WestWind Succulents
Jennifer Ahlstrand grew up in her great grandmother's house in Walnut Creek, California. As a kid, she worked in the garden potting various plants her mother had propagated, not knowing the deep connection she developed with helping plants to grow. From an early age, Jennifer loved to paint, draw and dabble in all things creative. Jennifer graduated from California College of the Arts in 2006 with a degree in sculpture, and worked as a Production Designer at Macy’s Union Square in San Francisco for seven years, creating iconic and imaginative window displays. She created WestWind Succulents because she found her favorite thing to do: paint with plants. (Although she doesn’t know what she loves more, designing arrangements, or propagating the plants themselves.) Her favorite Succulent is the Echeveria 'Wooley Rose' because of its rosette shape and soft fine fuzz covering its leaves.
