Berkeley County is home to many businesses that contribute to the community’s vibrant culture and economy. One such gem is Depot Florist in the heart of Martinsburg, owned by Pam Wagner. Pam’s journey in the flower industry is a story of passion, perseverance, and the deep roots she has grown in this community over the years.
From Passion to Profession
Pam’s love for flowers started when she was just 18, working at a different flower shop. That early experience sparked something inside her, something that would eventually lead her to open her own shop. In 1998, Pam took the plunge and started Depot Florist. It was a small operation at first, tucked away in the train station on Martin Street. But Pam had big dreams, and after five years, she knew it was time to grow. She found the perfect spot at 532 West King Street, and that’s where Depot Florist has been blossoming ever since.
Flowers for Every Occasion
Depot Florist isn’t just any flower shop. Pam and her team offer a wide range of services that blend traditional floristry with a modern flair. Whether it’s a cheerful arrangement to brighten someone’s day or an elegant design for a special event, Depot Florist can handle it all. They’re known for their work at weddings, events, and even funeral arrangements, but they also cater to everyday moments like birthdays, anniversaries, or those “just because” occasions. And if you need to send flowers to someone far away, no problem—they can make it happen anywhere in the world.
Rooted in Community
For Pam, Berkeley County isn’t just where she does business—it’s home. Over the years, she’s built strong relationships with the people here. Pam’s kids grew up in this community, participating in activities like Boy Scouts, marching band, and 4-H, which only deepened her ties to the area. “It’s amazing to see the cycles,” Pam says. “I’ve been in business long enough to do the wedding flowers for someone, and years later, I’m doing their children’s wedding flowers too.”
Giving Back
Pam isn’t just about running a business—she’s about giving back to the community that has supported her for so long. She’s been involved in several local organizations, including Rotary Club and both Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. Pam believes in the power of reciprocity: “You give, and then they give back,” she explains. Her commitment to community service has been a cornerstone of her success and something she’s deeply proud of.
Why Berkeley County?
Pam wouldn’t want to do business anywhere else. The relationships she’s built and the support she’s received from the local government and community have been key to her success. Whether it’s getting the time she needed to repair her sidewalk or navigating the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, Pam feels fortunate to have the understanding and support of Berkeley County behind her.
A Local Gem
Depot Florist, under Pam’s leadership, isn’t just a business—it’s a part of the fabric of Martinsburg. Pam has worked hard to create a shop that offers more than just flowers; it offers connections, memories, and a personal touch that you won’t find anywhere else. The Berkeley County Development Authority is proud to spotlight Depot Florist as a business that truly embodies the spirit of our community.
