Flowers, spring around the corner, art in the garden…
Category: SFA Blog
Hello to all our wonderful clients and garden design enthusiasts! We are looking forward to the spring, and seeing many of you at the Flower Shows dotted across the Eastern Seaboard…
Starting with the Vermont Flower Show, from March 1-3, Philadelphia March 1-10, Boston March 13-17, and Newport, Rhode Island, June 21-23… Sharing our inspiration and enthusiasm for Asian garden design and art will be a wonderful antidote to the eccentricities of winter.
We completed an amazing trip to Japan and China at the end of last year, meeting up with our incredible family of contacts and suppliers, including a Japanese lantern collector who is the repositor of most all the lanterns in his preficture that are up for sale. In addition, he and his son are stone carvers and craft their own lanterns to our garden design specifications. We felt fortunate to meet at his three generation family compound, to learn about Japanese lanterns and their history, and to bring a number of lanterns back to share with you.
