About Us

We are a unique Green Bay, WI florist that sources flowers grown around the world as well as on our own flower farm. We believe there is some magic involved in the creation of something as perfect as a peony, and we feel honored to be a part of the magic that turns flora into feelings.

Petal Pusher

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.

Nichole Campbell, Owner and Lead Designer

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.

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.
Favorite Color... Green
Favorite Smell… Walking into a greenhouse.
Favorite Food…Cheese. In almost any form.
Cats or Dogs... Cats. Just don’t tell my dog.
When I’m Not at Petal Pusher, You’ll Find Me… At our flower farm (Petal Pusher Gardens), which is probably my favorite place in the universe.
My Favorite Thing To Create Is… Plants. There is something absolutely magical about starting a seed in our seedling greenhouse in March and putting it’s most perfect blossom into a bride’s bouquet in September. It’s a beautiful journey and relationship.
My Super Power is... Innovative uses for rubber bands.

Shawn Campbell, Owner and Wearer of Many Hats

Favorite Flower… Amaranthus. They are big, fuzzy and cool.
Favorite Color... Blue
Favorite Smell… Sweet fern
Favorite Food... Sushi
Cats or Dogs... Dogs. Sorry Juniper, Linux, Hops and Pippa.
When I’m Not at Petal Pusher, You’ll Find Me… I enjoy the time we spend at Petal Pusher Gardens and our cabin in Goodman-just relaxing, exploring, cooking and escaping reality.
My Favorite Thing To Create Is… A mess when cooking.
My Super Power is... Planning and scheduling ALL events in Google calendars.

Pippa Pepper, Itty Bitty Flower Shop Kitty

Favorite Flower…Catnip, or maybe catmint. Or maybe catnip. 
Favorite Color... Orange, preferably with stripes.
Favorite Smell…The smell of my shop ladies warming up their lunches (assuming the lunch offerings are things I like.)
Favorite Food…Shrimpy Shrimps
Cats or Dogs... I refuse to dignify this question with a response.
When 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. 
My Favorite Thing To Create Is… Adorableness
My Super Power is... Adorableness

Abby Kline, Floral Designer

 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!
 Favorite Color... It depends greatly on the application, but I think all of the prettiest flowers are shades of pink.
 Favorite Smell… Fresh baked bread! Or Christmas trees.
 Favorite Food…Indian Butter Chicken.
 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.
When 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.
 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.
 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.
