A Thank You That Grows

The other day, a sweet customer named Oliver sent our sales superstar Allison a grow-a-garden thank you note!


This is what it looked like last week. Then, over the weekend, the little sprouts got sad without their daily water. Gustav said that without decay we cannot have growth, but Allison added a little water and nudged them toward the sun's rays with hope in her heart.

Now the sprouts seem to be bouncing back! The garden is a "matchgarden" by Another Studio, which has loads of beautifully designed and affordable gifts.

It makes us think of one of our favorite environmentally-minded landscape techniques: front lawns with sustainable, native plants, or vegetable gardens instead of grass. Our own building's front yard has some super-cool bioswales, but that's a horse of a different color, or a blog of a different color, or for a different day, or...

It truly is the season of new growth!
