Gerry Rogers, founder and partner, brings a diverse array of influences to her work in floral design. The daughter of a diplomat and hobby horticulturist, plants have been a constant presence in her life. More than ten years experience in the arts - including work with the National Gallery of Art, The Smithsonian Institution, and the Des Moines Art Center - has schooled her well in the important elements and principles of design. Inspired by such renowned floral designers as Christian Tortu and Paula Pryke, Gerry has studied modern European and minimalist Asian styles of floral design. She has undergraduate degrees from Duke University in art history and women's studies, and received a graduate degree in education and completed coursework toward a doctorate in organizational leadership from the University of Virginia.

She holds a bachelor's degree in horticulture from The Pennsylvania State University and a master's degree in landscape architecture from the University of Michigan. A former landscape architect, she brings a unique perspective to the art of flowers with designs inspired by the forms, textures and colors of the natural world. Rebecca has been trained in a wide variety of floral design styles, from the elegant and dramatic arrangements of traditional and modern European design to the simplicity of Japanese Ikebana. Prior to Petal's Edge, Rebecca worked independently as a floral designer for both weddings and individual arrangements.
