Growing Wild
A oral ableo success
By Pamela Corante-Hansen
once upon a time, two axen-haired twin sisterswith Pepperdine degrees and a knack for beachvolleyball presented their enterprising parents with
a tiny seed of an idea. This was no ordinary seed, for
it contained the potential to bring love, beauty and
peace to everyone who was touched by the fruits of
its harvest. The parents gave their blessing, and the girls planted the seed in
a soil rich with creativity and business smarts. They sprinkled it with posi-
tive thoughts and hard work, and the seed grew into a beguiling oral shop
housed in a seaside cottage. The sisters called it Growing Wild.
Twenty years later, this Manhattan Beach institution is celebrating two
decades of gracing homes, weddings, parties and special events with wildly
original, European-inspired oral creations and silk botanicals. South BayDigs spent a sunny Southern California morning with Lisa Gallien and Lee
Hoven-Bakos, the founders and joint creative force behind the fairy-tale
ower shop where happily ever after happens every day.
SOUTH BAY DIGS: Your shop is gorgeous. Tell me how
you decided to become forists.
LISA: Weve loved doing arts and crafts since we were
little. My dad would take us to the ower mart in down-
town L.A. and we would buy crafts supplies and make all
the Christmas gifts.
LEE: It was an easy transition to do something creative.
We were business majors, and my mom, who had been
living in Europe, said, Girls, just do something that makes
you happy. This was the one thing we wanted to do.
LISA: Our parents were supportive of the endeavor and
helped us make it happen.
LEE: We started small, doing parties and weddings outof our house. And soon we were able to open up a retail
operation.
Some forists ocus exclusively on a particular niche, such as weddings.
Whats your specialty?
LISA: We have a lot of corporate clients, but we do owers for the home, as well.
Everything we do is hand crafted. You cant buy it anywhere else; it has
a special touch to it. We do a lot with candle arrangements, garlands and
wreaths. We follow the seasons. In the summer we had wreaths with sea-
shells, aqua blue accents and sea glass. Well go into peoples homes andhelp them decorate. For fall and Christmas, well do mantles
LEE: And topiaries. We do a little bit of everything.
LISA: The variety has kept our business going. We can do everything from

custom arrangements to fresh owers and silk
botanicals. Well also do weddings and parties.
And we have a fantastic staff that can support
all of that.
That makes a huge dierence.
LEE: We have amazing employees who have
kept the continuity going in the store. Some ofthem have been here 10, 15 years. They know
our customers and what they want. We get to
work with really great people every daytheyre
like family.
As you mark your 20th
year in business,
how do you plan on staying innovative?
LISA: Something were really excited about
is our new Mindful Intention arrangements.
Every ower has a meaning, and weve beendoing a lot of research on which combinations
of owers have a particular signicance. Weve
designed arrangements to attract certain at-
tributes.
LEE: One of them is an arrangement for wealth,
so we include owers that represent wealth, and attach a stone to enhance
the energy.
LISA: Flowers are from Mother Earth, after all.
LEE: And they do vibrate energy.
Im ascinated by the whole idea o fowers having meaning. I once read
about a Chinese emperor who sent thousands o peonies to a woman he
loved.
LISA: They represent love, and we have a love arrangement with peonies in it.
LEE: I got married in the month of May because its when peonies are in
bloom.
What would you tell someone who is thinking about using foral arrange-
ments to enhance their home dcor?
LEE: Do something organic-looking and natural. Use it to diffuse color, tobrighten up a home ofce or bedroom. Having fresh owers or plants is a
life force. You see a fresh ower and you get positive vibrations. Its a beau-
tiful thing to have anywhere in the home.
LISA: Put owers in rooms where you always spend timethe kitchen, the
dining room, somewhere you can always enjoy them. Use owers that will
last a while, like orchids, and put them in spaces youre always looking at.
How has foral design evolved in the past 20 years, and what kinds o
trends are you seeing now?
LISA: Its evolved from loose owers to tailored, modern arrangements withmonochromatic looks.
LEE: Youll see tones on tones.
LISA: Silk botanicals are huge. They look so real
now. Twenty years ago they didnt. Weve been
able to create a lot of designs with silk; thats
been fun for us.
LEE: Succulent gardens are a big trend right now.
LISA: Now weve moved into fall with--
LEE: Vibrant, rich oranges.LISA: We change seasons in the store. In a
couple weeks were going to start seeing a lot of
Christmas dcor and colors.
LEE: Youll see a crisp, clean, white look with rich
burgundy red-on-red tones.
LISA: Whites going to be really big this year.
Switching gears a bit, whats the most unusual
order youve had?
LISA: Weve had to send owers to peoples birth-
days and make them look withered and black, like
they were dead. Black roses. Pretty funny!
It sounds so Goth.
LISA: Yeah, kind of Goth and macabre.
On that note, where do you get inspiration or your
designs?
LISA: Its evolving. You might get it from nature. You
might see something and kind of tweak it and makeit your own.
LEE: Also from traveling. We travel a lot and see
things abroad and get inspired.
