The Gardens of Sting
In a piece for Architectural Digest, Owens wrote a piece about the Tuscan gardens of singer Sting and his wife. The piece is largely based on pictures of their beautifully landscaped yard and the work of their landscaper, Arabella Lennox-Boyd. The piece has some nicely descriptive language and provides enough detail to adequately describe the scene without going overboard, it admits that the process was not a swift one, referencing Boyd as "Bomber Boyd" and comparing their yard to a "vast archaeological dig" but in the end it is a celebrity piece. The piece features the gardens and the landscaping, but lets face it if this was the yard of a nobody, while still impressive it probably wouldn't have made it to the prestigious pages of the Digest. The piece takes up 7 pages but has maybe a mere page length of text in total. If anything the piece probably got Boyd some additional business, and at the very least some great exposure to probably affluent clientele.
