I work at the intersection of design, horticulture, culture, and systems—helping people and institutions think clearly, act deliberately, and create lasting impact.

This Swedish garden belongs to an actress named Mary Lou who spends time here rather than traveling for her holidays.  It is certainly an enviable space – I would be more than happy to spend my holiday here.

Via a twitter design friend I recently learned recently that in western states (particularly California) there has been a significant trend for outdoor bathtubs.  It looks as if that trend – while not in New England, certainly exists beyond the Western US.   This Swedish Tub makes me think that perhaps the idea isn’t quite so impractical in my own Northeastern climate.
