Richard Christiansen on Bridging Horticulture and Popular Culture
Richard Christiansen, founder of the garden-pleasure apothecary Flamingo Estate, talks about his lifelong connection with beekeeping and honeywhy more brands should embrace “radical inconsistency” in their products; and how reading a book by Jane Goodall, and later befriending the anthropologist and conservationist, changed the course of his life. He also shares his circuitous journey from Australian farm boy, to running the New York City creative agency Chandelier for nearly two decades, to now overseeing a global collective of growers from his seven-acre home and farm in the hills of Los Angeles.
