27 Dec Sienna Orlando-Lalaguna
Sienna (she/her) is a potter, cook, gardener, plant-lover, mystic, and all-around craftswoman. Raised in the Sacramento Valley on a family farm, she grew up crawling through the spring weeds, eating warm summer peaches, and working in the orchards and dehydrators during harvest time. She started her first garden around age 12, and began studying ceramics in 1999.
After a stint in culinary school, she interned at a farm to learn organic gardening and sustainable living in 2003. She now has more than 30 years of experience in home gardening, and tends a perfectly-sized kitchen garden and maturing food forest at her home in Northern California. Her holy trinity of gardening, cooking, and pottery are intertwined in a seasonally-based, locally-grown lifestyle which she hopes to share with those who are interested!
Sienna will be leading Gardening for Life.
