Michael Riccardi
I'm Michael Riccardi, the owner of Michael's Greenhouse and Florist here in Sauquoit. I grew up in East Utica and then moved to Whitesboro in 1977. I graduated from Whitesboro High School in 1982. I then attended Johnson and Wales College for Baking and Pastry Arts and graduated in 1984. From there, I worked in a couple of bakeries and then I purchased an older Polish Bakery in Rome, NY (The White Eagle Bakery) and renamed it "Michael's Bake Shoppe." My Mom and Dad played a vital role there, always working and helping out wherever needed. I eventually sold the bakery after 6 1/2 years but still to this day, love to bake! So on to the next chapter...In 1992, I started driving School Bus for Whitesboro Central School and did so for 28 years. In 2012, I purchased "The Strawberry Geranium" in Sauquoit. That's how "Michael's Greenhouse and Florist" started. I am also the Organist at St. Anthony and St. Agnes Church in Utica and have been playing there for 25 years. I also have been driving School Bus for Sauquoit Valley Central School since 2021. My favorite part of my job is working in the Greenhouses and also baking for the shop. I love starting seeds in early February and nurturing them into beautiful flowers. People seem to think that I do the designing in the Flower Shop, which I do not. I have a very creative staff, Heidi and Katrina who are led by Tracy (The Floral Manager) and they do a phenomenal job. So, whatever your floral needs are, we are here for you! Thank you, Michael
