VALUED CUSTOMERS & FRIENDS+

Thank you to the Forbes, Rabinovs, and the Weiss+Lindberg families for graciously opening their gardens for the Native Plant Garden Tour.

We’ve always felt profound gratitude to our tour hosts for their hospitality. This year’s hosts signed-up for the in-person tour in fall of last year. Despite the ups and downs LA has experienced since, they consistently conveyed confidence and joy in hosting. It gave us great boosts of the same!

Looking forward to seeing you – and a whole lot of lovely – out there!

Sincerely,

Cassy and Kirk Aoyagi
