I have been contributing to The Prairie Garden annual for a decade and a half (I missed one year sometime in the 2010s). This is only a blip in time, considering that these themed journals have actually been in publication since 1937. This year, I wrote an article about goth gardens, indulging 1990 me who wore all black but couldn’t afford a pair of Doc Martens. Slap on your Bauhaus vinyl and read how to incorporate beautiful dark flowers, striking foliage, and artistic elements into your garden. I had such a fantastic time writing this one.
