Jessica Holcomb and her husband Tony, with her family, have worked tirelessly the past couple of months to prepare for their family-owned business, a flower shop called “The Dandelion.” A lot of long hours have been put in to get the shop ready to open on April 1. The flower shop will be located at 708 South Main Street in Gallatin.

Jessica’s nephew Slade inspired the name “The Dandelion.” Dandelions are almost always the first flower a child picks to give away.
The Dandelion will have more than just fresh floral arrangements, though. They will also sell silk arrangements, hand painted signs, candles, custom-made mesh wreathes, all natural soaps, primitive furniture, antiques and other various home decors. They will also be offering women’s clothing by Perkins Imprints. The Dandelion will be able to specialize floral arrangements for funerals, corsages, mother’s day gifts, Valentine’s, etc., and will offer delivery to customers located in the Daviess County area.
“I’ve always just had a love of flowers,” Holcomb said. “My step-mom always loved to plant flowers. It started with outdoor flowers and just went from there.”
Holcomb states that the past 16 years working at Gallatin Publishing Company has given her the confidence and knowledge needed to go forward with opening her own business. “I started at the paper in 2005,” Holcomb said. “My experience there has definitely given me the business sense. “
Hours are Tuesday-Friday 9 a.m.- 5 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m.- noon.
