BOTANICA x TTL

photo by: ALAN GASTELUM

I am proud to present my newest plant project: BOTANICA. It is completed and looking so lively and green! When I was approached by the lovely design firm WEEKEND STUDIOS to create the plant atmosphere and green the space, I enthusiastically said YES! It was two women, Emily Fiffer and Heather Sperling, opening up a much-needed fresh market + restaurant right in the heart of my hood, Silver Lake! 

If you are in Los Angeles or visiting, you must go and eat there. Inhale deeply the fresh scents of honeysuckle,  jasmine + sage, and enjoy your meal as you sit next to the the giant ficus benjamina monique that is purifying the air! 

Thank you so much BOTANICA + WEEKEND STUDIOS!

shower time!

If you are living anywhere in Southern California, don't forget to water your plants right now! With this excessive heat they (we!) all could use some extra hydration. Do keep the drought in mind - water your plants if possible in a tub or shower all together, so that extra run off runs through to the other plants. You'll knock out your watering in one go, the plants will benefit from hanging out with one another, and you'll save some water. If possible, please try not to exceed watering to more than once a week. You can always email me for more information  ;)

The Standard Plant-scription

 

The Standard Hotel, Hollywood has had a plant-scription with me for almost a year now, and to this day it is one of my very favorite places to bring plants to! Their plant-scription consists of me bringing in plants that A) will last B) enhance the environment and C) are design appropriate for the Standard's keen aesthetic. Once all the plants are installed, I come in and water, administer vitamins (if needed) and make sure that everyone is thriving and happy. It's very satisfying to see my green friends not only live but thrive in this environment! I even brought a baby pineapple to maturity indoors! 

This week we included plants for their iconic pool. I worked closely with their design director to make sure that the plants out by the pool would look different than the usual suspects. We chose ones that resembled underwater sea-life, like corals and anemones. Immediately they were all very well received. Thus, the clients are happy, The Standard is happy, my green friends are happy, and I am (extremely) happy!

If you are curious about a plant-scription for your home, your office, your hotel, or to gift to someone else simply email me : lcuzor@yahoo.com  Let's start this conversation and bring in some nature indoors! Woohoo ; )

 xx thank you so much Jenni B. + The Standard Hotel! xx

 

Taylor Stitch : The Ladies Club

A few weeks back, my friends at Funkhaus and their friends over at Taylor Stitch asked if I would be interested in being featured in TS The Ladies Club. I was delighted and said why yes! of course. How fun! And fun it was - I got to showcase some of my favorite green friends, including that I brought to Funkhaus almost a year ago and continue to care for weekly through my plant-sciption service. I watch them like a proud mama, all of them thriving and growing. I made a new human friend along the way too, the brilliant Kate Jones of Ursa Major who outfitted me in head-to-toe Taylor Stitch. I like that all of their clothing is part tomboy, part sophisticated, and all the way cool. Overall, a really fun day that ended with a big lunch and a many good laughs. 

Thank you so much Funkhaus (you boys are so good to me) + Taylor Stitch!
