A Secret Garden Courtyard

PamWoertendyke AIFD, CCF, CFD, Owner, Consultant, Floral Design Specialist

In 1988 Pam Woertendyke opened A Secret Garden Florist at Shaw & Armstrong offering the local residents new and exciting ideas in floral design..
Just a few short years later she was able to move her shop to Herndon & Clovis Ave. Almost doubling the size of her shop she was able to incorporate fine gifts & candles and start a website, www.asecretgardenflorist.com , to better serve the growing needs of her customers. After 11 years at the Herndon location, Pam, being a forward thinking business woman, grabbed
the opportunity of a lifetime to relocate her business to 1542 Clovis Ave.
This new location now provides three times more space including an outdoor
garden to host parties and weddings. Now A Secret Garden is an upscale
flower & gift boutique unlike Clovis & Fresno has ever seen.

Pam has been trained by world renowned floral designers and stays active in the floral industry by teaching workshops and seminars and showcasing her floral design talent at local museums and charitable events. In 2002 Pam
became a member of the prestigious American Institute of Floral Designers.

Pam also stays active in the floral industry by helping promote AIFD by
supporting her local regional chapter and serving as a board member for the California State Floral Association. She is also hired by Fiesta Parade Floats as part of a floral design team for the Tournament of Roses Parade. Fiesta is the most award winning float builder of the history of the parade, and Pam is proud to be part of that.

Pam's keen business sense and love for what she does has been the core to
A Secret Garden's tremendous success.
