Sustainable Botanical design by Ann Elizabeth Mekala

About

Ann grew up surrounded by flowers in a home beside a lake. She spent her summers in the garden and her winters buried in seed catalogs and old botanical books. For holidays, she would put on her boots, grab her shears and head to the garden or the woods to gather branches, berries and cattails for the table.

Ann’s work still tells the story of a tryst between garden and wild. Relying exclusively on locally grown and foraged material, her colors, textures, and shapes reflect the beauty of the changing seasons. With a commitment to sustainability in all of her work, she designs chemical and foam free tablescapes, intimate weddings, dinners and large scale installations.
