O n the island, gardens are rarely accidental. guidance of landscape architect, shaped over time and guided by a clear sense of style. The Garden Club has long influenced that standard, from public plantings to private estates, with flower shows that feel polished, competitive, and exacting. My own experience started very differently. The house is older, historic, and had gone through a stretch of neglect before I found it. The grounds reflected that. Overgrown, uneven, Landscaping is planned, sometimes with the and clearly in need of attention. But as I started clearing and looking closer, I realized something unexpected was already there. Orchids. Not placed or designed, just growing where they had settled over time. At the base of trees, tucked into corners, scattered throughout the property. They had survived for years on their own. The magical discovery of these delicate and ornate flowers changed my daily trajectory. I set out to rescue them. Carefully removing, repositioning, and giving them a better chance to thrive. I began by clearing the overgrowth, but shifted into restoration, backed by research on how to use the existing palm trees as structure, mounting orchids along their trunks to create a layered, living display of color. Not a formal garden, but a restoration. Working with what was already there rather than starting from scratch.
