Leah Brook Brorstrom lives near Atascardero and Green Valley Creeks in Graton, on Full Bloom Flower Farm (formerly Wiggle Worm Bait Farm). A devotee to nature, she studied Ecology Behavior and Evolution at UCLA; University of Auckland, NZ; and Coconut Island Research Station, HI. After receiving her B.S., she worked for California Academy of Sciences department of Entomology with Dr. Evert I. Schlinger for The World Spider Parasitoid Laboratory, working primarily on The Fijian Bioinventory of Arthropods (FBA) with taxonomists around the globe.

In 2007, Leah moved back to her hometown and was offered the incredible opportunity to work for Louise Hallberg, of Hallberg Butterfly Gardens. During Louise’s final decade, Leah helped Louise to maintain and enhance the Gardens’ goals of educating the public and creating and maintaining wildlife habitat on 9 acres. She remains Treasurer of this almost 30 year old nonprofit, which she first encountered on a class tour when she was an eight year old student at Oak Grove Elementary.

Leah enjoys being outdoors, swimming and healthy environments!
