I am so happy that you found your way here to Simple Garden Kitchen. I am a lover of coffee, gin cocktails, rainy fall days, and a good chick flick. I am also owner of Leigh Rice Design a luxury boutique floral and event design studio based in the lovely city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 

I grew up in the Midwest and have lived in the beautiful Pacific Northwest for the last 12 years. Recently, I made my way back to the midwest and am excited to be living near family. When not traveling for work creating weddings you will find me spending time with my family and friends, and digging in my cut flower garden.

I love to cook, bake and entertain and I would love to share my recipes and tips with you. I am excited you are here!

Hi I'm Erica
