Nine Twenty-Two owner, Becky Cohen has always been obsessed with retail...even creating "displays" in her own room in her younger years...she worked in retail shops through high school and beyond. Later, as a stay-at-home mom, she became obsessed with gardening to fulfill her desire to create beautiful things and ended up with a cutting garden her neighbors envied (and also very much appreciated as the recipients of her garden's bounty). After a few years, she borrowed family land and became a flower farmer, selling her cut stems locally. The natural progession into floral design followed as regular customers began asking for wedding florals. Four kiddos later, Becky retired from the dirt-and-bug-spray filled farm into full-time floral design and became one of the top floral designers in Coastal Virginia...with the cutest little retail corner in her design studio. Several years (and a pandemic) later, Becky opened what was originially Horticulture Design Co., Norfolk's OG plant and flower shop. The shop quickly became known for unique home goods and gifts and was rebranded to Nine Twenty-Two (a nod to Becky's anniversary with husband Scott) and has quickly grown into the lifestyle shop it is today.
