Jennifer Oosterhoff
Meet Jennifer, affectionately known as “The Boss” around here. Taking the helm of 3B’s Flowers Ltd. in July 2021, Jennifer’s journey into the floral world began on a wing and a prayer. With no prior floral experience, she dove headfirst into the industry, quickly realizing that it was her true calling all along.
Her favourite aspect of floral design? Crafting stunning arrangements with monochromatic colours and premium blooms. But what sets Jennifer apart is her knack for adding a personal touch to each creation. Whether it’s a beloved plant, a can of cheese whiz, an old cowboy boot, antlers, or even a tiny spade, she’s always eager to incorporate something unique and meaningful for her clients.
Known for her infectious enthusiasm, Jennifer is constantly going the extra mile to brighten someone’s day. You’ll often hear her exclaiming, “it’s SO pretty” when she encounters new plant babies, floral arrangements, or the latest ceramics celebrating the female form (have you seen them? They’re SO pretty).
A true Gemini, Jennifer brings versatility and adaptability to the team, effortlessly juggling the many facets of running a successful floral business. Her passion for her work shines through in every interaction, making her a beloved leader and mentor to her team.
And when she’s not busy making magic happen in the shop, Jennifer can be found tending to her favorite flower, marigolds, or nurturing her beloved Philo Giganteum plant.
So next time you stop by 3B’s Flowers Ltd., be sure to say hello to Jennifer, the fearless leader whose creativity knows no bounds.
Vanessa Blackie
Meet Vanessa, our lead florist and the sweet yet saucy soul of 3B’s Flowers Ltd. Born under the fiery sign of Leo, Vanessa’s presence in our shop is nothing short of stellar.
Vanessa’s arrival couldn’t have been more perfectly timed.

With her perfect blend of sweetness and spice, Vanessa effortlessly complements our floral family, bringing her unique flair and passion to every arrangement.
With an innate eye for beauty, a lightning-quick mind, and a genuine soul, Vanessa is the mastermind behind our exquisite floral creations and enchanting terrariums. But that’s not all – if you happen to catch a glimpse of our Instagram reels, you’ll see that she also has a talent for playing the role of a ghost (trust us, it’s worth a watch) 👻.
Vanessa’s favorite flower, the majestic King Protea, is a testament to her bold and regal nature. And when it comes to plants, she has a soft spot for the elegant Chinese Evergreen, adding a touch of greenery and grace to every space.
As a Leo, Vanessa brings warmth, creativity, and a generous spirit to our team. Her dedication to her craft and her genuine love for what she does shines through in every arrangement she creates.
So the next time you’re in need of a floral masterpiece or a dose of infectious energy, look no further than Vanessa, the sweet and saucy soul behind our shop’s stunning creations.
Lori Oosterhoff
Introducing Lori, our beloved “Mom-ager,” also known as Lorelai and affectionately referred to as our Floor-ist. Born under the grounded sign of Taurus, Lori is the steady force that keeps our shop running smoothly.
While some may call it nepotism, we see Lori as the unsung hero of our establishment. Whether she’s officially on the schedule or not, you can always count on her to be there, sweeping up after everyone, ensuring there are goodies to eat, and salvaging precious floor flowers for her own creative arrangements that often grace the bathroom counter.
With her infectious laughter and unwavering support, Lori keeps us all in line while making sure we’re having a good time doing it. Thanks to her presence, we operate as a tighter ship and enjoy a happier crew.
But Lori’s role extends far beyond her unofficial title. As the manager of the shop, sales lead, and the guardian of customer care and satisfaction, she’s the backbone of our operation. Her dedication to ensuring every customer leaves with a smile is unparalleled, and her commitment to excellence sets the standard for our team.
Despite her busy schedule, Lori still finds time to indulge in her love for flowers and plants. With a nod to her favorite flower, Chrysanthemums (because, well, she’s my mum…), and her affinity for the graceful Juniper Bonsai, Lori brings her nurturing spirit to both her work and her personal passions.
So the next time you step into our shop, be sure to say hello to Lori – our steady anchor, caring manager, and the heart and soul of 3B’s Flowers Ltd.

Sue Fulmore
Introducing Sue, our part-time gem who radiates sunshine wherever she goes. Born under the harmonious sign of Libra, Sue brings warmth, kindness, and an unwavering dedication to our team.
Well known in the Stony Plain area, Sue is celebrated for her genuine kindness and infectious positivity. Having served the community in numerous local businesses, she came out of retirement just to join the 3B’s Team, much to our delight.
Sue’s mere presence in the shop adds an extra layer of beauty and joy to our surroundings. But her talents extend far beyond her sunny disposition – her knack for adding that special “zhuzh” to our floor display is truly unmatched.

EDISON
Introducing Miss Edison Theodore Jaws, our beloved shop dog and the bossiest lady at the shop. Born under the analytical sign of Virgo, Edison may not always be eager to punch in for work, but when she decides to grace us with her presence, she is an indispensable part of our team.
With her expressive eyes and vocal nature, Edison has a knack for storytelling that captivates everyone she meets. Whether she’s charming customers with her undeniable charisma or regaling us with tales of her latest adventures, this corgi is a master of communication.
Affectionately dubbed “The Real Boss,” Edison has a reputation for stealing hearts wherever she goes. But don’t let her sweet demeanor fool you – she’s also a mastermind when it comes to getting her point across. Smart as a whip and fiercely opinionated (clearly a Virgo), she’s not afraid to make her feelings known.
You’ll often find Edison napping around the toilet, demanding the comfy chair at the design table, or chaotically zig-zagging through the parking lot. One thing’s for sure: her presence adds an extra dash of joy and mischief to our shop.
So the next time you visit 3B’s Flowers Ltd., be sure to ask for Miss Edison – the lovable shop dog who steals hearts and tells tales like no other.
