We all know that spring is a traditional symbol of hope and rebirth, but this year feels even more regenerative than usual. So with that, we felt inspired to get outside and embrace the great outdoors! We want to teach you how to finally start that herb garden, convince you to set up an inviting patio situation, or inspire you to trek out into the wilderness. Sure, you're used to hearing from us about all manners of the interior of the home, but now we're stepping out the door and getting outside. Let's cultivate the outdoor person in us all.
