 I've
loved to garden ever since I was a little girl when I followed my mom
around our garden in Franklin Village, Michigan. I remember her
tending to bright red oriental poppies while I sat in the grass next
to her anxiously waiting for an invitation to help. Many years later
my own little girl, Alex, would toddle after me with her miniature
garden trowel hoping for her chance to "play in the dirt" and feel the
magic of the sun and the earth and the flowers.
A wonderful thing happened to our family three years
ago. Alex was no longer a little girl, in fact, she was 11 years old
and our son, Geoff, was 13. I had a growing garden design and catering
business, Planters & Platters, in Littleton, Colorado. One beautiful
spring day, I invited my clients and their friends over to look at
some garden accents I wanted them to see. Four hours later after the
last of many guests had left, my husband, Greg Ball, and I knew we had
the beginnings of an exciting new business.
Greg and I first started The Furnished Garden in
October 2001 as a web site with the idea that it would feature home
and garden accents that would inspire others to make their
surroundings more beautiful and interesting. I've always believed that
you should celebrate your home with the ones you love so we quickly
added beautiful items for entertaining as well. Soon it occurred to us
that many people who enjoy our products might be interested in a
family-friendly business that they could call their own. We started
the home party division in May of 2002. It makes all the sense in the
world - our sales consultants enjoy setting their own priorities and
financial goals and our customers are thrilled to see our beautiful
products in the comfort of the home, where they are intended to be
used.
Whatever the reason for visiting us at The Furnished
Garden - whether it's to shop for beautiful garden accents or a gift
for a friend or, to find out about hosting a home party or, to look
into becoming an Independent Furnished Garden Consultant - we are
delighted that you are here!
Welcome to The Furnished Garden. We hope you'll stay a
while!
Warm Regards,
Karen Hasse and Greg Ball
