Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch

Dandelion Ranch Floral Design Studio

What, were you born in a barn or something?

Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Just look at Dandelion Ranch, the new barn-housed floral design studio in Culver City country.

Whether assembling arrangements for homes, events, or places of biz (Sona and Mozza are regular customers), Clover Chadwick and Fawn Fletcher (yep, real names) work a modern, rustic look, seeking the freshest flora from local growers daily and setting them in vintage pitchers, wine boxes, soup terrines, and retro ceramic sap buckets.

Make an appointment for some one-on-one time and find yourself sipping tea from a mason jar in the garden. Or bone up on your gardening know-how at an upcoming wine and flower event.

The door’s always open.

Dandelion Ranch, 4701 West Jefferson Boulevard, between Field and Vineyard Avenues, suite 3, East Culver City (323-640-1590 or dandelionranch.com).
