Atypical Blooms is your online, social enterprise florist, delivering exclusively to Metro Phoenix. Who doesn’t love fresh-cut flowers? That’s what we thought when we were looking to open a family business. Our short-term goal is to provide job training and experience for our son Lance who is on the autism spectrum. Our long-term goal is to employ individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities. Our bouquets are designed and delivered with love.
