What began as a mobile flower business in September 2020 to “spread blooms” across Katy and Fulshear during a time of uncertainty has transformed into a collaborative space for women and neighbors, said Tiffany Callicott, owner of Tiffany’s Tiny Flower Truck.
“The community needed it, [and] I needed it,” Callicott said. “I think a lot of people needed it just to feel connection again after the hard years of [the COVID-19 pandemic].”
Coming from a 20-year corporate background, Callicott said it was difficult for her to have a proper work life balance. Her small flower shop and event space in Fulshear, which opened in September 2023, gives her the opportunity to give back to other mothers, she said.
“This community kind of lets me get back to what I had wished I had when I was raising my kids, which is where I could have a career and I could be my own boss,” Callicott said. “I could do something I enjoyed and be creative and still have my family life.”What they offer
The shop features 15 small, women-owned businesses selling everything from baked goods to jewelry and clothing, Callicott said.
In addition to the gift shop and flower arrangement stations, Tiffany’s Tiny Flower Truck offers a monthly or bimonthly bloom service, where arrangements are delivered to residents' front doors.
However, the shop also doubles as an event space and a place for locals to meet, Callicott said. The space is often the site of bridal showers, birthday parties, game nights, and arts and crafts. Calendars are released monthly announcing the event schedule.
“We have Bible studies here,” she said. “I have a special moms group that comes in, and they meet and have breakfast and just talk about all the challenges that they face with having kids with special needs.”Callicott said her business grew organically because of the nature of its products.
“Flowers bring joy; flowers are an act of kindness,” Callicott said. “So this is now kind of a natural progression of that, where I'm able to open a space that provides that same joy.”How it started
The seeds for a flower business were planted by her late mother, an avid gardener who introduced a young Callicott to the joys of tending and cultivating the earth.
“The red cardinal on my logo represents her,” Callicott said. “I have her cross stitching right at the front door—that's the first thing I see and the last thing I see every day. She's the inspiration here.”
