Turbocharge your Landscape with PLACE and Create the Utopia of YOUR Dreams

January 10, 2013

Would it be a relief to discover a simple set of steps that puts you in the driver’s seat to create your personal oasis?  I’m sharing this on Thursday, January 10 at 8 pm ET and you can sign up at  http://www.landscapeyourlife.com/3steps.

In 5 secret steps with this unique, tested, learning system called PLACE, you will break the genetic code for your property, and create a unique SPIRIT of PLACE …without breaking the bank.

PLACE, a virtual landscape design blueprint system, outlines therapeutically proven ways to transform your environment into the oasis of your dreams. Did you know simply being in nature, imbedded in a tapestry of green, it only takes a short moment to drop your stress hormone level from high overdrive to a balanced state?

Just  5 minutes outside -in  a green place- is proven to dramatically effect a change in your mental outlook. Being embedded in nature diverts your current mindset you gain a new perspective. This helps you get “out of your chattering mind” and back into your body so it can heal, or be inspired.

Unleash the power hidden in your property, and discover your own potential in the process.

After all these years of designing for hungry clients and adult students, I had an an epiphany and manifested a system that gets results. As a gift, please look for my beautiful booklet,  5 Secret Tips to Immediately Improve Your Property, my favorite ways to tune-up my client’s problem spots!

I look forward to “seeing” you at the webinar and sharing my top 3 ways to jump-start your property.  http://www.landscapeyourlife.com/3steps

A Jolly Holley Christening Party!

November 26, 2012

A fire pit, 5 friends and a bottle of bubbly! What could be better on a cold November Saturday?  Well, dinner afterwards and a game of pop the cork !

Bill Holley, owner with Mara of the new terraces, manned the champaign saber and off with its head…apparently this was how Napolean’s crew did it in the early days!

Mara , Bill and her mother, Jan, Hugh and Mary Palmer Dargan enjoyed the warmth from “the first fire in the pit”…it was heading towards 23degrees out in western carolina overlooking beautiful Panthertown Valley.

John Warren installed and Dargan Landscape Architects put the plan in to action. Voila!

Catapult your Landscape into the Oasis of your Dreams!

October 17, 2012

There comes a time, rare and sweet, when your friends want to honor something you’ve done.

On Wed, Oct 24 at 4 pm at the Atlanta History Center’s McElreath Hall, the Cherokee Garden Library is hosting a fabulous, fashionable- funky and free event designed to rock your garden’s socks.  http://www.atlantahistorycenter.com/cms/Lectures+/494.html

You know, I’m kinda like a box turtle in the shrubs, munching and moseying my way thru life, following the trail less trodden and mostly undefined.

With my heart doing the navigation instead of my head, I wandered into a zone called environmental transformation, and created a book called Lifelong Landscape Design: Environments of Health and Longevity. Just say’n, cuz I’m the speaker.

Of course, the publisher cut the title down to 3 words, but the intent is clear

Do you want a property that will nourish your body and soul for the rest of your life?

Well, hang on to your hat, grandma and grandpa, because I’ve got the secret formula.

Please bring your mother, father, cousin Sarah and Uncle James, assorted children & friends to this wonderful event.Yvonne Wade and Virginia Almand are co-chairs and Adelaie Burton is the design director… this is a most hip, fun, informative MUST BE THERE Happening!
