the weekly stem
my lovely client, LK, loves to draw, and once a week i drop off a single stem for her…well, most times it’s two or three due to my chronic indecision. this week’s delivery: a radish i grew!
she wasn’t home when i left it wrapped in korean newsprint, but it wasn’t long until i got an email from her that said “did I read your mind when I submerged the beet into a big glass vase full of water with the leaves coming out of the top?”
…i love my job!

happily ever after…
saturday, miss maggie & mr. joe
tied the knot at the michigan theater…
then celebrated their union at the venue
formerly known as leopold bros.
a local wedding to the max.
pot & box was there with the greens of
summer and classic whites & ivories:
bells of ireland, fuji mums, calla lillies,
waxflower, hypericum berries, as well
as sage & lamb’s ears from my garden.
…much love & luck to mr. & mrs. fritz…
…even the ann arbor chronicle stopped & watched…

my specialty…
last week, i planted up this hayrack hanging box available at downtown home & garden.
s&s really like “warmer pinks and blues in an exotic, exuberant look,” and i think i created that for them.
what do you think, dear reader?

farmers’ market wedding
what a weekend!
jenny & art got married at the kerrytown farmers’ market,
and not only did pot & box provide the flowers,
but i stayed on to cater with a knife’s work.
saturday was a glorious afternoon,
which turned into a magical evening…

p&b in nyc
a month ago, i got an email from a client asking if i knew anyone in new york who does what i do, to do up her daughter’s balcony garden in brooklyn. and i in fact do–dig in park slope–but said clients daughter was interested in finding out if yours truly would be interested in spiffing up the spot. the answer was an obvious, ridiculous YES. and while i have MANY other projects to post about, the trip not only rejuvenated my spirit, but inspired my inner blogger. and so this is, the first of many, many ketchup posts:
some standard before shots…
and, the glorious after shots:

good news/bad news
first the bad news: i have been a complete slacker about posting.
good news: it’s because i’m SUPER busy!
here are a couple shots of my seed-starting operation
as proof that i am doing indeed up to my ears in projects…

portland nursery, my alma mater…
when i lived in portland, oregon back in what-seems-like-a-different-life-ago, i worked at the COOLEST NURSERY EVER. portland nursery was stocked with anything you could want to grow and a staff that could teach you anything you could want to know.
now, i live e-cariously through their fabulous website. it’s informative & beautiful.
for obvious reasons, my favorite feature is the monthly container design recipe.
happy clicking.
as a side note…is there a special, yet far away place that you, dear readers, keep up with through the website?
tell me about it!
