Our Team
“Flowers just happen to be the medium my life path has chosen.”
Tali Bouskila
Founder
Tali’s values are based on a belief that supporting local farms is imperative to the health of our community and the ecology of the planet. Choosing Petaluma as the home of Flower Casita felt natural, growing up in the area and viewing the entire North Bay as home. Her relationships with local farms up and down the 101 corridor and the multitude of different climates found in the region make farm to table and seasonal sourcing easy to achieve. Tali believes that being an artist is not only about the creation of art, but a way of observing and living in this world.

“My favorite bloom is whatever is in season, especially when it has been grown just down the street. ”
Tasha Todt
Visual Marketing
Plants have always played a pivotal role in Tasha’s life. Growing up in an old chicken barn in west Petaluma, nasturtium vines grew through the old wood walls, flowering right in her bedroom. Growing up on ten acres, the family always tended large gardens of fruit, veggies, and flowers.
Tasha later grew into a career in floristry as she pursued botany in school, farmed flowers on the side, and eventually started her own medicinal herb farm, Meadowland Herbs, in Petaluma, CA.
She considers Sonoma County a magical place. One of abundant ecosystems, organic local farms, and blooming beauty.
