Saratoga Springs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She opened Samantha Nass Floral Design at 61 Lawrence St. at the end of January.<\/p>\n

She said she considered Valentine\u2019s Day as \u201ca test\u201d for the new venture and, \u201cNow that we\u2019re through Valentine\u2019s Day, spring is knocking on our door.\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So are a lot of people who walk by and walk in. \u201cA lot of people have been very curious about us,\u201d she said and she is pleased to have them come in and look around.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So far, Nass said, business is \u201cgoing great . . .\u00a0 <\/span>a steady flow . . .\u00a0 <\/span>nothing crazy yet.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Potted plants, terrariums, and terra cotta planters are selling especially well. She also offers \u201clots of beautiful orchids\u201d as well as a variety of cut flowers. At last count, she had 46 terrariums planted and ready to go.<\/p>\n

Nass\u2019 previous business concentrated on weddings and other special events. It was housed in the old Elks Club building, a building \u201cwith an old kind of Victorian Saratoga feel,\u201d she said. It worked well as an appointment-only enterprise, but did not lend itself to a retail business. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span>Nass still decorates for weddings and special events and the stock of the Lawrence Street shop offers items that can serve as gifts for members of the wedding party or favors for guests, along with candy, candles, water bottles and travel mugs.<\/p>\n

Everything they sell is wrapped, Nass said, and they offer free delivery in Saratoga Springs. Currently, five people work at Samantha Nass Floral Design.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Come spring, Nass will offer classes in such topics as orchid maintenance, flower arranging, and terrarium creation.<\/p>\n

The florist grew up in Italy and England and worked in banking in New York City. She got married in Saratoga to a man from Niskayuna and, in 2014,\u00a0 <\/span>they moved to Saratoga with their two children, now 12 and 10 years old. She quit her banking job and, in July 2014, started a business of her own.<\/p>\n

The shop is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday. They are closed Sunday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A website is under construction. The telephone number is 518 886-9461.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
