Our Story
November 2006
Littleton, Colorado
 I've loved to garden ever since I was a little girl when I followed my mom around our garden in Franklin Village, Michigan. I remember her tending to bright red oriental poppies while I sat in the grass next to her anxiously waiting for an invitation to help. Many years later my own little girl, Alex, would toddle after me with her miniature garden trowel hoping for her chance to "play in the dirt" and feel the magic of the sun and the earth and the flowers.
A wonderful thing happened to our family several years ago. I had a growing garden design and catering business, Planters & Platters, in Littleton, Colorado and on one beautiful spring day, I invited my clients and their friends over to look at some garden accents I was eager to share with them. Four hours later after the last of many guests had left, my husband, Greg Ball, and I knew we had the beginnings of an exciting new business.
Greg and I first started The Furnished Garden in October 2001 as a web site with the idea that it would feature home and garden accents that would inspire others to make their surroundings more beautiful and interesting. I've always believed that you should celebrate your home with the ones you love so we quickly added beautiful items for entertaining as well. Our standard is simple – we select high quality, unique items that we would be proud to give to our own family and friends, with a special nod to handcrafted products made here in the USA.
Whatever the reason for visiting us at The Furnished Garden - whether it's to shop for beautiful accents for your garden or home, or a gift for a friend - we are delighted that you are here!
Welcome to The Furnished Garden. We hope you'll stay a while!
Warm Regards,
Karen Hasse and Greg Ball
