Debbie+Perez

Debbie Perez resides in Visalia with her husband. She works in Tulare at [|Palo Verde Elementary] as a fifth grade teacher and has been there for the past 14 years. She enjoys spending time with her 6 children and 8 grandchildren. Her dream vacation is to travel to the Holy Land to see the Dead Sea, Sea of Galilee and Jerusalem. Even though many people find that working in the garden is stressful, Debbie finds that it s a stress reliever (side note: Though Debbie now finds gardening to be a stress reliever, she once owned a home with 80 rose bushes. The task of caring for them was too much for her to accomplish and still maintain her own life.) Debbie loves the way her white flowers glow at night in her beautiful backyard. Her son recently commented on how lovely her flowers were at night.
