On a personal note:
Alexandra Loveday (Lamarre) grew up in Weston CT with her mother and 3 siblings. Her mother among other things was a professor, writer and a horticulturist. At the age of 18, Alexandra went to England to stay with relatives and to be an Au Pair in France. While in England she learned about gardening, particularly English gardens. After returning home, among other jobs, she worked with a photographer in NYC; at that time realized how interested she was in interior design. In 1983, she had her son Andrew, in 1988 they moved from Stamford to Unionville, and in 1991 she had her second son Thomas. During the time the children were young, she worked in the school systems in order to spend time with the boys. Andrew is now 24 and an artist and is currently working for Maurice Sendak, and Thomas is 16 and a junior in the Farmington schools and works part time. Alexandra's Gardens became a business 7 years ago and the interior design division was started 4 years ago. The interior design segment is only available in the winter months and specializes in summer cottages and older houses. The gardens are 7 days a week in the spring summer and fall months.
