ABOUT US
WildFlora began as the business venture of brother-sister duo, Alexandra and Michael Scholtz. It was established in 2014 as a residential landscape and floral design one-stop shop. However, the pair has since been able to expand their business into two separate entities under the same roof. If you're looking for the floral shop, you can find them by clicking here.
WildFlora Design Studio works to create beautiful, contextually-sensitive design solutions for our SoCal clients.
Owner + Principal Landscape Designer
MIKE SCHOLTZ
Mike has loved the outdoors from a young age and followed that love to SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, where he got his degree in Landscape Architecture. While learning the craft of design in college, he also worked for a nursery, relishing the chance to get his hands dirty and learn firsthand about the installation side of the business. After a couple years of exploring the corporate world and spending his days in an office on a computer, Mike knew it was time to get back outside and start his own company. He started WildFlora in 2014, sketching designs for clients from his home. Nowadays, though the business has grown, Mike still loves traveling and spending time outdoors when he’s able to take a break from the business.

JJ OBEE
Every authentic L.A. business needs a resident actor, and JJ is ours. She hails from the land of Buckeyes, where she studied landscape architecture at The Ohio State University. After graduating, JJ moved to Houston, Texas, working in the commercial realm of landscape architecture. Her design credits include rooftop gardens, resorts, streetscapes, and plazas, with her heaviest concentration on public playscapes. Though she made the move to California to pursue acting and writing, she has joined us part time to keep design in her life. JJ only accepts payment in the form of Dippin’ Dots or mochi ice cream.

EJ is dynamic, enthusiastic, energetic ... a wild spirit like WildFlora! A great combo of passion and delicacy for your garden. He loves blue hydrangeas, photography, and Lana Del Rey.
Business Manager
NICOLE "COCO" AMADOR
Nicole “Coco” Amador is our master organizer, coming to us all the way from Redondo Beach. Though she rocks out on the admin side of things, her love of nature makes her a great addition for WildFlora. It should be noted that she owns three sleeping bags (rated for different temperatures), and multiple “ready-to-go” camping boxes, allowing her to be launched into nature at a moment’s notice. She comes with an eclectic past, multiple roles at Lemonade Restaurant from Cashier on up to Project Manager, Au Pair’ing in Australia, and professional scooter-riding in Bali.

IVONNE GUZMAN
Ivonne traversed multiple lines of latitude when she moved from Ecuador to Los Angeles in 2018. Since arriving, she has found the vibrant, non-stop cultural hubbub and artistic expression of the city so inspiring. With a background in journalism, it is no surprise that she quite enjoys reading and writing. But that’s not all! In her free time, she also enjoys watching movies, going to concerts, and catching the beautiful California sunsets.
