Gardenista’s editor in chief, Michelle Slatalla, created and launched the sister site of Remodelista in 2012. Previously, Slatalla was a columnist for the New York Times, Time, and Real Simple. She is the author of six books (including five cowritten with her husband, Josh Quittner). She lives in Mill Valley, California.
“[This book has] something for anyone interested in horticulture
and outdoor living—stylish gardens and exterior spaces, DIY
projects, a shopping guide to top products, and expert tips.”
—Boston Globe
“These well-loved spaces are also well lived-in. Slatalla is warm,
approachable, lively—and chic. But she lets us in on everyone’s
secrets with sections labeled ‘Steal This Look.’ . . . She suggests
ideas for paths, fire pits and foot showers, tips for drainage
solutions, and a shopping directory that made me reach for my
credit card.”
—The New York Times Book Review
“If you love Gardenista.com, sister site to Remodelista.com, you’ll
be as happy as I am to have a photo-rich look-book for modernist
gardens in hand. The focus is international, with up-to-the minute
planting ideas, including lots of tempting DIY projects.”
—Seattle Times
“Full of ideas to copy for those with not much time.”
—World of Interiors
“Access to some of the most glamorous green spaces from Isabel
Marant’s own LA oasis to London interiors maven Rose Uniacke’s
artfully designed conservatory, along with solid advice on how to,
in true Gardenista style, ‘steal the look.’ Beyond the access to
beautiful garden spaces, the editors offer up evergreen advice for
DIY projects outdoors and the best sources for garden furniture and
tools. It’s a bit of a Garden Design 101.”
—Goop
“Lust-worthy gardens in a vast array of styles and settings . . .
it’s a source you’ll return to again and again over a lifetime in
pursuit of both big landscaping transformations and weekend
projects. As visually enchanting as it is brimming with practical
advice, Gardenista shows readers that, just as with interior
design, there are countless ways to create an attractive and
functional outdoor living space—from wild and loose to tailored and
lavish, from rustic to minimalist and everything in between.”
—BookPage, Top Lifestyles Pick
“This book by Slatalla (editor-in-chief of the website Gardenista)
consolidates years of research and practical experimentation for
transforming the basic garden or back yard into an extension of
indoor living space. More than mere garden planning, the book
explores the additional elements of furnishings, accessories,
accoutrements and color, integrating nature and luxury to create an
outdoor home setting as a place of personal retreat. Horticultural
advice is also woven into the plan. . . . Aided by 480 color
photographs, this beautiful book showcases innovative gardening
concepts based upon real homes, highlighting details—the placement
of beeswax tea candles, tablecloth clamps, and butterfly chairs—in
harmony with shade trees, hedge shrubs, and stone walls. The end
result is a display of outdoor living space that integrates plants,
color, balance, design, and also functionality. Color photos.”
—Publishers Weekly
"A big bouquet of ideas that you can digest over the winter and use
to inspire your own outdoor space come spring."
—Toronto Star
“Includes lushly photographed tours of 12 enviable gardens and
planning guides for a variety of climates and colour palettes. The
most gorgeous gardening book I’ve seen in ages.”
