Each florist is listed alphabetically along with the room/area they are decorating so that you will know where to find them when you visit the Showcase Estate at Robinson Gardens on Garden Tour day.

One day, in 1999, I found myself doing flowers for fun and somehow it turned into a career. I had just moved back to LA and a friend asked me to design florals for her dinner party. I declined but she was insistent so, finally, I gave in. I felt an amazing sense of joy using my hands to create. The next day I had requests to do flowers for everyone in town and the rest is history.
