Another Valentine’s Day is in the books for Lepley & Co. and ArtLan Florist. ❤️🌷

This one feels especially meaningful. Five years ago, for Valentine’s Day 2021, we accepted our very first floral orders from the Massillon Depot. It’s remarkable to pause and realize how far we’ve come and how much we’ve grown as a company and as a team since that season.

Every holiday, once the dust settles, I realize I didn’t take nearly enough photos. No proper shots of the beautiful arrangements. No great team picture of the crew who made it all happen. But maybe that’s because we’re fully in it. Designing. Delivering. Problem solving. Making it work.

My favorite part, every single time, is watching friends, family, and colleagues step in and step up. It truly takes a village to create and deliver that many meaningful pieces in such a short window of time. The teamwork behind the scenes is something special.

When you order direct and shop local, you make a direct impact. You support real people, real families, and real teams working hard to serve their community.

Thank you to everyone who chose Lepley & Co. to be part of your Valentine’s celebration. We are grateful beyond words. 🌹🪴💐🌻🫶

With a heavy heart, I am sharing that my grandfather, Dale Lepley, passed away during a heart procedure.

His craftsmanship is woven throughout Lepley & Co. in ways both visible and deeply personal. From the Lepley name itself, to the wooden shelves that hold our plants, the wooden counter at Northside Marketplace, and the tables where we prep flowers at Art Lan, Grandpa Lepley has been a foundational piece of our growth. He and my dad spent more than 600 hours restoring the Lepley & Co. Depot, bringing that structure back to life with care, patience, and pride.

He spent 84 years building. Not just homes and furniture, but community, family, and a life rooted in service and care. Of all the beautiful things he built, the greatest was the life he shared with my grandmother, Miriam, who continues to be the heart of our family and the keeper of that love.

His life was marked by devotion. To his family and to his community, which he faithfully served in countless ways, from Cemetery Trustee to leadership roles across organizations that mattered deeply to him.

When I think of my grandfather, I think of his hands. Rough and textured from a lifetime of work. Hands that could take a vision and bring it into the world through wood, whether an entire house, a piece of furniture, or something small and delicate.

Some of my earliest memories are shaped by him. Wooden blocks made from shop scraps. A toy box he built before I was old enough to remember it. Time spent in his workshop, guided by his steady and patient hands, alongside the constant love and care of my grandmother.�
Love, acceptance, and grace were not just values he believed in. They were values he lived, modeled for my father, and passed down to me.

For those who wish to read more, Dale’s full obituary and service details are linked in the comments.

Lots of love,

Justin Lepley 🤍🌱🌷

My name is Justin Lepley, and this is part of my ongoing series sharing a bit more about the businesses I’ve built and the wonderful organizations I’m fortunate to be part of.

Today, we’re diving into Lepley & Co. Founded in 2020, in the heart of the pandemic lockdowns, what began as a small roadside plant stand quickly became the catalyst for everything that would grow into Lepley Holdings. Today, Lepley & Co. is a plant boutique and full service florist shop serving Stark and Summit Counties, rooted in creativity, care, and community. This is a little more of our story. 🖤🌿

✨ Lepley & Co. 2025 Wrapped ✨

As we look back on 2025, we’re feeling incredibly grateful for just how far this journey has taken us. These numbers tell a story of growth, creativity, connection, and a whole lot of heart.

This year also marks five years of Lepley & Co., and it’s hard to put into words how thankful I am for every person who has been part of this chapter. From the very beginning at the little Plant Stand in my Goodyear Heights front yard to everything we’ve built together today, this has always been about more than flowers & plants. At our core, Lepley & Co. has always been about community.

Thank you for showing up, supporting small businesses, sharing kind words, trusting us with meaningful moments, and being part of this ever-evolving story. Whether you’ve been here since day one or you’re just joining us today, I’m so glad you’re here.

As we look ahead to 2026, I’d love to hear from you. What would you like to see more of from Lepley & Co. next year?
Here’s to growth, gratitude, and continuing to build something beautiful together.

Lots of Love,

Justin Lepley 🌷🤍✨🪴

🖤 We always have such a wonderful time partnering with our friends at the North Canton Public Library! Last week’s Senior Program Halloween Party at Walther’s Tavern was a spooky good time. 🎃🦇

Lepley & Co. added a touch of festive flair with our Halloween centerpieces, and Justin had the chance to join in on the fun and celebration. We love being part of community events that bring people together — especially when there’s a little extra goth glam involved! 🕯️✨
