Amanda Lacey Joins the Bennion Deville Homes Indian Wells Office

B

ennion Deville Homes proudly welcomes REALTOR® Amanda Lacey to the Indian Wells office, located at 74-910 Highway 111 on the corner of Cook Street and Highway 111.

Amanda is a desert native and helps clients throughout the Coachella Valley, specializing in Palm Desert. She relishes the opportunity to share her knowledge of and passion for our area’s unique lifestyle and real estate options to assist others. In addition to her real estate salesperson’s license, Amanda holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from California State University San Bernardino.

Having grown up in the desert, Amanda is well-versed with the Greater Palm Springs Area’s unique lifestyle and the diversity of architecture and interior design styles across each resort city. “From sleek midcentury modern homes to Mediterranean-inspired villas, and everything in between, the desert has a variety of architectural styles to enjoy – there is literally something for everyone,” Amanda says. “It is fun to drive through our local neighborhoods and tour homes to experience the spectrum of interior and exterior designs, a feature that makes the Coachella Valley unique. Working in real estate allows me to blend my passion for design with my interest in helping others.

I enjoy the opportunity to align my client’s real estate goals with the perfect property, or to attract the right buyer for their current home, and deliver the results they need. When my clients are truly satisfied with our work together, it means that I did what I needed to do for us to succeed.”

Amanda’s unique background, formal education, and practical experience are assets she uses to help clients. Her experience in the hospitality industry attuned her to listen to clients and exceed their expectations, while her ability to understand others stems from her education in psychology. “I learned to talk less and listen more in the hospitality industry, while working toward delivering a top-class experience. My formal education in psychology gives me unique insight into human behavior. I am aware of different things people do to give away what they are thinking through body language and other tells, even if they don’t notice them. Understanding these principles also encourages me to look at the whole picture and be more well-rounded in my

thinking, which I use to help my clients by looking at all sides of a situation.”

Amanda is the perfect fit for the real estate industry because she offers the right blend of commitment to her clients, desire to keep learning, and a passion for employing her knowledge to help people. As a guest teacher with a local school district, she harnessed her compassion for others while nurturing and developing their minds. She also acquired a keen insight into the local schools and school districts, knowledge she shares with her clients who have children.

Amanda approaches her clients with the mindset of an educator, constantly seeking to understand, making sure that communication lines are clear, and explaining situations and options in a way that makes sense.

Outside of her ability to help clients with her real estate prowess, Amanda enjoys improving the lives of others through acts of kindness around the community. Her family also hosts foreign exchange students. “I like to help people wherever I can. From helping homeless people in need on the streets with water, a meal, or a warm blanket, to making students from around the world feel at home in a new place and culture, I enjoy giving back and connecting with others,” Amanda says. When Amanda has free time, she likes taking her standard poodle to the dog park, expressing her creativity by painting, exploring our local communities, and staying cool at the multitude of resorts in town.

Bennion Deville Homes is the place for Amanda to call home because of the company’s commitment to supporting its agents. “Bennion Deville Homes was recommended to me by someone else in our industry. I feel like Bennion Deville Homes wants me to succeed, so they offer great support. Charlie [White, Managing Broker] is very knowledgeable and is a huge help. Having access to the quality and depth of resources we are provided allows me to be at my best for my clients, which in turn produces the results they need to be successful,” Amanda concludes.

Gone to pot: Tips on container gardening Betty Montgomery Special to Spartanburg Herald-Journal USA TODAY NETWORK - SOUTH CAROLINA

Containers, filled with flowers billowing over the sides can make a dramatic statement and make an area more festive. Container gardens are especially useful for people who have limited space, for people who want to dress up a porch or deck and for beginner gardeners. Containers can be planted with a single plant or a combination of plants, depending on the look you want to achieve. Even if you have plenty of space, you can still have dramatically planted containers to liven up an area.

To be successful with this venture, you need to do a few things. First, you have to know where you plan to put this container, sun or shade. You will not be successful if you try to put shade loving plants in full sun and vice versa. Make sure you know the sun requirements of the plants you want to purchase and do not put half sun loving and half shade loving. They need the same requirements.

Then, make sure the plants you choose have the similar watering requirements. Some plants will require you to water them daily while others are content drying out between watering.

Also, know that containers will require more watering than plants you grow in a flower bed. The soil in containers dries out much faster, simply due to lower soil volume and less insulation, which allows the soil to heat up and moisture to evaporate more rapidly.

When you are choosing your plants, you want to choose plants that have different heights, shapes, and textures.

There is an old saying that you need a spiller, filler, and thriller. One could be tall and upright (the thriller), another a medium-height (the filler) and then have one that will spill over the side of the container (spiller). This will give you aesthetic contrast that will make the container come alive.

Be sure to know what size your plant will become. You do not want to have a plant that will take over and dominate the pot. You also want to think about size in relation to the size of the container. If you have a large pot, you can have some of your plants taller but if your container is small, you will need smaller plants.

You can have a collection of brightly colored containers in different sizes to make a dramatic statement. BETTY MONTGOMERY

Color is also a factor to think about.

You might want to have colors that are harmonious. I have a mentor and friend, Ann, who is a painter who has fabulous containers on her deck because she thinks about colors that blend well together. Some colors that I know work well together are hot colors like yellow, orange and red. Pink, blues and purples are also compatible. I love to see a white and silver together too. There are many

different combinations and sometimes you are limited by what your local garden center offers for sale.

If you do not want to have different plants in a particular container, you can have a container with plants that are similar in size, focusing on fillers so you can have a tapestry of two or three plants. Another thought is to have different containers with a single plant for a lovely effect. Choose several contain-

ers that work well together and plant a different plant in each container. Have a cluster of pots with each holding its own plant.

In choosing a container, you can use about anything you want to use as long as it has a hole in the bottom for proper drainage. Without proper drainage, your plants could become water logged which will lead to root rot. It is also a good idea to have your container blend with the surrounding area or you can make a bold statement and follow the lead of Majorelle Garden with a strong color like Morocco blue. If you choose to have a collection of pots, do not have a mixture of pots that do not match. I visited a garden where there were so many different pots that I left feeling like it was junky and not harmonious. I was distracted by all the different containers.

It is good to start with a commercial, peat-based, soil mixture because it is designed to hold a lot more water than the average garden soil, plus they have added a slow-release fertilizer. When filling the pot with mix, leave room for watering; leave an inch between the soil surface and the rim of the pot.

Since pots dry out quicker than your garden, you need to water more often, and this leads to the nutrients being washed out quicker. Plants do best with a steady supply of small amounts of fertilizer. Supplement the plants every two weeks with miracle grow or a similar product. After I plant, I often put fish emulsion on mine to give them a good start. I will warn you; it has a lingering odor for about 12 hours if the container is in an open-air location.

Removing your spent flowers will make your containers look fresh and lovely and will keep most annuals blooming over a long-time frame. This way you will enjoy your pots more and your neighbors will be envious that theirs do not look as fresh and lovely and yours.

Also, look around at other people’s pots and get ideas of what you like and do not like. This will be very helpful to you too. Have fun planting you’re your pots. It is not too late.

This faux-concrete box from homeowners stay on trend at a reasonable price point. The planter box is made of stone dust that’s blended with resin and silicon and claims to be one-fifth of the weight of actual concrete, meaning you won’t have to worry about it bending any brackets.

It’s also more durable than concrete and is UV-treated so it should stand up to anything Mother Earth can throw at it. The corinthian trim is a nice touch, especially if you’re looking to fill it with colorful mediterranean blooms. $15 at Amazon There’s a lot more where this came from.
