He was the commencement speaker at my graduation from the Fashion Institute of Technology in 1983!<br />I noticed this Summer when visiting Manhattan, that there were flowers all over the upper east side, which was nice to see.<br />Heard a funny story about the lady on Park Ave serving her husband lunch on the terrace: "Hurry up and eat your soup honey, before it gets dirty" ! Ha! So NY !<br /><br />Dean FarrisDean Farrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11651467227402717540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-73227673479332915432015-10-21T09:45:47.561-04:002015-10-21T09:45:47.561-04:00Quatorze, How fascinating!

The making of this concept into an over-arching principle was brought to perfection under Louis XIV and his master gardener, Andre Le Notre. The garden work at Versailles was named with interior nomenclature, such as Tapis Vert (green carpet, for the lawn leading to the Apollo Fountain), Salles de Verdure (green rooms), Buffets d'Eaux (marble fountains in the shape of tiered buffets serving up cascades of water) etc. In the early years of the palace, many of the internationally famous fetes at the palace where held in the gardens exclusively, with bosquets designed to be ball rooms, dining rooms, theatres, etc. There is nothing good under the sun...Quatorzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337746034416005462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-38667183967869034142015-10-21T09:30:05.747-04:002015-10-21T09:30:05.747-04:00Jennifer it really is like a secret garden, so lov...Jennifer it really is like a secret garden, so lovely and lush! <br /><br />xoxo<br />Karena<br />The Arts by Karena<br />Halloween Artistry!Karenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05206642885608991170noreply@blogger.com
