Meanwhile, On Gardenista: Pocket Gardens

Welcome to Meanwhile, on Gardenista, in which we take a look at the goings-on over on our sibling site. In this week’s edition: Start to look for pocket gardens and you’ll notice them everywhere: climbing up urban facades, in tucked-away niches, and in secluded backyards. Here, three sightings:

Above: First, a favorite from this year’s Chelsea Garden Show: a lush garden with thoughtful details and tucked-away places to sit. See our full report in The Beauty of Imperfection: A Favorite Garden at this Year’s Chelsea Flower Show. Photograph by Jim Powell for Gardenista.
Above: How to make the most of a small precipitous backyard in San Francisco? With tiered, tucked-away lounge spots—and a cedar soaking tub at the top. Take a tour in A Steep Woodland Garden in San Francisco Reimagined by Talc Studio. Photograph by Jorden DeGaetano, courtesy of Talc Studio.
Above: No backyard? Cities are bursting with blooms, too. Might we suggest a walking tour? If you’re in NYC, you can follow Marie’s Manhattan Wisteria Walk: Exercise for the Florally-Inclined (our kind of exercise).
