“I moved to LA from London 22 years ago, so I have been here half of my life! Vjera basically grew up in Venice, her family moved to LA in the 80s. People love to hate on LA, but let’s be honest, there’s nowhere better than LA. It’s a hub for so much creativity and opportunity and the best weather.

“Gardening has always been my favorite pastime, so when the opportunity came up to open our own nursery with our friend, Anton, we went for it! It’s been a year of change, and it’s so exciting to have freedom in this new creative space for us to grow as a business and a family.”
