Cultivating Place: Author, Landscape Designer and Inward Gardener Julie Moir Messervy

For more than 25 years, Julie Moir Messervy has inspired gardeners, readers and thinkers with her garden designs and her garden philosophy. She inspired host Jennifer Jewell years ago when she first read her book “The Inward Garden.”  In our interview we hear about her education as a gardener, her seminal work as a designer and some of her deeply held beliefs, including that “deep within each of us lies a garden.”

Most of us want, on some level, a garden that allows us to daydream; that allows us to reflect and supports us in finding meaning in our own backyards.
