Founded in a historic nursery in southeast Pennsylvania, Terrain is
a nationally renowned garden, home, and lifestyle brand with an
entirely fresh approach to living with nature. It's an approach
that bridges the gap between home and garden, the indoors and the
outdoors. An approach that embraces decorating with plants and
inviting the garden into every living space. Terrain, the book, not
only captures the brand's unique and lushly appealing sensibility
in over 450 beautiful photographs but also shows, in project after
project, tip after tip, how to live with nature at home. Here are
ideas for flower arranging beyond the expected bouquet, using
branches and wild blooms, seed heads and bulbs. Ten colourful
container gardens inspired by painterly palettes. Dozens of ideas
for making wreaths out of vines, dried stems, evergreens, and fresh
leaves and fern fronds (which you learn to preserve in glycerin).
Here are secrets for forcing branches to bloom in the middle of
winter. Decorating with heirloom pumpkins, including turning them
into table top planters. Simple touches - like massing high-summer
hydrangeas into weathered baskets and scattering them around the
patio - and more involved projects, including taking inspiration
from Scandinavia and Britain to create a truly natural Christmas.
With inspiration for every season, Terrain blurs the indoors and
out to bring the subtle and surprising joys of nature into our
lives every day.
