Federal Twist in Elle Decor - Redux
Thanks to Nancy Berner and Susan Lowry, my garden makes a brief appearance in the April issue of Elle Decor. I know Nancy and Susan from their recent book, Gardens of the Garden State, where they featured Federal Twist among the astonishing variety of gardens in New Jersey. Only one small caveat; I don't agree with Elle Decor's editor saying I "dispensed with a traditional garden all together, filling the area around the house with a meadow." I see it most definitely as a garden, not a just a meadow. But that's just a quibble. I understand a magazine needs to tell a compelling story in very few words.I'm happy to be paired with Sigrid Gray, who formerly managed Piet Oudolf's Battery Bosque in Manhattan. I met Sigrid once, in the early days of that garden on Manhattan's Battery.Yes, to those of you who've seen this on facebook, I'm double posting, just for the record.If you click on the image below, it should expand.
