It’s Spring - Lets Party
“Spring is nature’s way of saying:
Let’s party!”
And so we did; just as winter was touching spring Allen Land Design teamed up with Studio Replica to create an amazing display of lushness for the San Francisco Flower and Garden Show. Hours of hard labor was involved, but the payoff was great! We came away with a Gold Medal and the Garden Creator Award, and of course we partied at the Opening Night Gala in all its glamour.
IT was a great way to jump into spring and we have not looked back since. Many projects are in the works and the Design Studio is in full swing. As others in ALD had the chance over winter to study new materials, design elements and software programs, I have been taking my interest in organics and sustainability a step further by participating in a biodynamic study group and beginning the process of certifying our Olive Tree Nursery Biodynamic through the Demeter Association. What a learning experience! Soils, stars, history, minerals, preparations and sprays, compost, compost and more compost! It is such a vast study, yet gaining much momentum, as we all begin to take a look at how our agriculture and viticulture systems can become more sustainable. Give us a call or drop us an email if you would like any more information regarding this fascinating practice.
Well, spring is definitely in the air and we look forward to renovating and installing your gardens, especially with all the great ideas we've picked up during our winter studies. Contact us today and before you know it, you'll be throwing your own garden party, surrounded by natural beauty, good friends and of course, the magic of spring.
Sincerely,
Anne-Marie Allen and Jeff Allen
