Menderes Günes's journey to
becoming a global trendsetter
began innocently, with a sign
in the window of flower shop
in Bodrum, Turkey, that stated,
"Helper Wanted." It was two
years after answering that call
for help that Günes committed
to continuing his path as a
master florist. One year later, in
2011, he opened a flower shop
in an affluent neighborhood in
the Sisli district on the European
side of Istanbul, and for 12 years,
Günes has worked tirelessly to
celebrate the beauty of flowers.
"For centuries, flowers have been
symbolizing love and peace, and
the longevity of humans depends
on love," he says about his flower
philosophy. "To live and let live
this emotion has become my
priority."
"For centuries, f lowers have been
symbolizing love and peace."
