The inspiration for this design was the desire to take a no-longer-wanted object and transform it into something both fun and functional for the garden. Why throw something away when you can reuse it in the garden? Now what once was a rusted old chair without a seat is a whimsical planter whose foliage can change with the seasons.

I’m always searching for ‘rusty gold.’ I like incorporating salvaged items or architectural elements into my spaces. These once-forgotten relics can transform a garden and make it feel more personal.” –CHARLIE THIGPEN

At Resendiz Brother Protea Growers, in Rainbow, CA, the cliffs are steep…

and the flowers are hypnotic…

The place is unlike any “farm” we’re used to.  Rocky, dry, and so full of beauty….

At her chateau in the bucolic French countryside, artist Claire Basler paints sumptuous, extravagant work from arrangements she creates out of the gardens just beyond her window.

The artist’s arrangements from her gardens inspire her paintings, which are not realistic re-creations. Rather, she captures the flutter of a petal, the arch of a stem, and the colors of the sky.

Maurice Harris of Bloom & Plume in Los Angeles makes a lush arrangement that takes his favorite color to new heights.

“Layering taller elements on opposite sides of a design gives it movement and makes your eye undulate throughout. Everything should feel balanced and organic. I like my flowers to look very natural, as though they’re doing exactly what they want.”  – Maurice Harris
