TWIN LAKES FOOD BANK GARDEN COORDINATOR

Michelle began as a garden volunteer in 2021 and soon stepped into the role of Garden Coordinator, bringing with her a lifelong connection to growing up on a vineyard in Mendocino County. With a background in animal science and floral design, she is passionate about the intersection of food, community wellness, and environmental health. When she’s not tending the garden or supporting guests, she’s busy raising her family, caring for pets (including chickens!), cooking, enjoying the outdoors, and stewarding the special land that is the Twin Lakes Garden.
