Pierre Laclede Center
Clayton, Missouri
The Pierre Laclede Center is the definitive address for business. The center consists of two office towers, occupying an entire city block (Clayton's largest office property) and is home to corporations, entrepreneurial ventures and professional service firms.
Adam Woodruff LLC was engaged in the spring of 2010 to design a unique seasonal display for the center's public plazas. One hundred (existing) large stationary planters equipped with sub-irrigation systems and several key bedding areas were planted with an assortment of lush, tropical foliage plants.The resulting display softens the surrounding hardscape and enhances how the center's tenants and their clients experience the space.
Woodruff was honored by the Perennial Plant Association with a Merit Award for his landscape design. The Missouri Botanical Garden also recognized Woodruff and property owner, KBS Realty Advisors for their collaboration to enhance the Pierre Laclede Center's landscaping.
"In early February 2010, the Pierre Laclede Center came under new ownership and management. We looked to invest in landscaping that would provide aesthetic value to our tenants, their clients and the community at large. When Adam sent us examples of his work we knew that he could meet our expectations. His seasonal displays are stunning! In addition, his service and attention to detail go above and beyond what is normally seen in this business. We could not be happier with the results and look forward to a long working relationship with Adam Woodruff LLC."
