Michael is a retired Tucson native with background in raising koi fish and creating healthy pond ecosystems. His talents lie in creating symbiotic relationships between plants and fish in backyard sanctuaries. At one point, Michael managed 7 koi ponds and fountains in his backyard! His fondest childhood memories are visiting the many gardens in Germany where his father served in the Air Force. Today Michael enjoys working with customers at Waggle Bees and sharing his knowledge on native plants and birds. He can frequently be heard sharing information on bird migratory seasons in Tucson. He advocates for all pollinators in the environment. In fact, Michael is an avid bat watcher! He's a great resource for knowing where to see these night pollinators and installing a bat house if you're interested.
Lisamarie grew up in Oregon before relocating to Tucson. She studied Organic Gardening and liberal arts in college. Both sides of her family were her inspiration in growing flowers and vegetables. In her own words, "Both sides of my family were farmers. My Grandfather raised cattle and my Grandma had a huge Victory garden every year. My Great Grandparents won the Washington County Fair Blue Ribbon so many times for their outstanding cut flowers and vegetables that I'm surprised they were allowed to keep entering the categories. We all seemed to have a knack for growing something extra special in our family. My mother was gifted with roses- actually all garden flowers. I guess you'd say, I followed in my mother's and great grandma Flavel's footsteps in flower gardening. They had amazing gardens- all heavy with flowers, climbing over walls and teetering over benches. I don't know how someone couldn't fall in love with their flowers. We always had vases of flowers or arrangements on our table and around the house. Today my greatest joy is being a floral designer, working with flowers and sharing their beauty with others."

What is a Waggle Bee? Why is this important?
You may be asking yourself, "What is a 'Waggle Bee'?"
When a scout honeybee finds a cache of flowers like a meadow of wildflowers, he returns to the hive to share the buzz of good news with the other hive Bees. He does this by performing a cute jitterbug waggle dance signaling other scouts to follow him to the source. Thus, pollinating the flowers and feeding the hive to make honey. We are very excited to share with our customers what makes us different than other floral shoppes. Stop by and you'll see the difference.
