My programs are always a combination of discovery, delight and expansion. Your imagination and connection to beauty, nature and creativity will deepen. Delicious local food awakens the senses along with beautiful surroundings, seasonal flower bouquets, and taking time to appreciate the beauty around you. Very popular for corporation spousal events as well as retreats for friends, mother and daughters, and all who seek to expand their creativity in a nourishing playful setting. Each program is individually tailored to the group. Workshops can be held at my historic home and gardens in Monterey or other locations. View the Workshop Flick.
