My ArundelBiz Podcast: Maher’s Florist

May 3, 2022

What better way for the My ArundelBiz podcast to welcome May – a month filled with celebratory occasions including Mother’s Day, high school proms, graduations, and weddings – than to feature one of Anne Arundel County’s many great flower-flinging businesses: Maher’s Florist.

We sat down with Kim Wharton, owner of the Pasadena-based biz, to discuss:

• How she fell in love with flowers – despite originally having “no interest” in them – while working alongside her mom, who opened the business in 1977.
• How Maher’s has continued to evolve and set itself apart amid various challenges, from e-commerce giants to international shipping issues.
• Her top tips for business owners.
• Her five favorite local businesses (Primo Pasta Kitchen, Bella Napoli Italian Restaurant, The Point Crab House and Grill, Chart House, Two Rivers), two favorite parks (Quiet Waters Park and Downs Park), and her five favorite flowers.
• PLUS the SHOCKING truth about black roses and black-eyed Susans!

So tune in to learn more about a business, and a woman, that’s all about the blooms!
