News from Sarah (Hundley) Garcia

Sarah (Hundley) Garcia wrote in recently with the following:
"I am living in San Francisco with my husband, Jon. We love the Bay Area and our lives here. For the past 10 years, I have been helping companies in transition or turn around situations and am now with a private equity fund helping them with some of their portfolio companies. My work has involved significant travel throughout Asia and parts of Latin America (nothing glamorous - mostly remote places most sensible people would avoid). In addition, I work on the weekends as a hotline crisis counselor, primarily for victims of domestic violence but also for people in other emergency situations. As for my roommates- I may not be as update to date as I would like, but here it is: May Tao just moved to the Bay Area from LA with her husband and two kids to accept a high level management position with an exciting medical start up venture. Yuka Manabe has been teaching at Johns Hopkins Medical School but is currently in Uganda for several years (with her doctor husband Jimmy and their 4 kids) helping to run a program for people with HIV. Becky and Jordie Symons are living in Seattle and their daughter just completed her Bat Mitzvah (are we really that old??). Ellen Whalen and her husband Nicholas (yale 1988) are living in a NYC suburb where Ellen also works as an internist and balances life as a mother to two great kids. Catherine Slusar and her husband are in Philadelphia with their twin girls (adorable and budding thespians) and are very active in the theater community there. Karen Yashar and her husband and two children are living in Minneapolis and Karen has taken a brief sabbatical from law before immersing herself in the corporate world again. Caprice Young is living in LA with her husband and three daughters and is running a company there - or is she running LA? Not sure- knowing her, probably both."

Fraud. Closed Annie’s annuals. Sold gift cards to people this weekend and then closed suddenly (due to apparent health issues), told employees after the fact. If you knew about health issues, why cheat people out of money and harm your employees. Awful

You destroyed a beloved bay area nursery and the bread trail of clues you've left online has many of us yelling BULLSHIT. You liked a article about health issues one week before the sudden closure of Annie's Annuals. No warning whatsoever for the community, nor the employees.

You perpetuate the scummy reputation that capital investment firms have these days. The press will be coming to ask you some tough questions soon.

I don't know you Sarah, but you owe me $200 for gift cards I purchased from Annie's Annuals. You have had my email and address to send me promotional materials. I left a voice mail at the nursery so you can refund my money. Or you can open the gate and I will happily take $200 worth of lovely plants. Wow do the right thing. How could you take such a beloved, happening place and treat it like crap?

Shame on all of you for commenting these hateful comments on someone blog spot that you don't even know.

None of you actually know Sarah. She's not the person you are imagining. Be careful what you put out there, everything comes back.

Hurt people hurt other people. I am so sorry for all of the victims and the wonderful employees that lost their job. I used to shop there, take the kids for a horticultural experience. Sarah needs to be held accountable for her actions. Sending prayers and love and justice for the victims.

Selling gift cards to people in in person / online after declaring bankruptcy would be fraud / wire fraud, correct? Is anyone following up on this issue with authorities? I've heard that there was $500,000. value worth of unredeemed gift cards.

Die in a fire

Wow. You need serious help. Horrible that you would want someone to die. Strange you've allowed a plant nursery to push you to the point that you want someone that you don't even know to die.

You bought Annie’s with the intention of running it a few years and selling the land once the area started redevelopment without knowing that the City of San Pablo planning department is a shitshow which is why you are so angry. When you heard about the salvage yard around the corner being sold, you figured it was to developers. (It was to a neighboring business that needed to expand) When the Feds finally lowered interest rates, you lowered the boom on your employees and loyal customers, squeezing out every drop of money by selling gift cards until the end. Regardless of any purported health issues, Leaving all the plants to die is total scorched earth behavior. At least call Planting Justice and have them take care of the plants, or take them to their nursury.

Obviously all the comments on here defending Sarah are probably from Sarah - she is a literal psychopath. I think she would be a great topic to pitch for a true crime podcast episode or even series, she is literally unbelievable. Once she becomes famous for her crimes that will be punishment enough, no more hiding
