Articulture Designs

Gazing over the geometric, grassy 90- by 17-foot wall at the new Whole Foods Market in the Domain, it’s hard to imagine the wall’s craftsman was once a Sixth Street bartender. Yet, it was the full-time gig at the now-closed Louie’s 106 that first inspired Monique Capanelli to embrace the luscious, wondrous world of flowers, mosses, cacti and succulents that are now such a big part of her company, Articulture Designs, LLC. “I never wanted to be a florist, per se,” she says.

Yields 2 8-oz. Glasses
For years, the blackberry plant in our garden has plotted its takeover of the fence and surrounding area should we ever neglect to trim it back or stake it upward. Last year’s blackberry bounty was more fruitful than the combined harvest from years prior and left me with berries to use after exhausting jam and cobbler avenues.
