We are excited to announce that our newest book, Gardenista: The Low-Impact Garden: A Guide to Creating Sustainable Outdoor Spaceswill be arriving in bookstores October 14 and is available for pre-order now. A companion volume to Remodelista: The Low-Impact Homeit is at once edifying and ravishing to look at, the result of longtime Gardenista writer Kendra Wilson and acclaimed photographer Caitlin Atkinson’s travels around North America and Canada, as well as Australia and the UK. As a guide for future gardening, it is a show-and-tell of sustainable design and innovative ideas, articulated by the most original thinkers in the garden world today.
In The Low-Impact Gardenwe visit a dozen exquisite private landscapes both urban and rural. We also explore what goes into making a brilliant front yard, summer cottage garden, stylish indoor-outdoor space, eco-conscious pool, lush green roof, and more. We do some demystifying as well of the fundamentals that make a garden—grass, native plants, trees and shrubs, soil, and water—before an excursion into “The Gardenista 50,” a compilation of our favorite attractive, made-to-last garden equipment that is both vintage and future-vintage.
We are so very proud of the book—it’s filled with gorgeous inspiration and actionable tips—and we can’t wait for you to get your hands on a copy. In the meantime, here’s a sneak peek (and be sure to scroll to the end for pre-order details.)
