Creating Space for Plants in Your Home
East- and west-facing windows, a fresh collection of houseplants, and the slow work of learning what thrives where.
Author · Gardener · Banjo player
A house, a garden, and the quiet pleasure of attentive making.
A journal of plants, kitchens, seasonal making, and the quieter rituals that gather a home — kept from a small farm in middle Tennessee.
Tomatoes and watermelon coming in, zinnias and cosmos at their fullest, and pumpkin vines beginning their long reach toward fall.

Sarah Frémont
I write from a small 46-acre farm in middle Tennessee, where I keep a garden, raise a family, and notice the seasons one window at a time. The journal is the slow record of all of it.
