Southeastern Flower Show Dargan Installation Begins!

February 3, 2010

Birthing this baby is in full force today. Much after a trial run at the GA Home Show, but one ton of grit was a bear of a challenge to unload into a swirling dervish of a marketplace! The Southeastern Flower Show opens tomorrow (Thurs, Feb 4 – Sat at 8pm) and is located at the Cobb Galleria in Atlanta.

Hugh and I will have book signings at Eagle Eye and and autographed books are also available at our beautiful display.

Come put in your name for a free book in the drawing on Saturday and come to the “Meet up with Mary Palmer & Hugh” where we’ll give away 5 plants.

Timeless Landscape Designs in a Day: Virginia Beach workshop

January 24, 2010

The Mid-South Horticultural Short Courses, sponsored by The Virginia Horticultural Foundation, started today with a wiz-bang demonstration of potions and liqueurs. I tested samples of 8 different flavors from lemoncello to kahlua to creme-de-minthe, the real thing. Fabulous flavors with a kick; what a perk to a lecturer.

Tomorrow, I test a new teaching method of Raw, Built and Living Overlays to an over sold audience of 82 people. Whew. Will report back on how many different solutions can be produced for a mountain, courtyard or urban landscape, as students have choices of projects. The audience consists of homeowners, horticulturists, landscape designers and allies professions. All very jovial people, maybe I should serve a potion or liqueur at the end of the 6 hr session?

Georgia Spring Home Show Dargan Landscape Architects Stunning Exhibit

January 9, 2010

Georgia Spring Home Show is in full force today. Our first exhibit at a trade show absolutely surpassed my wildest expectations. Our forced bulbs in full bloom: hyacinths, muscari, galanthus, dwarf dutch iris. The moss rich green and moist, Spanish moss hanging realistically from the rafters, the leaf green fountain bubbling, baby Kingsville boxwoods in place and paving complete. Arbor spectacular…it is recycled from the Palladian one in our book and modified for the show. It is solid cypress.

Many thanks to David Okun and his marvelous crew: Mundo, Victor and Gino for installation, Steve Miller for boxwoods, Chrissie Hendritze and her mother Connie Mathis for planting everything, and Curt Jackson and Hugh Dargan for painting, lifting and unloading heavy columns, and Chrissie & Mp for the 10×20′ amazing backdrop execution.
