Pup of the Week
 | |
Devon |
Devon is a Pomeranian who weighs around 11lbs, and is 8 years old - just neutered, hence the collar! He is a very sweet boy who loves humans and gets along well with other dogs. He's not much interested in playing. Devon is learning to be inside the house as he is used to being left in the dirt outside, and is definitely enjoying his warm, clean doggie bed! Devon's vocal cords are gone, so he cannot bark, and he has a relatively minor (grade 2 out of 6) heart murmur - his heart is slightly enlarged (pretty much par for the course for a Pommie of his age). Like every Pom we've ever met, he is self confident, outgoing, and friendly - an all around well behaved pup. | | |
You can find out more about Devon and our other dogs by giving us a call at 310-860-0171 or sending us an e-mail or visiting Bill Foundation.

For The Day
I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape. Something waits beneath it; the whole story doesn't show.

Historic Renovation
The Keyes To Success
The following article guides us through a garden renovation at the historic residence of the late James Beard, the famous chef and author. His old brownstone in New York's Greenwich Village has been transformed to become the home of the James Beard Foundation since his passing in 1985. After twenty five years, the garden which once was the scene of lavish social events and dinner parties, was in dire need of a makeover.
Our good friend and client Paul Keyes of Paul Keyes and Associates, was called in as part of an elite group in the landscape design and installation community who shared their time and talents to make this new garden a reality. This article leads us through a Ten Step process that was used to factor in all the elements that had to be considered in order to make this delightful and functional renovation.

A Second Course
by Claire Lui
On a leafy street in New York City's Greenwich Village stands a brownstone that was once the home of James Beard and now is the headquarters of his namesake foundation. Beard, a chef and author, was a key figure in 20th century American cooking, helping to transform dining culture with his cookbooks, articles, and the first television show about food, 1946's I Love to Eat. A droll man of obvious appetite, Beard once declared, "I believe that if ever I had to practice cannibalism, I might manage if there were enough tarragon around." He had a circle of of fabulous food-loving friends and would take any excuse to entertain, so his four-story home's garden became the site of now-legendary dinner parties.
The mission of the James Beard Foundation, launched in 1986, is to "celebrate, nurture, and preserve America's diverse culinary heritage and future," and it does so with educational programs, expositions, and, most agreeably, regular dinners at the house. Not much has changed at the building since Beard passed away in 1985. Its cozy rooms are filled with memorabilia and personal photos, and meals there, prepared by visiting chefs, have an intimate feel. Over the years, though, the gardens deteriorated from shabby chic to just plain shabby. The foundation had a small
