Editor’s Letter

Opener • Step into the personal havens of three devoted gardeners. First, escape to a floral Eden in the picturesque Canadian province of Prince Edward Island, and then explore two stunning properties in different regions of the United States.

Where Love Grows • It’s late spring on Prince Edward Island, and all of nature seems to be joined in a floral jubilee of color and scent. Not far from where author Lucy Maud Montgomery set the beloved book series, Anne of Green Gables, a gardener weaves her own story in halcyon surroundings.

Bedecked in Blooms • When a carpenter gifted her with a birdhouse that would draw fluttery occupants from bloom-laden branches, it seemed everyone had joined forces with Priscilla Hillman in her quest to create a paradisiacal springtime bower on her acreage.

The Allure of the Cottage Garden • Inspired by natural splendor—particularly the Arts and Crafts movement of the late nineteenth century—June Mays spent a year studying at The English Gardening School in London and decades cultivating botanical beauty in the American South.

Opener • From budding branches nestled in exuberant displays to fresh-cut blooms bundled into colorful bouquets, creativity abounds in our festive gathering of ideas for showcasing nature’s bounty in arrangements that are certain to add grace, charm, and loveliness wherever they are placed.

Petites Fleurs • It is often said that the best things come in small packages, and these tiny floral compositions prove that adage true in the prettiest possible way.

Blooming Branches • The return of spring stirs sleeping buds from their dormancy, rewarding our winterlong patience with a colorful and fragrant array of flowers. Bring the beauty inside by creating graceful arrangements composed of fresh-clipped boughs from the garden.

Gracious Tables • Taking inspiration from floral bounty, whether pulled from a dinnerware pattern or plucked from the garden, showcase a bevy of blooms to turn mealtime into a celebration of beauty.

Opener • For these four talented women—including famous watercolorist and designer April Cornell and celebrated photographer Georgianna Lane—flowers have been the muse that helped artistic pursuits grow into a successful business of bliss for each one.

Conversing in Color • Canadian-born artist April Cornell found her entrepreneurial muse among the flowing garments and vividly hued textiles embraced by the mingled cultures she encountered on a trip to Afghanistan in the 1970s. She returned home with the dream of sharing this vibrant style with a wider audience of women.

Petals Flourishing Among the Grapes • Captivated by their graceful forms and intoxicating fragrances, Jan Tolmasoff began cultivating roses decades ago. Today, visitors to her family’s Northern California vineyard experience serenity amid the blooms.

Painting with Petals • A half-dozen flowers, a handful of fern fronds, and stems with serrated leaves might be the makings of a pretty summertime bouquet, but to one Seattle-based artist, they are so much more.

Romantic Journeys • In light-filled images that consistently bring to mind the feeling of love, Georgianna Lane shares beauty with the world. Her story, intertwined with Mother Nature’s, is one of growth and hope.

Opener • Blossoms...