LISA: The European shops are so beautiful. We were
in Denmark and everything was avant-garde and
modern. You have to tailor what you see so that it works well for your client.
LEE: And our surroundings inspire us. We love coming to work and being
able to see the ocean from here.
Whats it like being sisters and working together every day?LEE: We bounce ideas off each other. We tell it to each other like it is with-
out having to sugarcoat everything. We each have our own strengths and
one of us may know how to deal with a certain customer better. Im not say-
ing it isnt trying at times, particularly in these next two months when well
be really busy, but for the most part were really lucky.
What advice would you give to someone starting up a business now?
LISA: Look at your market and see what youre good at. Look at your costs
and expenses and crunch the numbers. Weve seen a lot of businesses come
and go over the years and its disheartening because theyre wonderfulbusinesses. Theyve been hit by the economy, but its all about going back to
basics and doing what you do really well.
I you had to describe your lie philosophy in three words, what would
they be?
LISA: Lucky, lucky, lucky! We feel lucky and blessed.
LEE: For sure.
LISA: Blessed, lucky and grateful.
It seems theres a lot more emphasis on gratitude these days.LEE: We opened up during a recession and people probably thought we
were a little crazy, but you have to believe that you can do it.
LISA: We were big into sports, and our coach at
Mira Costa High School, Daelea Aldrich, was a huge
inuence. She instilled a belief in all these girls
coming out of school that you could do anything. So
we took that philosophy into our business.
LEE: We never questioned whether wed be suc-
cessful. Its all about a positive attitude.

its the beginning of the football and holiday season. Everywhere housesare adorned with decorations and stores are full of seasonal mustbuys. But what makes this time of the year special is food, family, friends,
and a glowing re in the replace. Fireplaces are a focal point. They invite
conversation and give the most timid guest a place to sit without stand-
ing out. The smell of burning wood releases the tension between your
shoulders and loosens the tightest jaw. Most people assume when they
buy a house the look of the replace is permanent and they design their
room around it. This is not true! Upgrading your replace is easy and can
add value to your home. There areseveral different parts that make
up a replace, but four areas that
can change the overall look without
major construction. They are the
mantel, rebox, screen, and how you
burn your re.
The mantel is not only the shelf
area above the hearth; it is also the
decorative sides of it. There areseveral types of mantels made from
sp
aces
stone, wood, brick, cement, and metal. Even though they look permanent,
most mantels are attached to the outer part of the wall. It is not hard
to remove and replace it. Most handy homeowners can take out a man-
tel themselves. Depending on what you are planning to replace it with,
installation can usually be done by you or the company you purchased
your new mantel from. Play with different ideas when choosing. There are
more than the traditional wood frames these days. A popular look is stone
veneer. It can be placed around the hearth and up the wall, making yourreplace look larger and more dramatic. Marble or composite stone can
be used in the same fashion for minimal modern sophistication. There are
also stunning tiles made with texture that create eye-catching patterns,
they can be attached to a raised boxed surface around the hearth or on the
wall. Leave the tiles as they are or attach a thick wood or polished cement
ledge across the replace opening for a more dramatic appearance. Look
through magazines, books and on-line for ideas.
The rebox is the inside of the replace where the re burns. Many
are made of brick. After time, especially with wood burning res, the brick
turns black, making it appear old and dirty. To remedy this, buy a pint of
black high temperature paint from a replace or home improvement store.
This special paint is made for the inside of your replace and can go on
gas lines and re grates. After brushing clean the brick, brush on the paint.
It absorbs into the bricks leaving a smooth clean surface without show-
ing brush strokes. The inside of your replace looks new and brings your
attention to your glowing re and not whats around it. Screens can add
or take away from your replace design. Try changing it to create a new
look. Darker colors make a screen disappear and keep your eye on the re.
Whereas a gold or silver toned screen will stand out and add to the designof your mantel. Glass screens provide a stylish appearance just beware of
it becoming hot when burning a re.
Fireplaces burn with wood or gas; wood log res smell great and give
you the true feeling of man versus nature. Various types of wood smell dif-
ferently, so you are not only seeing and hearing the crackling re, but your
sense of smell is engaged. But it can be time consuming and not always
easy to get a warm re going. Some people opt for a gas-burning replace
instead of wood. You instantly have a roaring smokeless re producing
heat. The most commonly
burned gas res are with
man-made logs. They are l
made of ceramic and painted
to look like branches from
various trees. Try using a spe-
cies that looks similar to trees
surrounding your house.
Decorative pans with
glass or stone are a popular
trend. The trays connect toyour gas pipe the same way
your re logs do. When lit, the
ame spreads along the top. It releases as much heat as the ceramic logs
do and can add a modern or artsy look to your room.
Upgrading the look of your old replace can add value and design
intention to your home. It is a simple, yet overlooked improvement most
times ignored. Whether you are using your replace for warmth or ambi-
ence, consider these few tricks. Make your replace as good looking as the
rest of your house. Amanda Coscina, [email protected]
