"In this gorgeous, aspirational work, Burns, editor-in-chief of
Kinfolk magazine, collects 'stories about nature as nourishment' along
with photographs from homes across the globe to inspire people to bring
more nature into their own abodes. . . . Expertly evoking a mood of
understated luxury, this stunning spread will have design junkies
drooling." --Publishers Weekly
A gardener with a secret oasis on a Parisian rooftop. An artist making
faux flowers to brighten Manhattan apartments. A family of ranchers
rewilding the American outback.
Anchored around the idea of nature as nourishment, The Kinfolk Garden
explores lush gardens and plantfilled homes around the world and
introduces the inspiring people who coax them into bloom. Through visits
to friends old and new, the Kinfolk team learns the secrets to a good
garden, and what good a garden can do for our self-care, creativity and
communities.
Though many of the people we meet along the way champion the idea of
following natural instincts rather than a set of prescriptive garden
rules, there are practical tips throughout the book that offer advice on
everything from growing your own produce to foraging for artful
arrangements to simply keeping your houseplants alive a little longer
than usual.
The Kinfolk Garden is an invitation to engage with nature--to care for
it, create with its beauty and cultivate new relationships around
it--and offers inspiration and guidance to anyone looking to bring a
little more greenery into their life.
