Brooklyn Botanical Gardens
We took a field trip recently and thought we'd share a few of the views we took in....
Lots of unexpected crocus sightings!
Not to brag or anything ;) but we were fortunate enough to be in the presence of one of the most widely respected horticulturists alive today, Michael Dirr. All and all a beautiful day and a lot of smiling took place... This is a shot of Nathan and Kilian in front of Patrick Dougherty's remarkable work!

Where to begin?! And a few things to consider...
Well, first and foremost a very happy belated New Year to everyone! So far we're off to a running start and couldn't be happier.
All Decked Out has been fortunate enough to stay nice and busy up through the holidays! We fertilized, mulched and closed down the gardens for the winter and in November planted over 4,000 bulbs!!
Are you looking forward to spring as much as we are?!
In December Kilian was kind enough to host a fantastic All Decked Out Holiday party at a local Chelsea restaurant where everyone was nothing but smiles...
in case you were looking for proof!This time of year is bittersweet for us gardeners. We get a chance to take a load off....
...but we miss the dirt beneath our nails. We've had a fortunate year (winter) so far with calls pouring in from people who want to be ready for the spring!! Needless to say we are grateful spring is nearing.

No garden too high- No Fountain too heavy!
It has been one jam-packed season so far! We feel very grateful here at All Decked Out for having had such an active and busy season overflowing with clients who only make us happier to be designers and gardeners. Since its been so long since our last blog we'd like to skip ahead to our adventure this afternoon and in the blogging to come fill you in on our beautiful spring season...
Today at ADO five of our strongest came together to accept a 500lb fountain delivery! Ben, Coire, Scott, Nathan and Kilian certainly had their work cut out for them. With four men holding the crate, while one navigated, one would think it would be a piece of cake. Right? Well, as it turns out there were some minor complications....
getting it to fit.
But as the saying goes what doesn't kill us makes us stronger and as it turns out everyone survived and with brute strength...
and a few adjustments...
we we're in!!
Well, we're excited to have shared this with you and are very proud of our strong team and their hard work! If at first you don't succeed, try, try again and sometimes another time if you have to...
