"Gardens in the city are very much an extension of how people want to live. Some people lean into romantic notions, others focus on functionality," said landscape architect Brook Klausing. He designed outdoor spaces---a front yard, backyard, and two terraces---to enhance a newly renovated brownstone, making the backyard mostly paved with bluestone for children's outdoor play.

The terrace at Laguardia allows travelers to enjoy fresh air and sunshine while waiting for flights, addressing a common issue of feeling trapped indoors at airports.

The Low-Impact Garden showcases a dozen exquisite private landscapes across North America, Canada, Australia, and the UK, emphasizing sustainable garden design and innovative ideas.

The most effective garden lighting works with the space, not against it. Rather than overpowering your garden's natural beauty, use lighting to subtly enhance what's already there.

Eating every meal outside in summer elevates the experience, making every bite feel more delightful and engaging with nature. It's a celebration of the season.

"Whether it's the joy of sniffing through flowers, herbs and foliage, rolling around on the lawn or digging in a dedicated sandpit, a few simple changes can turn an ordinary garden into a sensory haven for dogs."

"For a deck surface, a good sweeping, followed by soap and water, should do the trick. This is also a chance to repaint or restain."
