Michele Sutton believes in her products. It wasn\u2019t too long ago that she was selling her ferns door-to-door in order to grow her business. Today, Michele is president and CEO of Sutton Ferneries, and she recently began supplying floral solutions and greenery in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Though her journey wasn\u2019t the easiest, she explains, \u201cWhen you love what you do and you\u2019re passionate about it, you can see things other people can\u2019t see.\u201d<\/p>\n

Armed with that vision\u2014an idea she hoped would sprout into something big\u2014Michele started Sutton Ferneries in 1987, after emigrating from Jamaica to attend the University of Miami. At the time, supermarkets had just begun stocking flowers but Michele had a hunch that foliage and arrangements would be next. She was right.<\/p>\n

Michele has certainly come a long way from pounding the pavement and ringing doorbells, but when you have as much determination and passion as Michele does, the journey only makes you stronger.<\/p><\/h5><\/div>
