Week 16 // Spring’s Bright Outlook
April 26th, 2015
For Earth Day a local real estate mangement firm asked me to give a talk and demonstration during a lunchtime event held on the rooftop garden of a hot LEED-Certified building in Seattle’s Southlake Union neighborhood.What a great chance to speak with office-bound hipsters from architecture, design and advertising agencies about LOCAL flowers and ECO design!
Local ornamental shrubs, perennials and flowering bulbs, with a few succulents tossed into the mix.
Here’s what I included in my design demonstration:
Euphorbia foliage, grown by Jello Mold Farm
Lilac blooms, grown by Jello Mold Farm
Poppies, grown by Jello Mold Farm
Anemones (pale purple), grown by Sonshine Flower Farm
Anemones (maroon-red), grown by Everyday Flowers
Fancy orange tulips, grown by Sonshine Flower farm
Bleeding hearts, grown by Ojeda Flower Farm
Potted succulents

Nice overhead detail that captures all of nature’s glorious forms and colors.
