Kim Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Most of you will not have known Chris, as he has spent a few decades living in Venezuela. I met him in Southern California in the very early stages of my palm obsession. He was passionate about plants and landscaping, and equally passionate about kindness to all humans and living things. In Venezuela he went on to create extraordinary landscaping projects and gardens. Below you will find links to his business website and articles with the very sad and shocking details of his death. http://www.cbaaschgardens.com/english.html https://newsbeezer.com/venezulaeng/well-known-american-landscaper-chris-baasch-was-murdered-in-his-home-in-naguanagua/ https://elestimulo.com/capturaron-al-asesino-del-paisajista-christopher-baasch/ 2 Kim Cyr Between the beach and the bays, Point Loma, San Diego, California USA and on a 300 year-old lava flow, Pahoa, Hawaii, 1/4 mile from the 2018 flow All characters in this work are fictitious.

necturus Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Terrible. I know it's a beautiful country and that he had deep ties there, but I can't imagine living there right now. Best wishes to his friends, family, and the people of Venezuela. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzer Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 Chris told me years ago about the uncertainties of life living down there. Total bummer. One of the nicer guys I've had the pleasure to know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might I add, posting in the 'Memorials' forum is not something I'm sure none of us look forward to doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
