About Sunflower Farm
Sunflower Farms is a four-acre nursery and landscape company located in Torrance, California. It was established in 1975 as a wholesale plant grower by Ron Akiyama and his father Tom Akiyama. Today, it’s a thriving retail establishment.
About Wendy Akiyama
Wife of Sunflower Farms founder, Ron Akiyama, Wendy is a native Hawaiian who fell into the nursery business by association. Immersed in her career as a Business Sales Rep for Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, she vowed never to work in her husband’s nursery. That all changed when she became a full-time mother of three when she was subsequently reconnected with her lifelong love of art, nature. It was then she was drawn to the nursery where she would help Ron create the beautiful meandering gardens of Sunflower Farms.
Today, she designs and installs those garden dreams for her clients by doing what she loves best: getting to know people, helping them accomplish more than they hoped for while making friends in the process.
