Sketch Crawl in Balboa Park with ASLA San Diego

8/19/2025

0 Comments

 
We spent an inspiring day with @asla_sd at our Sketch Crawl in Balboa Park! Led by local fine artist and professor @jacthebeeart, we explored sketching techniques, captured the beauty of the park, and enjoyed time connecting with colleagues. The combination of pencil to paper creativity and community made for a wonderful weekend reset. A heartfelt thank you to our generous sponsors, @spruceandgander and @blickartmaterials, for helping bring this event to life!

We were delighted to support our wonderful client Rachel Smith in the creation of her soulful Burlingame garden, recently featured in the Home & Garden section of the San Diego Union Tribune. We rebuild the garden stairs with natural stone steps, and address erosion issues in the garden. Rachel describes her garden as the product of collaborations with many artists and artisans, and we are grateful to have contributed to a project that blends art, nature, and community.

An Incubator to Accelerate Your Business

At the head of her landscape design and build company, Gravel To Gold in San Diego, which she runs with her husband, Anne-Emilie Gold took part in the Small Business Administration’s THRIVE program, a federal agency initiative. Anne-Emilie graduated from the program in December last year after going through six months of intensive training, both in person and online, designed to help existing small businesses take off. “I needed training as a business owner,” says the Quebec-born landscape designer. “When you are running your own company, you do not have time to step back and reflect on your business as a whole.” The result? New skills and valuable connections with experts and fellow local business leaders. It is a free program available across the United States that is worth spreading the word about!

Originally written and published in French by Agnès Chareton for The Elles Collective Inc., a diverse community of Women entrepreneurs using French as a common language and connected to the World.

    About the Authors


    Bienvenue, I am Anne-Émilie. I am a landscape designer and the co-founder of Gravel To Gold, Inc. I love transforming outdoor spaces into places of beauty, wellness, and connection. My travels have taken me around the world, sparking a love for art, culture, and the vernacular. I have been writing in English since 2002, when I discovered my raison d'être  through an essay titled Hometown: A Defining Landscape Experience, a piece that affirmed my connection to the land as a visceral, lived experience through which I find unwavering stillness.
