About

My love of gardening began when my husband and I moved to our first home in 2002. I started out just like many an inspiring gardener with LOTS of dead plants and a steep learning curve.  I muddled my way through until I sought the help of a garden consultant.  From there, my confidence grew and I became passionate about creating a garden I loved.  
Over the course of the next 13 years, I honed my skills as a Central Valley Gardener. I wrote for a local blog and began helping friends and neighbors reach their gardening goals.
In 2011, I started my first official job as part of the sales team of a local nursery. Learning about the plants/trees/shrubs that performed well in our growing zone gave me the experience I needed to start consulting professionally.

I love my garden. Tamera, you helped me plant unfamiliar plants, know where they would live and thrive, and how to use leaves colors and plant shapes. I would recommend you to anyone .

The Flower Patch was born soon after as I continued to work at the nursery and develop my skills. I encountered time and time again people wandering the rows of plants, unfamiliar to them, with a look of bewilderment.
​Most of my consultation referrals still come from the nursery. Although I left the sales team in June of 2019, I continue to stay connected by running their social media accounts. 
As a garden consultant, I am passionate about coming alongside you and taking the ‘mystery’ out of gardening, with simple tools and guidelines so that you can move forward to creating a garden you love.
My personal style is cottage-inspired, using flowers along with colorful evergreen foliage to accent borders.
