About Sheryl's Virtual Garden
I’m the Sheryl behind Sheryl’s Virtual Garden, and I’m pleased to meet you! This is the place where you (and your customers) can enjoy nature’s beauty year-round. No watering, weeding, or other garden chores needed.
Here are a few key things about my brand you should know:
• I personally shoot and develop each and every card image. I use a variety of specialty lenses and creative artistic techniques to share with you the beauty I find in nature.
• I’m committed to offering an environmentally responsible product. The cards I supply to you are printed on high-quality, 100% recycled card stock.
• I believe in the importance of physical retail stores, large and small. Your success is vital to our local communities. You won’t find my products on Amazon.
• As a minority and woman-owned small business, I appreciate you and your support. Your satisfaction with my products and their success on your store shelves is important to me. Feel free to reach out to me at any time.
Sheryl’s Virtual Garden began after a chance encounter in my Los Angeles neighborhood. It happened in late 2019. I was out photographing flowers down the block from my home when a neighbor saw me and asked if she could see what I was shooting. After I showed her a few images on the back of my camera display, she said “you should turn these into greeting cards. There’s a market for nice cards with images like these.”
Although I was fairly new to photography then, the suggestion intrigued me, and shortly thereafter, Sheryl’s Virtual Garden was born. At the time, I was looking for a second career after a medical emergency forced an early retirement. Of course, then we had COVID, which turned our world upside down.
Fast-forward to today. I’m an internationally recognized, award-winning nature photographer. I’ve developed a line of fine-art prints in addition to my note card collection.
Traditionally my cards have been sold through art festivals like the prestigious Laguna Art A-Fair and on my website. Now I’m taking the plunge into wholesale distribution to reach a broader audience. I would love to partner with you to bring my vision of these beautiful florals to your local market.
