As an American expat living in London, one of the most common questions I get is, 'what do you miss about home?.' My answer varies depending on the day, my family, my friends, my favorite foods. Today, looking at photos of Martha Stewart's garden at her Turkey Hill home for work, my answer is, definitively, New England gardens.
Growing up in Connecticut, I didn't necessarily realize that our wild, colorful, trellised style of yards was unique until I moved away. New England coastal style was just the standard. However, in the years since I've left the state, I've come to recognize how special and beautiful the region's gardening is. Martha Stewart's Westport home sets the standard.
