We are finally at peak daylight and the Summer Solstice–which officially takes place June 21st this year.

Summer speaks of garden parties and holidays at the beach, or lake, by rivers, or in the mountains. Summer speaks directly to our connection to the wild places we love and perhaps long for– and which, through our gardens, can be right here at home.

SummerHome Garden in Denver, CO, is a playful and powerful twist on the idea that our gardens can be our summer homes.
