Started in 2007, By Allison Bower. Using native plants, to build a heathy home for streams to meander the neighborhoods of Walla Walla. This program was both ground breaking and part of the paradigm change that Native plants are acceptable habitat for in town gardens. Allison honored Augusta by asking for her help.
- Worked as the design sounding board for landscape plantings, using Native plants.
- Held education workshop on native plants for existing Nursery owners.
- Designed first demo gardens.
- Logo designed for new program.

Flowers, for many years consisted of my life blood connection to the arts. Tuesdays, I was paid to build that which came to my fingers and Imagination. Not a bad way to climb through the baby years. My main clients were wineries, and restaurants some that have stayed, some have changed hands, and others that are fantastic memories. The rules were: I got to built what I wanted, and they got to be my client. Smart, right?

Sherwood Leadership Program, Walla Walla, WA - Jan 2011 to Spring 2013
This experience was an interesting step towards understanding the Non-Profit Culture of Walla Walla. My role ultimately ended up as a means for design. Here is my logo we started with before we decided to not use any fish, anywhere. Susan How, an environment photographer developed the language for the signs that graced the path that was ultimately produced. Although I am proud of these signs, as you can see I made them my own. What I am most proud of is, these are the first public signs translated into spanish in our community. These can be found at Fort Walla Walla.

In the event that the left hand rarely knows what the right hand is doing. Let me suggest the three minute presentation. In 2011, I worked with the Walla Walla Public School District putting on three luncheons to have community members present 3 minute presentations about what they were doing with or for the schools. Amazing things came of this and three minutes can be a really, really long time. Try it.

Some say branding is the process term. This was a process of revealing the truth.
Making an image for a woman owned business was an honor.
