“We get to work with some of the most wonderful works of art nature or god ever created…when I see the power of one little blossom, it’s pretty phenomenal, an unbelievable response,” says Neville of My Mother’s Bloomers. Single-named Neville---like Cher without the attitude (or hair), he says---has made his mark on Halifax with both his 15 years in flowers and his many sponsorships and charitable works, from World Vision to the AIDS Walk. He’s also concerned about the sustainability of his business. “We do as much as we can to purchase from that are socially and environmentally responsible. I want to know that in 50 years the soil are grown in will still sustain them, that the water is still good to drink.” 5640 Spring Garden, 422-2700
