HOW FLORACOTTA WORKS…
1. Book a Consultation
Tell us about your garden dreams and goals. We'll talk about your style, space, and experience - to design a garden that will inspire you to live your best life every day. The consultation includes a custom garden design, planting plan, and estimate.
2. Design + Plan
We present you with an artist-rendered garden design in line with your style and goals. Say, "Let's build it," and our team will take your custom plan, remove the stress, heavy lifting, and plan your kitchen garden installation that feels like an extension of your home.
3. Install
A team will install your kitchen garden starting with leveling the ground, adding pathways, raised beds, trellises, compost soil, irrigation, and a one-time vegetable planting. Maintenance care plans are available to help you get the most out of the garden.

A KITCHEN GARDEN IS A STUNNING INVESTMENT IN YOUR HOME.
Hello, I’m Faith Ford,
The founder of floracotta®. I've always loved plants; many of my earliest memories involve foraging wild berries, gardening, and laying in the grass for hours looking for a four-leaf clover. Maybe you have similar memories.
As I grew older, I served as the Beautification Chair for the Los Feliz Improvement Association in Los Angeles, California, hosting clean-ups and protecting the Historic Deodar cedar trees on Los Feliz Blvd.
When 2020 arrived, my work in events came to a halt due to Covid; with the newfound time, I spent my time in the garden and studying soil biology.
I started to realize the massive impact soil microorganisms' have on our plants, health, and environment. As a new soil advocate, I also fell in love with the beauty of the kitchen garden. I realized I could pivot my career to align with my values and merge my passion for gardening, design, and soil biology into a company that looks good does good, and feels good.
I find land & water stewards, seed savers, regenerative farmers, and home gardeners to be the unsung heroes of our time and essential to our future.
In the fall of 2020, I founded floracotta®. My favorite part of being a small business owner is the people, sharing the mystique a home garden can offer and encouraging others to grow a little bit of food to support a healthy planet for healthy humanity through the practices of regenerative organic gardening.
Whether you're a gardener, looking to garden, or want to create a space for your children to build a relationship with nature and create memories, I'm glad you're here.
The world needs more gardeners. Together our small efforts can make a BIG change.
