Growing up the daughter of a florist in rural Michigan, Sera learned about plants and gardening at a very early age. She has been working professionally in the NYC botanical industry for the last five years, honing her horticultural practice at Williamsburg retail main-stay Sprout Home Brooklyn. A graduate of the University of Michigan and Columbia University, the writer and filmmaker left a career as a commercial director to get back to her roots. Sera lets her artistic intuition instruct her green design, viewing each garden as a temporal experience inspired by form, color, movement, and character.
