Our member florist, L’Olivier, has an amazing private garden in downtown Manhattan, and Garden Design Magazine hosted a VIP gathering there. The champagne was flowing as internationally renowned floral designer Olivier Giugni wowed the crowd with his secrets for creating chic arrangements. If you asked Olivier Giugni about his garden, he would tell you that it was enchantée. His lush garden has been artfully landscaped with an original mix of trees and plants including wax privet topiaries, Japanese stewartia, Japanese Maple, morning glory vines, asparagus ferns, different varieties of jasmine and even pineapples. Born in Provence, Giugni has always been inspired by the rich color palette of the South of France and its fragrant herbs which mixed with his strong sense of modern design gives him his signature style.
Truly a hidden paradise on an otherwise hectic corner of downtown Manhattan, the garden has been a special venue for many parties and small weddings. The 1500 square foot garden can host 50 guests (standing) for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. A bar can be set up in the charming pergola with a few food stations.
Dinner can be served in the 1500 square foot interior of the floral shop which can be transformed by his event staff to hold one long table of 30 with 2 round tables of 10. For those looking for something more intimate, L’Olivier can set a table for 12 guests on the covered outside deck. If all this weren’t enough, L’Olivier caters, too! It is an event planner’s dream… venue, flowers, food… all in one amazing place, orchestrated on by a brilliant designer who also has a warm, generous personality that lights up our world!
What an amazing place hidden away from the bustling streets right outside its vine-draped walls! No wonder Garden Design hosted their event there. What a perfect example of urban gardening.www.lolivier.com
