A wonderful exhibition to be sure this past weekend! McKee Botanical Garden’s Second Annual Rare & Exotic Orchid Exhibition & Sale was well attended, with gorgeous specimens stunning in their variety, color and beauty.

Presented with the Vero Beach Orchid Society, the weekend featured a judged show, expert presentations and nationally recognized growers. An impressive marketplace brought together vendors offering every imaginable orchid, along with specialized growing supplies, decorative containers and accessories.

The event also celebrated McKee’s remarkable orchid legacy, its collection of more than 2,000 plants, and its first American Orchid Society Award—a truly fitting tribute to horticultural excellence.

A Legacy in Gold

For Mackenzie McKenzie, jewelry is more than beautiful objects—it’s a connection to family, artistry, and craftsmanship.

Growing up around her grandparents’ jewelry store, Kenzie absorbed the sights, sounds, and traditions of the trade without realizing they would eventually shape her own career. During the uncertainty of 2020, those childhood memories resurfaced, inspiring her to pick up the tools she inherited and teach herself the craft.

Today, from the Treasure Coast, Kenzie creates handcrafted jewelry in gold, using traditional techniques like lost-wax casting that have been practiced for thousands of years. Her work blends fine art, gemstones, and meticulous craftsmanship, with custom pieces created through collaboration with her clients.

Her journey is a reminder that sometimes the most meaningful paths are the ones we never planned to follow—and that handmade artistry still has a place in our modern world. 💍✨

From Bohemian to Modern Coastal Boho

What looks effortless is often thoughtfully designed.

From the eclectic homes of historic bohemian artists to today’s light-filled coastal interiors, the boho aesthetic has always celebrated individuality, creativity, and the beauty of collecting pieces with a story.

As bohemian style moved toward the coast, heavy patterns and darker tones gave way to sandy neutrals, sea-glass blues, weathered woods, rattan, linen, and natural textures. Surfboards, tropical plants, vintage furnishings, and handcrafted objects became part of a relaxed, lived-in aesthetic.

Today, modern coastal boho takes that spirit a step further—blending open spaces, natural light, contemporary architecture, and carefully curated materials with the warmth and personality of bohemian design.

The result is sophisticated without feeling formal, relaxed without feeling accidental—a style that captures the freedom of living by the sea.

COVER REVEAL! August/September 2026 Issue.

Indian River County Sheriff Eric Flowers takes the cover of LIV VERO Magazine
Now in his second term, Flowers talks candidly about the demands of leading a 600-person agency, public safety, technology, budgets, tragedy, leadership—and the politics he considers the least enjoyable part of the job.

He also takes us inside the Real-Time Crime Center, discusses falling crime rates, the future of 911 dispatch, and the investments he believes are necessary to keep Indian River County safe.

Away from the badge, we meet another side of the sheriff: husband, father, musician, and lifelong music enthusiast who still finds time to pick up a guitar and record songs with his children.

It’s a wide-ranging conversation about the work, responsibilities, challenges, and personal experiences that have shaped nearly six years in the county’s top law-enforcement position.
