Lyndon Cassell was born in Newfoundland, and has lived and worked in Ontario, Manitoba and Alberta, acquiring an education in business along the way. Pam Fong was born and raised in Port Alberni and began her career as a florist straight out of high school. She has also lived in Burnaby and Calgary, which is where she and Lyndon met.
Lyndon and Pam came to Port Alberni in 2010 for a 6-month house swap. Lyndon fell in love with Vancouver Island the moment he stepped off the ferry, and after meeting residents and taking in local events he knew he wanted to stay. They returned to Port Alberni in 2012, and combined their skills to open Azalea Flowers and Gifts on May 1, 2015.
Azalea’s is a full-service flower shop and serves the entire Alberni Valley. In addition to offering arrangements and bouquets for every occasion, they carry plants, gift baskets, fruit baskets, orchids, soaps, gift cards, and more. Lyndon is an accomplished photographer, and the gift cards feature his stunning work, with images from around the Alberni Valley, including McLean Mill, Cathedral Grove and many other popular sites and locations. Lyndon likes to use his photos to promote the town and their business. Lyndon’s photos can be viewed on his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/azaleaflowersandgifts…
