Biography

For me, it all began in my garden. My parents, and my grandparents on both sides had a deep love of gardening. It's from that foundation that I long to be digging in dirt. I don't get out into my garden as often as I would like, due to the fact that I now own and operate the cute little kiosk-flower shop downdown Santa Cruz, on Pacific Ave. I feel honored and privledged to be a part of this little shop. It's a wonderful place to be. I see hundreds of people walk by everyday and I love to bring them happiness and cheer with our colorful, wild, elegant and powerful blooms. I have my two beautiful daughters and a totally loving and supporting husband. I'm lucky, I know, and grateful, and not a day goes by that I don't acknowledge that to my maker. It's with my unwavering spirituality that I'm able to move through life with such gifts of happiness.
