Sandra Flores Arata is a native of San Francisco. Her love of flowers was inspired by her grandparents' garden when she was a child. They had a large garden full of roses, fruit trees, vegetables, herbs and many types of flowers. She thinks of her grandmother when she has stock flowers in the room. She was a florist for several years working at the shop of a family member who gave her full knowledge of the floral industry. She has had formal training in flower arranging and has studied Horticulture while pursuing a science degree. Over the years she has gained experience with flowers and plants through many years of gardening. She grew her own vegetables, herbs, fruit trees and flowers for many years as a hobby. Sandra owns her own flower shop at Levi's Plaza. She provides her clients with great customer service, professional floral arrangements, and tips on basic care of plants. She enjoys people and will put in extra time to make sure they are happy with her service.
