Presidential Flourish
Kaleen, who followed in her parents’ footsteps as a florist, is no stranger to arranging holiday greenery and flowers. In the early 2000s, she was one of about 60 floral designers countrywide who helped adorn the White House for the Yuletide.
These days, she helps embellish the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum in Dallas. At home, Allen jokes that he is the brawn who sets up the trees and Kaleen adds the beauty. “She puts the final twist to give that little bit of gleam to it,” he says.
