Cocoon Garden and Design



Melanie joined momcafé after attending one of the events and found that it immediately resonated with her on so many levels. Melanie brings to momcafé a myriad of experiences. She has a background in the arts: creating, teaching and event planning as well as being the founder of the Squamish Lantern Festival; she lived in New York and studied sculpture and was an assistant art director for some small movies; she worked in the corporate world for a number of years in marketing administration; she lived and worked in England, where she opened up organic food stores and worked in a women's health care clinic; then went on to explore Italy where she restored an old farmhouse, acquired horticulture skills and learned Italian. Melanie also has a green thumb and took on an apprenticeship to gather more horticulture knowledge to start her own small gardening business. She has a passion for learning, loves exchanging ideas and connecting with others. She looks forward to melding all her experiences in a unique way and applying them to her next adventures. Her biggest adventure by far is morphing into motherhood with the birth of her son, who was born in 2006. Melanie is excited to be involved with momcafé and be apart of a community of like minded, inspiring women.

Melanie has 1 child.
