Pamela Marentis

The Succulent Marketplace

Pamela has been working in the world of horticulture and succulents for over 25 years. Growing up in Ohio on six acres of lush green forest, she learned her love of nature from her father who carved out rivers and ponds and also unearthed a natural spring on their property. She majored in horticulture at Ohio and Arizona State University and later moved to the Monterey Bay Area where she established her first successful retail and wholesale flower business. Pamela was awarded Best Floral Shop three years in a row. In 2010, she moved to Sacramento and started a retail European Garden Basket business catering to the floral industry. She lives with her husband and cats and is now the owner of The Succulent Marketplace. Pamela sells her succulents at weekend farmer’s markets and Soil Born Farms special events.
