A Legacy in the Floral Industry

James — Thu, 10 May 2012 19:18:15 +0000

As a family, we are very proud of our legacy of leadership in the industry. We have proudly served and remained in the industry for over a hundred years now. Over that span of time, five generations of family have grown up and worked in the floral industry. The most prominent industry figure was Joseph Shinoda and his name may be familiar to many of you. Today, we honor him through contributions to the Joseph Shinoda Memorial Scholarship Foundation. If you have attended our floral design shows, you may have seen the signs soliciting donations. You can see the fact sheet of the foundation’s scholarship efforts on their website at www.shinodascholarship.org. More facts can be found in here.

The Bloomin’ News published an article about the foundation with a brief synopsis of early family history that I wanted to share. Here is a link to the article:

On the first page of the article is a picture of the Shinoda brothers. Tomitaka, pictured on the far right, is my great grandfather.
