Petal Pusher

Petal Pusher - Green Bay Florist

Affectionately known as "The Push" to those that love it, Petal Pusher was started in 1992 by Todd Trimberger in Allouez, WI. Nichole Campbell joined the team in 1998, and in 2006 took ownership of the business, along with the help and support of her husband Shawn. They chose to focus on the aspects of the business that Nichole was most passionate about (the flowers, of course!) After being contacted by the Broadway District, Petal Pusher relocated downtown in 2014 (best business decision ever!) In 2015 they were able to realize a dream and further expand with the purchase of 26 acres to begin their own flower farm (Petal Pusher Gardens), where they grow fresh cut flowers, sustainably source natural materials and find endless botanical inspiration. Petal Pusher is a full service florist providing everything from daily deliveries to large scale events to incredibly custom wedding work. They source locally from their own farm as well as two other local growers, in addition to sourcing globally off of the Dutch flower auction and around the world. Their design style focuses on the natural and organic with a touch of the whimsical, and they are every bit as likely to love a tendril as a tulip.

My love of all things botanical started with my very first job in a floral shop during high school. That love grew as I completed my bachelor's degree in plant biology at UWGB and continued working in both the retail and wholesale side of the industry. A trip to explore the Netherlands and the honor of working with some amazingly creative people cultivated that love, and I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to become a part of the amazing story and place that is Petal Pusher.

Petal Pusher - Green Bay Florist Favorite Flower… Roses-always a classic. Though the dahlias we grow out at our farm are a close second. And the gladiolas we grow will always remind me of my Grandma.

Petal Pusher - Shawn Campbell
Hi, I'm Shawn... During the day I work as a Network Engineer at KI (26 years). In the evenings and weekends, I transform into the HR, bookkeeper, flower grower and tech support person of The Push. I live with my wife (Nichole Campbell) and our furry family of 3 cats and 1 dog. When I am not at KI or helping The Push, I enjoy the time we spend at Petal Pusher Gardens and our cabin in Goodman-just relaxing, exploring, cooking and escaping reality.

Pippa Pepper, Itty Bitty Flower Shop Kitty

Petal Pusher - Pippa Pepper
I was found as a stray on Chestnut, which is located just behind Petal Pusher.  I was in pretty rough shape and spent a few months recuperating at Wisconsin Humane Society, before my shop ladies adopted me in October of 2017.  Now I live the high life, complete with my own staff--really, this place came with a staff!  (When they aren't attending to my every whim they do some stuff with flowers.)  I even have my own business cards and am social media savvy, where you'll find me on facebook and instagram.
 

Petal Pusher - Green Bay Florist Favorite Flower…Catnip, or maybe catmint. Or maybe catnip. 
Petal Pusher - Green Bay Florist Favorite Color... Orange, preferably with stripes.
Petal Pusher - Green Bay Florist Favorite Smell…The smell of my shop ladies warming up their lunches (assuming the lunch offerings are things I like.)
Petal Pusher - Green Bay Florist Favorite Food…Shrimpy Shrimps
Petal Pusher - Green Bay Florist Cats or Dogs... I refuse to dignify this question with a response.
Petal Pusher - Green Bay FloristWhen I’m Not at Petal Pusher, You’ll Find Me…ummm, is this a trick question? I live at the shop, and I’m not much for travel. I was found as a stray, so I’ve had more than enough of life on the road. They don’t have cushy beds and Shrimpy Shrimps aren’t very plentiful out there.

Petal Pusher - Green Bay Florist Favorite Flower… It’s so tough to pick a favorite! I think I love them all, but being from Wisconsin where the winters are so long and spring is so highly anticipated, I’ve developed a special appreciation for one of the earliest bloomers- Hellebore. Not only are they simple and beautiful, but they come in the best shades of white, green, and purple. And the blooms last forever on the plant!
Petal Pusher - Green Bay Florist Favorite Color... It depends greatly on the application, but I think all of the prettiest flowers are shades of pink.
Petal Pusher - Green Bay Florist Favorite Smell… Fresh baked bread! Or Christmas trees.
Petal Pusher - Green Bay Florist Favorite Food…Indian Butter Chicken.
Petal Pusher - Green Bay Florist Cats or Dogs... Don’t tell Pippa, but I prefer dogs. Though I’m not much of an animal person and don’t have any pets.
Petal Pusher - Green Bay FloristWhen I’m Not at Petal Pusher, You’ll Find Me… Spending time with my family- whether it be my husband and baby boy, or my own parents and siblings.
Petal Pusher - Green Bay Florist My Favorite Thing To Create Is… Bouquets for days! I really enjoy it all, but the bouquets are the focal point of the whole wedding. It’s so special to create such a central element of the big day.
Petal Pusher - Green Bay Florist My Super Power is... Not useful whatsoever, but hula-hooping. Don’t ask me to do any tricks, but if you want someone who can just stand there and hula hoop for a long time, call me.
