Nature Contained

Remember that Hedge Apple posting from September? Here’s the finished product in the January/February 2008 edition of Design New England.One of the photos featuring the Osage orange fruit made the cover shot thanks to the photographical talents of John Gruen. John is so wonderful to work with. I was very fortunate to spend a snowy day listening to great music, eating magical grilled cheese and shooting bulb flowers for Horticulture Magazine with he and Lisa Newman a few months back. I cannot wait to share those photos with you soon!! In the meantime, check out the lovely photograph John shot of the Westport house back porch.


Nature Contained designed the planter boxes which house wisteria vine and a simple mass planting of scaevola and asparagus fern. We planted them up in June and look how great they look at the end of September! For more of John’s photos check out his online portfolio at http://www.johngruen.com/.
