VANESSA GUZMAN
FOUNDER Working with a connection to nature was always her goal, influencing her study in landscape architecture. She honed her design sense with the understanding of space, place, and the factors that make it unique. After a deepening a love for gardening in the Pacific NW she launched Portland Bloem, a boutique garden shop and design company named for her family heritage and the unique place she holds so dear. |
