Ani Antreasyan creates a not so secret garden!!!

                                                                    

The work of Ani Antresyan defies description.....garden designer, antique dealer, outdoor stylist, and installation artist...... are all part of who she is and what she does.....yet no one title seems perfect.  Each project that she takes on results in it's own vision.... whether a more traditional garden, a patio design, or the design for a pool house. Each situation is unique and there seem to be no design job that she isn't willing to tackle.  Her love of objects resulted in the origional name of her business.... ANI ANCIENT STONE, which started out importing stone antiquies from her native Turkey. She origionally sold pieces to interior designers and eventually found they wanted her to do the garden designs for their clients. 

In the above pictures, she created an 80' installation that covered a low wall.  She used both green & flowering plants, as well as trees......everything was planted in ancient vessels.  This "container" garden, created for a client on Long Island, took two years to complete.  Every vessel told a story and was a treasure.  Ani searched a number of countries to find these objects and then they had to call out to her, and sing together!  In the bottom picture the white stone vessel is an ancient stone cistern that was found in Turkey.  It seems to set the pace for the installation. The continuity is also defined by it's color story...vivid purples, white, green, with a touch of pink.....accented by the colors of the vessels.

What could accessorize this house more than this fabulous garden???
