Ashley Adelson
Ashley Adelson, a California native, completed her bachelor’s degree at Chapman University and earned her MBA while living in Europe. She continued to live abroad while she worked in the active travel industry. During this time, Ashley’s passion for gardening grew as she toured notable gardens throughout the world. As time progressed, Ashley developed and led philanthropic programs in North America, Asia, and Africa where her continued passion for nature, culture, and building connections flourished. Now, as a full-time resident of Montecito, Ashley nurtures her passion derived from her time and experience abroad. She dedicates her days to practicing regenerative farming, learning about soil health, and cultivating a blossoming garden. She is becoming expressive in the science behind the garden as well as the aesthetics which make it appealing to the viewer.
