| Raves about Louis’ Gardens:
|
| Let me take this opportunity to congratulate you
on your work in The Gardens. After a two-year absence I returned to
them with astonishment. They look wonderful. |
| Stephen Sondheim, New York, NY |
|
| Bravo! Bravo! A zillion thanks for my Garden of Eden. |
| Alice Boss-Altman, Providence, RI |
|
| When we engaged Louis to landscape our Edwardian
home, we asked him to create a sanctuary to refresh our eyes and spirit
at the end of our busy day. This is what we got: a curving, box-lined
path to a small Grecian temple set amid deep beds filled with spectacular
greenery and a steady progression of flowers both delicate and daring.
The garden is a source of endless delight! |
| Dr. Carolyn Newberger, Brookline,
MA |
|
| Louis has made my shady Manhattan garden a lush outdoor
room that I savor year-round. I had no idea the range of rare and
attractive species that would thrive here in the city. |
| Robin Sedgwick, New York, NY |
|
| Louis Raymond adds the "wham" to our New England
Spring Flower Show. He inspires our exhibitors to design and create
displays that are exciting, inspirational, and distinctively horticultural
in character. |
| Dr. John C. Peterson, President
Emeritus,
Massachusetts Horticultural Society |
|
| Our garden is a glory. We could never have imagined
it on our own. Louis supplied not only the vision, but also the ineffable
defining spirit it has attained—harmony and wit. |
| Liza Collins and John Cady, Matunuck
Hills, RI |
|
| Louis has a great understanding of the symbiotic
relationship between landscapes and architecture. He inspires our
clients and us. |
| Michele S. Foster, Foster Associates,
Portsmouth, RI |
|
| As true beginners with very little knowledge, we
have been guided, taught, encouraged, and beguiled by the balance
and beauty of our grounds and gardens. Thank you, Louis, for the joy. |
| Bob and Linda Fischer, Providence,
RI |
|
| The key to my business is repeat customers, and Louis’
immense perennial borders, and his popular garden tours, are an essential
part of our successful marketing. Our theatre and restaurant patrons
can’t wait to come back to see the next show—both onstage
and in the garden. |

Artistic Producer, Theatre-By-The-Sea, Wakefield, RI |

| Louis’ lecture was mesmerizing. As funny as
he is brilliant, he enabled our membership to appreciate for the first
time the marvelous interplay of history and society in their own home
landscapes. |
Dr. Eli Newberger, The Tavern Club,
Boston, MA |
|
| Your talk was as humorous as your gardens are thrilling.
Thanks for entertaining the Association so memorably. |
Clara Hieronymous,

|
| If you ever retire from garden design, you’d
be terrific doing stand-up. |
Roberta Mohagen

|
| The only reason I’d miss one of your lectures
would be premature, unplanned death. |
