Garden designer P. Allen Smith is best known for the beauty
he creates outdoors. From his monthly segment on the Today
show to his own nationally syndicated television programs,
people look to him for ways to design, update, or totally
reinvent their outdoor garden spaces. Now, for the first
time, Allen has turned his attention to the
indoors—specifically, how to use the bounty of the garden to
decorate the home. Whether it’s growing a citrus tree in your kitchen, using
boxed plants to decorate your dining table, or forcing bulbs
into bloom and showcasing them in a fantastic flea market
find or a family heirloom, Allen’s sixty-five fail-safe
projects are pure inspiration for every room in your
home—including the often overlooked entranceway. With
inviting color photography and clear, concise instructions,
he'll teach you how to choose the right containers for the
greatest impact, decorate with the season in mind, pick
unusual but visually dramatic props to complement a bouquet,
or showcase a collection (such as creamware, baskets, or
cast iron) by using them as centerpieces for flowers and
plants. As a result, you’ll transform your place into a
garden home. Even if you’re not a gardener, these projects
can work in your home, too. A visit to the local plant shop
can supply everything you need to make the projects your own. Whether you’re looking to do something as simple as creating
a tabletop centerpiece or as sophisticated as using the
garden’s bounty to call attention to your artwork, P. Allen
Smith’s plethora of ideas and expert know-how will inspire
you to bring the outdoors indoors any time of the year.
