The GOODS from Aloe Designs

Vancouver, BC | While September is always a busy month for us, we were happy to be asked to be a part of the design events that are happening around town during IDSwest, namely the GE Monogram Dinner by Design: a fundraiser in support of the Dr. Peter AIDS Foundation. Dinner by Design on September 17th promises to be an amazing event, with lavish tablescapes created by renowned Vancouver-based designers including David Nicolay, Kelly Deck, and Craig Stanghetta. Taking inspiration from our recent trips to Palm Springs and the Napa Valley, we are bringing a farmhouse-rustic-meets-modern-desert esthetic to the venue. Our theme Desert Ranch.

A long harvest table sets the tone for the farmhouse room, which will be styled with vintage garden tools, herbs and edibles: a look that can easily translate to your own patio space. In the desert room, we’re highlighting the beauty of simple, modern design via architectural plantings of succulents and cacti, and playful organic finds (think branches, antlers, and even tumbleweeds!). Both rooms use low-maintenance, drought-tolerant plants and feature modernist birdhouses from World Reclaimed: a little company that is being started by Aloe co-founder Owen Black. (Stay tuned for more info; we’ll tell you more about this fun side project in an upcoming months.) There are three ways to experience Dinner by Design, including a daytime public viewing, an evening cocktail party, and a swank dinner. You really ought to purchase tickets, we’ll be there the monday night and we’d love to have a drink with you!

About The Business

Quite simply, we believe that design matters. That good design can improve lives, cultivate community, and better our environment. Optimistic, perhaps, but it’s why we do what we do.

Aloe Designs helps our clients achieve outdoor living bliss. Yes, we said bliss. Working collaboratively with our clients, we convert boring backyards and problematic patios into outdoor living spaces that are easy to love and hard to leave.

We are a full-service landscape design group with a modern take on garden making, from initial consultation through design and installation. Throughout the process we are committed to using organic, sustainable resources and sourcing locally crafted goods. It’s all part of our vision of creating beautiful garden spaces that reflect our clients’ needs, personalities, and preferences— all while leaving the world a little bit better than we found it.
