Revisiting photos from summer travels. Amazed by the wonderful historic architecture at The Mount, the estate and gardens of Edith Wharton in the Berkshires, Massachusetts. Even the horse stables were beautifully designed!

Excited to see this Mountain top retreat above Lake Rabun underway! Careful planning and extensive site studies helped inform our designs, with the intention to preserve the natural beauty of the White Pines and North Georgia terrain.

Garden folly inspiration found at Hidecote Manor in England during summer travels. The articulated slate roof provides such character and charm to this garden structure!

A garden is an incredibly special environment that allows children to use their imagination and sense of wonder to connect with the natural world. I love this photo we captured during summer travels of my eldest, Mary Brooks, getting lost in the magic of an English garden.

We are amazed by the incredible talent and vision of photographer Chip Laughton , who captured this captivating photo of our retriever Pace for August-September issue. I learned of Chip’s passing only a few days after he surprised us with the word that Pace had made the cover. I am saddened by the news of his passing and fondly recall the time I first met Chip, when we shared wingshooting stories. I loved the way described Chip and his enduring legacy. Thank you, Chip, for making your mark on this world with your incredible talent and vision. You will be deeply missed by so many!

This courtyard entry garden features an ever-so-slightly crowned lawn panel with reclaimed brick edging and a crushed gravel walkway. 'Annabelle' hydrangeas, Pachysandra, and Autumn Ferns spill over the Boxwood hedges, while a pair of handsome ‘Snow Goose’ Cherry Trees anchor the back corners of the garden, framing the water feature.

Nothing compares to the incredible smell of Lavender! Love it planted en masse within a unique container. Perfect for an outdoor dining space or kitchen garden.
