Holley Simmons opened her flower shop, She Loves Me, in the winter of 2019, but if there was a season she wasn't sure the business would make it, it was Mother's Day 2020, during the height of Covid.The shop, then with only one Petworth location (since replaced by two, in Eckington and Capitol Hill), was battling a lot of things: There were flower shortages; her primary sources of business-weddings, walk-ins, workshops-had come to a halt; and practically overnight, she had to start offering delivery, despite having no such system in place, least of all boxes or drivers.
