The company’s story began in 2014 when a Valentine’s Day snowstorm inspired the founder to create the first 100 % local arrangements and deliver them with friends. The positive response led to the opening of a light‑filled studio where a team of floral designers crafts daily arrangements that reflect the time and place the flowers were grown. Emphasizing environmental impact, the business sources its flowers from growers throughout the region to avoid the waste of the international floral trade, delivering sustainable, long‑lasting designs. The team is described as a crew of passionate, flower‑obsessed women, led by founder Tobie Whitman, who transitioned from a career in international women’s empowerment to championing the local flower movement, and by lead designer Amber Flack. Their approach includes daily hand‑tied bouquets, artisanal vase designs, and a commitment to customer happiness and satisfaction.

Florals by MJ’s Place brings Murphysboro a distinctive focus on locally sourced, seasonal florals, delivering fresh, environmentally mindful arrangements that celebrate the region’s growers.
