In 2005 Sara Lucas retired from working for the Superior Court and began to work every day at her flower shop, Petals, Ribbons and Beyond. “My grandmother had rosebushes when I was growing up in South Carolina and I used to love the rosebushes but every week I would get stung by a bee because the bees would come to get the pollen off the roses. So I have always been around flowers outdoors and then I was offered an opportunity in 1988 to buy into a flower business I had 3 other partners, the shop was called…
