“Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context - a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan.”

Garden Path - Flowers with a European Touch

Garden Path is a full service floral design company located in The Village at Castle Pines (at highway 85 and Happy Canyon Road), created and owned by Karen Novotny since l982.

Just this past Saturday I went to Garden Paths Open House to celebrate its new home.
New location is close to the old one, just across the street from Castle Creek Bakery & Coffee Shop.

I love this location, because the large and high windows bring more natural light into this beautiful store and better view for the people admiring Karen’s wonderful creations from the outside.


Karen specializes in Custom European floral design. She travels in Europe frequently to find inspiration as well as new materials and products.
Besides beautiful custom flower arrangements for every occasion, Garden Path also offers complete event planning services from sites, catering, wedding and reception design and full wedding coordinating assistance, to personalized services for corporate events.

Karen also offers workshops in floral design to groups and small private classes, as well as consulting for interior floral design projects in client’s homes.
The shop has an impressive selection of accessories, linens and gift items from around the world.




One of my favorite things about this store is that there is no ”secret workroom” where all the magic happens, instead Karen and her team design all these beautiful arrangements right in front of your eyes.

What is new at Garden Path, besides the location, is that the store is featuring beautiful art work from a local artist.

Office Complex by J. Mayer H. Architecture

I love the unusual oval shapes in this Office Complex. The exterior and simple white interior perfectly communicate with each other, as does the surrounding landscape.
