We did it!!!
It took an amazing team to pull all this together. Thanks, thanks, thanks!!! Come say hello at the show.
UPDATE: We were just awarded the People’s Choice Award! (Sat. Feb 8, 2014)
Congratulations to the WSNLA/WALP Display Garden Team! Tonight, Nature’s Studio was awarded the following honors at the Opening Night Party of the Northwest Flower and Garden Show:
Gold Medal Award Winner, 425 Magazine Editor’s Choice Award, X Factor Award, Pacific Horticulture Society Award, and the Founder’s Cup (Best in Show)
What an honor for our Associations, Kirsten Lints, CPH (Gardens ALIVE Design), and Robert Boyker, ecoPRO Certified (Avid Landscape Design and Development LLC)!
The News Tribune loves our root cellar!
One of the most eye-catching gardens in the show was designed by Kirsten Lints and features a waterfall and pond built by Sumner’s Mark “The Pond Guy” Harp and his son Daniel.
Huge metal sculptures along with a stump reflect several styles in “Nature’s Studio.” The originality continues even in detail. A large pyramid of shiitake mushrooms adds an edible element. Nearby a hollow log has been outfitted with doors and filled with canned goods – nature’s root cellar.
Congratulations, Kerstin! I am so proud of you, but not a bit surprised. Well done!
Thank you Rose! It has been a fabulous journey.
