My name is Julie and I am the owner and lead designer at Front Porch Floral. I inherited my green thumb and  love of flowers and gardening from both sides of my family. On my Portuguese side my Nana taught my mom about gardening and the love of flowers. On my Italian side my family had farms in the Bay Area on Bay Farm Island in Alameda where my dad learned to farm as a young boy. So the love of being in the garden and working with flowers is very much a part of who I am.
