March Panelists:
Amanda Montgomery
Hummingbird Gardens
Established in late 2015, Hummingbird Gardens is a small scale culinary herb salt company and tiny cut flower farm. Owner and operator Amanda Montgomery is passionate about the local flower movement and making things that taste good. You can find the herb salts in almost a dozen shops throughout the Richmond area (and one in Chesapeake)! With hopes to expand to other parts of the state and beyond, keep an eye out for the salts as they grow!
Kelly Wombold
Chocolates By Kelly
My Great, Great, Great Uncle Al was a candy-maker by trade. He worked for Wunderlee’s Candy Company in Philadelphia, PA. Taking after him, my Great Grandmother, Mabel, made her living as a chocolatier for Mr. Wannamaker, in his famed department store. For many years, Mabel would only share her secrets with her daughter, Mary. The two of them cooked up the most marvelous confectionery concoctions imaginable. When I was 19 years old, my mother, her sister, and I traveled to Philadelphia to learn from the Master. That was over 22 years ago, and I have only scratched the surface of the glorious world of confections! There’s so much more to discover.
Aubrey Eicher
Certified Personal Trainer
Richmond Wellness
I became a personal trainer with a passion and desire to change lives positively – for the better. I am a holistic personal trainer. I work with everyone from the newcomer to the seasoned athlete, and everyone in between, who wants to create sustainable, enjoyable lifestyle changes and achieve their health, fitness and wellness goals. I have certifications, I have experience, and I’ve helped people get results – but what I believe is most important to include in that list, is that I have heart. That heart is What do YOU want to accomplish?
