The Container [and Much More] Store
When I left San Francisco last month, my daughter-in-law Yan Zhang gave me one tiny cutting from each of the succulents growing on her rooftop garden. I wrapped them in damp paper towels, stuck them in a baggie, brought them … Continue reading
The Tree Man of Holbox Island
I was touring Holbox Island on my bike. I just had to stop. The signs were so intriguing: “Adopt a Tree” in more than a dozen languages and “Vivero Plantas Endemicas” (garden center for native plants). I got off my … Continue reading
Vest-Pocket Nursery
This was not what I expected to find, walking down the street in Lower Manhattan on the way to a photo shoot on a weekday morning: an open-air plant nursery wedged into a narrow lot between two buildings. Most people … Continue reading
It’s Spring! (in Northern California)
The snow is falling again in the Northeast, and I look out at the fading light in my garden, which is two colors: the gray of the tree trunks and branches and the white of the snow. In San Francisco, … Continue reading
A Visit to the Philadelphia Flower Show
The theme of this year’s Philadelphia Flower Show, which runs through Sunday, is ARTiculture. Art museums, including the Guggenheim, the Getty, and the Smithsonian, have teamed up to produce spectacular exhibits. The show is crowded, commercial, expensive ($32 per ticket … Continue reading
Westchester’s Own Farm Market
You don’t have to go to the Hamptons or Vermont for fresh, farm-raised vegetables, fruit and flowers. It’s all right here in suburban Southern Westchester, New York, at the busy intersection of Secor Road and Hartsdale Road. Just 40 minutes … Continue reading
Not Just Another Farm Stand
Lots of people are driving up to Vermont this time of year, and if you’re going up I-91, Harlow Farm in Westminster, near Exit 5, is worth a stop. This family business was founded in 1918 and certified organic in … Continue reading
A Mystical Experience
I needed to find a centerpiece of a large mixed container planting I was entering in a flower show in late June. The requirement was “at least three white-flowering plants from different genera in a 16″ terra-cotta colored pot.” Not … Continue reading
The Un-Hamptons
“The Hamptons (the South Fork of the East End of Long Island) is where you go to be seen. The North Fork is where you go to hide out.” So I’ve heard. Maybe not to hide out, but to truly … Continue reading
It’s Spring! (Somewhere)
Yesterday, graphic designer and writer Jeff Fisher sent around a few pictures of spring bulbs popping up in the Portland, Oregon, garden he cultivates with his partner Ed Cunningham. Crocuses, hellebores, daffodils, oh my! Yesterday! In the New York City … Continue reading
Southern Exposure
Until last month, to me, Southern gardening was more than a little bit mysterious. It was deep and musky, hot and sticky, draped in mosses. Impressions came from book chapters like “Shade Gardening in the South” in Taylor’s Guide to … Continue reading
In the Hamptons: from the Madoo Conservancy to Marders
Sagaponack: The Madoo Conservancy The abstract-expressionist painter Robert Dash (b. 1934) has spent the past 44 years transforming two acres of Sagaponack farmland into an original, quirky maze of garden follies and styles. The property, the Madoo Conservancy, at 618 … Continue reading
