24 Carrot Garden

How does your garden grow?

Jake's talked about gardens, his parent's, his friend's, and even doing some gardening of his own. He's visited famous gardens, like the Jardin Marjorelle. You kind of bet he's been to Roland's gorgeous garden in LA too.

And he's talked about gardening himself. And it looks like he's grown up with and has now landscapes created by one of the most celebrated landscapers in LA, Jay Griffith of Griffith & Cletta. "Jay Griffith's work is fit for a Hollywood movie, his landscapes are dressed sets in the best sense. So it is only fitting that many of his clients are Hollywood types as well. Jay's firms have always produced stunning visual compositions of color, material and space that unfold in carefully scripted sequence."

A couple of examples of his work.

You could say that Jake's a gardening fan boy. Who else wears hats of some of their favorite landscapers?

A carrot in a garden
And a rabbit in the wood.
Said the rabbit, “Beg your pardon,
But you’re surely meant for food;
Though you’ve started in to harden,
You may still be very good.”
