Business Snapshot
The Garden in Reno is an enchanting oasis for premium coffee, tea, and tasty bites. Beyond being the perfect hangout spot, it also provides services such as wedding styling, venue rental, event design, floral deliveries, and engaging classes like succulent arrangements.  Grab a comfy seat, sip on a cup of the good life while making memories that will last a lifetime at The Garden - your go-to spot in Reno for a delightful experience.

The Garden is an exquisitely decorated haven, thoughtfully accented with floral accents and brimming with personality. It's a space where one can savor craft coffee and delectable bites, gather with friends and family, and joyously celebrate life.

Beyond its role as a cozy retreat, The Garden transforms into an event planning powerhouse, dedicated to simplifying life by managing all the elements required for a spectacular event.

Out of a need to meet with clients in a more comfortable setting that showcases their craft, owners Nathan and Christina, along with their daughter, Jessica, created the Garden.

This remarkable family has been immersed in event planning for over a decade (12+ years, as I recall), weaving magic into bouquets, floral arrangements, and enchanting wedding/event-scapes. 

I've had the pleasure of talking to Nathan, one of the owners of The Garden and he was so kind and happy to tell me more about his business.

I've found that the common denominator to happy business owners is their profound passion and genuine love for what they do.  This couldn't be more true in the case of Nathan, his family.

Nathan spoke so highly of his wife and daughter and their role in the success of their family-owned business.  

What he didn't mention was his part in the equation.  He's a master wood craftsman that builds custom structures for company rentals.  If you have a vision, they can make it come to life.

Have a look at their portfolio & you'll find plenty of pictures of their amazing work from numerous past events.  I highly recommend them for all of life's special occasions.

Whether you're in search of a cozy hangout spot, a place to enjoy a cup of coffee, beautiful floral arrangements, or event services, The Garden has something special for everyone. 

Feel free to connect with me on Instagram for more hidden gems. Drop a "hello" and share your experiences and cherished spots. I love hearing from everyone.

Peace, Love, & Kindness,

Kat

Caricatures are one of the most fun and popular forms of entertainment, popping up everywhere from theme parks and street fairs to parties and even weddings. They’re also found in comics, newspapers, and editorial cartoons. No matter the occasion, people love seeing a talented artist capture their likeness in such a unique way.

Here in Reno, we’re lucky to have our own amazing caricature artist, Michael Hopkins. You’ll find his work in webcomics, books, and at local events. I had the pleasure of hiring him for an Easter party, and let me tell you—he has an incredible gift for capturing people’s essence in just a few minutes. If you’re like me and always on the lookout for ways to make your events extra special, Michael is a fantastic option.

Michael’s been passionate about art for as long as he can remember. He was that kid doodling on the side of Mad Magazine pages, getting into trouble for what would later become a true gift. Not only is he super talented, but he’s also genuinely kind and down-to-earth. Michael would be the perfect addition to any special event, giving your guests a fun, personalized memory to take home.

I love how Reno celebrates art and artists, encouraging them to pursue their talents and be themselves. Artists like Michael are a huge part of what makes Reno special—whether it’s their art on display around town or their music filling our streets, they make our community brighter.

If you’d like to support Michael Hopkins, follow him on Instagram and help spread the word. Like and comment on his posts, write reviews, and share his services. Just make sure to book him in advance—he’s in high demand!

Bio

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, I've spent most of my life drawing funny pictures and raising children. 

My artistic style was inspired by Seattle Cartoonist, Bob McCausland, and the legendary Caricaturist, Al Hirschfeld. 

My sense of humor was mostly inspired by Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy and Chuck Jones. 

From an early age, some of my favorite memories involved drawing pictures. I remember getting in trouble in the third grade, for drawing on the side of my homework (ala Mad Magazine) and having teachers in high school ask me to draw caricatures of other teachers they didn't like. 

After high school, raising children and finding a way to support them financially took priority over drawing funny pictures (although I still kept a pen in India ink). As such, I ventured into the hospitality industry and eventually became a hotel manager. 

After 10 years in hotel management and only my youngest son, still at home, I decided to refocus on the drawing.

Of course, since drawing alone didn't pay the bills, I had several side gigs to help pay for that (i.e., drawing and bartending, drawing and fueling airplanes, etc.) However, to this day, drawing remains the main focus. 

I have created two webcomics and sold my Pen & Ink Caricatures all over the world. 

Some of my aviation cartoons were also featured in Martin Leeuwis' aviation humor book Good Landing (in which some of the art from that book was featured at the opening of the Dutch Air Force, Aviation Museum).
