2 days ago | gardenista.com | Laura Fenton

Flower-focused books have become enormously popular in recent years—and with good reason: Who doesn’t want to flip through a book filled with beautiful blossoms?

Why even bother decluttering?

1 week ago | laurafenton.substack.com | Laura Fenton

Last week while trying to wedge something onto the top shelf of our entryway closet I dislodged a brick of compressed potting soil, which hit me square on the forehead. I saw stars, endured a headache for the rest of the day, and then I sported a bruise for several days afterwards. It was inglorious. And it felt like the universe was telling me it was time to declutter—again.
Dara Caponigro's New Book About the Outdoor Spaces of Interior Designers

1 week ago | gardenista.com | Laura Fenton

The new book Glorious Gardens by Dara Caponigro, the editor in chief of Frederic Magazine, features a particular type of garden. Each of the 21 gardens in the book belongs to a prominent interior designer—and it shows.

Wishing everyone a Happy May Day (aka International Workers Day). In Small Takes, I ask people who are living small how they make it work. When I asked Tyler Moore, a public school teacher who moonlights as the (@tidydad), if he would answer my questionnaire, I had no idea we were practically neighbors. He and his wife Emily and their three daughters live right near me in Queens. I was also surprised to learn that we had similar experiences with real estate.

Usually located in close proximity to the kitchen itself, a potager garden is meant to be tended and harvested daily.
