While at San Francisco State University and through years of travel, owner Tali's work in the flower trade continued with emphasis on farm-to-table, sourcing and care for perishable goods, and a focus on sustainable and seasonal. Tali's interests grew, as well as her love of working with her hands, and she began considering making floral design her career. She signed up for floral design classes, reinforcing practical knowledge gleaned from working in her newly-chosen field, while providing perspective and structure from skilled designers of prior generations, including a renowned master of Ikebana a Japanese art of flower arrangement.

In 2013 Tali and her brother Chris created a pop-up florist at an old firehouse in San Francisco, creating fresh arrangements and bouquets with seasonal flair, garnering instant popularity. This quickly flourished into a wedding and events-based floral design company, which they named Thistle. As they refined their approach, Tali brought her love of travel and respect for farm product and affinity for natural textures and vibrant color into her work. The design principle of movement resonates with her as she weaves natural elements and textures into bouquets that move through and hold space.

As the Thistle business grew, so did the need for a brick and mortar space. Tali began to search for an appropriate location in the Bay Area, and increasingly found herself drawn to the proximity of the fields and farms which provide the branches and flowers for her work.

Which brings us to Flower Casita, named simply for being just that, a physical space, in which to support events and celebrations, to hold workshops and educations, for work and retail, a designer's studio, and a place to meet the community. Please stop by and say hello!


With an accounting degree and a 20-year career in car racing, Danielle Stroble pushed it all aside to pursue a passion and a new creative space was born. Danielle is a connector, a collaborator, an amplifier. She works to educate leaders, executives, teams, brands on the message that the workplace should reside at the cross section of Brand + Space + Culture.

Danielle builds workplaces that support the complete individual: the need for meaningful human contact and connection, the desire for purpose, the ache for measured solitude (not to be confused with loneliness) and the longing for inspired physical space. Loneliness is a reminder that caring and connected communities form the foundation of a healthy culture, and we can begin to reimagine the workplace as an integral component to our overall health.

Danielle combines her years of experience designing and creating connected experiences and spaces with her continuing examination of workplace culture to bring awareness and support to organizations that want to create more holistic, aligned, connected and productive environments of their own. One of her more recent projects, Keller Street CoWork, is a collaborative workspace for creatives, freelancers, and other professionals. Keller opened its doors in 2018 in the heart of downtown Petaluma, CA. Complete with modern amenities, cutting-edge technology, and access to state-of-the-art equipment, this beautifully designed industrial space fosters a creative and inspiring culture while presenting connection opportunities with like-minded professionals and continued learning experiences.

 

What we believe at Keller: Creative minds thrive in a space that encourages lively collaboration, quiet thinking, and thoughtful action. We provide more than a place to work – Keller Street CoWork is a place to be connected and inspired.



This 100-seat gem of a theater, originally built as a church in 1911, is not only a historic part of Petaluma, it is also a much-needed performance venue that will serve our youth, and community, for generations to come!

In 1994, this building was dedicated to the memory of 12-year-old Polly Hannah Klaas, to honor her love of performing.
