When gardeners garden, it is not just plants that grow, but the gardeners themselves.

About me
I’m a mom of two wonderful boys, wife of a loving husband, and a succulent garden enthusiast. I hold a master’s degree in Psychology that I utilized at various research labs before becoming a stay-at-home mom in 2015. I was born in the Philippines, grew up in Hawaii, and now living in Cupertino, California (9b) with my family.
I’ve been collecting succulents since 2012 when our xeriscape project began. I started with six 2-gallon aeonium and a jade that my mom gave. Now, I have more than 300 plants of nearly 100 genera spread across my 4 succulent gardens.
Gardening is never just a hobby — it is also my passion. Gardening keeps me busy, sane, and grounded (literally and metaphorically). It makes me a very happy and satisfied human being.
