Meet The Team

Meet Leslie Hayes (Owner/Florist)

Hello, I'm Leslie Hayes, the proud owner and visionary behind Petals to Go. I am a proud graduate of Canyon High School, the class of 2005. I pursued my passion for design by attending The University Of The Incarnate Word, where I received my degree in Fashion Management in 2010. In 2019, I embarked on a journey that has since transformed a simple flower delivery service into a destination where floral artistry meets curated elegance.

From the moment I took the reins, my goal has been to breathe new life into this establishment. It's been a labor of love, as I've lovingly revamped and expanded Petals to Go into something truly unique. Today, when you step through our doors, you'll find a haven of beauty and creativity that goes beyond traditional floristry. My passion truly lies in the world of flowers. It's my number one priority, right below ensuring that the shop runs smoothly on a daily basis. The heart of our shop beats with unique flowers, and this passion drives every arrangement we create. My creative eye, combined with a commitment to the extraordinary, has given birth to the shop's distinctive and captivating aesthetic.

Each day, I find joy in designing flowers and curating our diverse offerings.

Growing this business into what it is today has been a dream come true, and I've cherished it every step of the way. It's not just a shop; it's a reflection of my love for artistry and the pleasure of sharing it with you.

Meet Marge Wiatrek (Manager/Florist)

Hello, I'm Marge Wiatrek, and I'm not just a florist; I'm a floral artist with over three decades of experience in crafting extraordinary flowers. My journey in the world of blooms began more than 30 years ago, and I've loved every petal of it.

My passion for flowers runs deep, and it's a love affair that's been passed down through my generations. My family's roots in a flower shop provided the rich soil for my own floral dreams to blossom. Today, I have the privilege of not only managing but nurturing my daughter's flower shop, transforming it into the vibrant oasis it is today. I revel in creating unique and distinctive floral designs, as well as bringing custom orders to life. Beyond flowers, I have a keen eye for home decor and design. I believe that flowers aren't just arrangements; they're living pieces of art that can transform any space into a haven of beauty and elegance. I relish the opportunity to share this love and expertise with you.

Working with flowers isn't just a career; it's a calling, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I'm here to make your floral dreams a reality, whether it's a one-of-a-kind bouquet, a unique centerpiece, or a touch of botanical beauty for your home. Let's embark on a floral journey together, and I can't wait to bring a little more beauty into your world
