Naomi had a vision and she just went for it and she is so successful today.

Naomi has also been a guest host on the QVC TV network and has made a variety of guest appearances on CBS TV (in both NY and Washington), NBC Morning News, Fox 5 New York, and the Hallmark Channel and has been quoted by the Forbes Magazine, Wall Street Journal on Jewish food trends. Naomi has become known as a Kosher food media influencer and has represented many brands on social media, including Kosher.com, Gefen, Tropicana, Breakstone's, Ore-ida, Gourmet Glatt and Maxwell House. In 2017, Naomi published her debut cookbook, Perfect For Pesach with Artscroll Publications; and in November, 2018 Naomi published her second cookbook, Perfect Flavors (also with Artscroll Publications).

One of the top three things that clients request for their landscaping project is seasonal color year-round. One of the fastest, easiest and best ways to do this is by including perennials in your installations.

And the truth of the matter is that you can't just plant daylilies and hostas everywhere. The self-proclaimed Perennial Diva Stephanie Cohen has got you covered. She discusses her favorite tried and true perennials (and some grasses, too) that will give your clients the color that you want, while working within their budget and limiting the amount of maintenance that is required throughout the year.
