Contact Lorraine Spaak

Upon moving to California, from Michigan, I studied Fashion Design and Business, and later opened a bridal and gown shop where I also designed and sold my own "Special Occasion" dress line, for many years.  I later was hired as Manager and Buyer for Descanso Gardens Gift and Garden Shop, a beautiful Los Angeles Botanical Garden located in La Canada, CA.  After 10 years there, I took a position at the Los Angeles County Arboretum, working in the same capacity.  These years spent working in the garden industry gave me a greater appreciation for the creative and capable horticulturists and landscape designers, and garden enthusiasts, for their ability to develop a plot of ground into a picturesque living monument that captures the essence of architecture, a landscape that functions and gives harmony to the lifestyle of a home.  This is what I want to showcase and feature as a Realtor,  Homes with Distinctive Landscapes.
