  • Gardening Background

  • Biographical Information
    I was a textile designer but for the last 17 years I have been growing food and ornamental crops on 6 acres in Northern Calif. wine country. I have a floral design business and gear much of what I grow (organically)for that. I work with my daughter and son-in-law. We have created a beautiful, peaceful environment that we share with a lot of 2 and 4 legged critters. Having removed the grapes that were here, we have planted an immensely diverse garden that is constantly evolving .
