Last week, I was one of 30 people who donated their time to assist home and office furniture maker Herman Miller in planting garden material at the Madonna House. Herman Miller donated trees, shrubs and perennials to Catholic Charities for one of their homes in Wrigleyville. Thanks to everyone who helped out that day. It was such a great way to help out a local charity.
Christy Webber Landscapes recently installed a temporary landscape feature at the Merchandise Mart for the upscale furniture company Herman Miller. The install consisted of numerous plantings, including flowers shrubs and even trees. It might not sound too impressive until you consider the installation was built on a flat bed and sat in front of the mart near the river. Impossible? Of course not. Easy? Well maybe not easy, but I'd like to think we're always up for a challenge, big or small.
