About the Author
Brenna Estrada is an accomplished flower farmer who has built a dedicated following through the sharing of her extensive collection of pansies. Raised in the Pacific Northwest in the shadow of the Cascade Mountains, Estrada spent her childhood hiking mossy trails sheltered by towering pines and abundant flora. This instilled in her a deep love of nature, specifically flowers. After serving 5 years in the United States Marine Corps and 16 years as a 911 call taker and police dispatcher, Brenna took a position at Floret where her knowledge and passion grew, for pansies especially. Every year Estrada trials around 100 different varieties of pansies and violas to find those with the most exceptional colors, fragrance, and stem length. Brenna's pansies have drawn the attention of growers and artists from all over the world. She continues to share her passion with others and is working to make seeds for the specialty varieties more accessible to both small-scale growers and home gardeners. She currently resides on a lovely little island with her husband and three boys.
