Damour in the gardens of this year's Kips Bay Decorator Show House in Palm Beach, Florida, which were created by Bell Design, Inc.
I NEVER OWNED A PLANT until I moved to the Hudson Valley. However, one of the first things I did when I purchased a weekend house was build a vegetable garden, because isn't that what one does in the country?
When I moved here permanently years later, I remembered that first garden. After it was built, I found the teeniest corner that fit one bistro chair, where I could sit peacefully, listening to nothing and watching the plants grow. It was bliss. Last year, my vegetable garden doubled in size when I became less than enthusiastic about shopping in supermarkets. The change not only amped up my cooking, but it also made me think about how we approach gardens. Growing food is a practical way to create your own resources, but that doesn't mean it can't be high design. In fact, when designing vegetable gardens, I apply the same principles I do when considering interiors.
In creating livable spaces outdoors, think about the location and how you want it to be used. I first design a flow, and then layer in furniture, lighting, and accessories, keeping in mind the natural color palette. Throughout the seasons, the garden evolves, creating a constantly changing and beautiful backdrop for everything from a dinner party to a solo morning coffee.
