VALUED CUSTOMERS & FRIENDS+
How can we not be filled with gratitude when all of LA is in bloom?
Thank you to those of you who’ve enthusiastically confirmed your intention to join us on tours! It’s always a wonderful time of year, made even more special by the anticipation of seeing you, the chance to catch up, and the opportunity to connect people we adore with one another.
We are deeply grateful to our tour hosts Khoi Pham and Michael Solberg, Bea and Tom Schumacher, Doug and Claudia Forbes for opening gardens, as well as tour operators with the Theodore Payne Foundation and The Garden Conservancy. We’ve had so much fun preparing for this month with you!
Finally, thank you Jeanette Marantos and LA Times Plants for LA’s guide to the season!
Sincerely,
Cassy and Kirk Aoyagi
It’s such a beautiful, delightful world – here are some ways to get out in it!
LA Times. By Jeanette Marantos: With all the recent rain, 2024 is shaping up to be a fabulous year for flowers, not just in the wild but also in private gardens around Southern California. Lucky for garden enviers, many of those gates will be opening wide this spring as part of the annual fundraising tradition known as garden tours. Get the Guide
FormLA Team: Our tour hosts have deep expertise that adds to their gardens’ distinctive charm. Watch for Bea Schumacher’s award-winning cacti, Michael Solberg’s storybook succulent containers, and native foliage propegated by The Forbes. They’ve graciously shared tips! Learn from Hosts
