The Branch Studio: Recent Work

It has been a while since I have written about Branch, so to follow are some snapshots of recent work. Pictured above is a 12′ wide by 8′ deep rose arbor.

    You just keep getting better although I must say I have some of the best. The love grows and it is a wonderful way to wake up ever morning to boxes , spheres and Vs.

    • Deborah Silver says

      Dear Jane, thank you for your letter. You have a beautiful Branch made collection. Thank you for your support of the studio. best, Deborah

      • Jane Cruickshank says

        My Branch collection is not only magnificent but each piece has a story, with wonderful memorable history. Can’t believe I neglected to add the fountain, the fountain that brought hours of enjoyment especially after that long trip. Next to the fountain the spheres are extra special because I saw the mock ups and know the brilliance that went into engineering those beautiful pieces. They all remind me of a wonderful life.

      • Jane Cruickshank says

        I can’t believe I didn’t include the wonderful fountain especially considering the history of such a memorable piece. It gave hours of sheer pleasure while sitting on “the” bench. Every Branch piece is treasured and I feel in love with gardening all over again. I thank you, the Works and Branch.

      Dear Michaele, I intend that what we make is excellent in concept, design and delivery. That is all the delight and satisfaction of it. best regards, Deborah

    The creativity I see only inspires me to play around with my own urns. I believe the change of seasons where I live is incentive to honor the cycle!

    I am reading the new book out about Bunny Melons gardens, then I come to your site and read about all of these gorgeous garden enhancing items and I pray for the winning the lottery. If I ever win your place is where I will be spending my first big wad of $$$$.
