UC Master Gardener Presenter Yvonne Liu: Born in Shanghai, Yvonne spent her formative years in Hong Kong where she trained as a classical pianist. After attending the California Institute of Technology and Stanford, Yvonne worked in the investment banking industry. She soon became a stay-at-home mom to care for her sons, one of whom was diagnosed with autism at age 2. Witnessing the power of music on children, she became a licensed Kindermusik teacher and taught studio classes and preschools. At the same time, she maintained a private piano studio for elite students at her home. Since 1995 Yvonne has been a student of the Ikenobo school of flower arrangement. Her love of flowers propelled her to join the San Mateo County Rose Society. She became a UC Master Gardener in 2024.
