MEET THE TEAM

Heather Sardela - Co-Owner, Lead Designer Heather is the creative force behind all things Blossom & Bone. Our very own Gemini queen pours her heart, soul and creative juices into sourcing a rotating collection of goods, and creating eye-popping, stunning arrangements for you and your loved ones. Heather got her start as florist at Asrai Garden and combines her experience in English-garden style floral design with her own maximalist approach of showcasing local blooms and textures, while maintaining a commitment to sustainability.

Pedro Sardela - Co-Owner & Customer Care When you meet Pedro, he will joke that he only handles the custodial duties here at Blossom and Bone, but in actuality, he is the spine of this business and the heart of the company. Always cool under pressure and willing to lend a hand, he'll make you feel welcome immediately (and will probably tell you a dad joke or two). When he's not making our lives better at the shop, he enjoys cooking, caring for his plants, and going on walks with his dogs.

Natalie Huntley - Store Manager & Designer Hobby entomologist and plant identification expert, Nat is our resident encyclopedia. Her background in horticulture and fashion merchandising make her a texture master, and as a legacy florist, her designs evoke that just-picked-from-the-garden feeling we all love so much. Natalie is also a sustainability aficionado and an expert in foam-free event design; she continually helps us make sure we are doing the most we can to help combat climate change. When she's not flowering, Natalie enjoys spending time with her cats (Barry & Thorn), listening to podcasts, or exploring the great outdoors.

Sunny Sardela - Shop Dog Extraordinaire This 7 year old wiggle worm is the sweetest, happiest, most delightful pup in the universe who will be your immediate best friend if you're lucky enough to get to meet him. He doesn't grace us with his presence daily, but when he does, it is a delight for all and a guaranteed serotonin boost. He likes butt rubs, belly touches, and balls of all shapes and sizes. Long Live Shop Dog!
