Larsen Jay
Ex Officio
In July 2007, Larsen Jay, the founder of Random Acts of Flowers, experienced a near-fatal accident. During his hospital stay, the daily visits and numerous floral arrangements he received provided a crucial emotional boost, helping him endure multiple surgeries and a challenging recovery. This heartfelt support inspired him to create Random Acts of Flowers. Discover more about our journey by clicking here.
