About Us
Our Story
The magic that takes place at Designer's Touch with every arrangement and Gift Shop item was preluded by years of passion and hardwork in the design industry by owner, Scott Sammons.
As a creative child with an eye for all things design, Scott began his floral career in high school and continued his education at Eastland Career Center in Columbus, Ohio studying horticulture, landscape and floral design. He then attended The Agricultural Technical Institute (ATI) to study floral design and management. While learning all things floral he gained several years of on-the-job experience at different florists before managing, and then owning, his own flower shop in Ohio. In addition to florals, he proceeded to pursue interior design and graduated from The Interior Design Institute of Ohio. This avenue led him to do work for an architectual firm, and later, a commercial design company where he designed multiple corporate spaces such as hospitals and physicians offices. In the year 2000, Scott began his own interior design company which was featured in local magazines such as Columbus Monthly Magazine and 614 Magazine. His love for curating beautiful, special spaces for his clients earned him years of work in Ohio, Kentucky, Georgia, and Tennessee.
In the summer of 2021 Scott and his partner Doug Ellenburg decided to begin a new adventure! The two made the move from Nashville, Tennessee to Oconee County where Doug was proud to have been born and raised. They then shared the blessing and privilege of becoming the owners of Designer's Touch Florist And Gift Shop. A long-standing, full service florist offering fresh and silk flowers as well as quality, eclectic home decor goods.
"I think everyone should live life more beautifully. I'm so thankful for the opportunity to provide personable and carefully curated designs and services for the wonderful community of Oconee County."

Substitution Policy
Occasionally, substitutions may be necessary to create your bouquet due to the availability of certain flowers in various parts of the country. Care is taken to maintain the style, theme and color scheme of the arrangement, using flowers of equal value. Additionally, the substitution of certain keepsake items may be necessary due to increased demand, especially during major holidays. In single-flower arrangements, such as an all rose bouquet, or orchids, we will make every attempt to match the flower type, but may substitute with another color.
