It Doesn't Get Any Fresher Than This


A few weeks ago we received this delightful email from a friend:
“How nice to see your name in the Wall Street Journal this morning. Hope all is well.”

“In Newport, R.I., landscape architect Kate Field says she is designing three times as many vegetable and herb gardens for luxury properties as a decade ago. Clients pay roughly $50,000 for installations that feature distinctive touches -- such as granite-edged vegetable beds, fish ponds, sculptures and grapevines wound like topiaries. Edible plants are arranged by color, height and texture, similar to the way garden designers lay out flowers and shrubs.” (The Vegetable Patch Goes Luxe, Ellen Gamerman, July 25, 2008)
