Letty has taught and painted for Stanford’s Drama Department, the SF Ballet and Opera, ACT, and numerous other stages in San Francisco. After supervising the paint shop for Acme Scenery Company, she felt she needed to pursue her passion for gardening. She worked at Clement Nursery for two years during the pandemic, which led her to seek out the UC Master Gardener volunteer program. Letty is happy to devote her time to growing both her young baby boy and the Master Gardener mission.
