Best Summer Container Garden Tips
Jun 06 2018 ·3Do you love container gardens? I’ve always enjoyed selecting colorful and unique plant combinations for containers, even when I had a larger yard. Now that my deck is my only outdoor space, my container gardens have become even more of a focal point.
Pike Place Market
Aug 19 2015 ·0My quick trip to Seattle in July was filled with so much amazing sightseeing, including the incredible Chihuly Garden & Glass exhibit. Perhaps my 2nd favorite spot we visited was Pike Place Market. Known as “Seattle’s epicenter of fresh produce, specialty foods and independent businesses”, Pike Place is the 33rd most visited attraction in the world!
Pike Place Market is one of the oldest continuously operated markets in the country. With a divine location right on the Elliott Bay waterfront, the Public Market opened in 1907 with the mission to have the “consumer meet the producer”.
Wedding Monday
May 11 2015 ·0My feet are just now starting to touch the ground after this weekend ~ It’s hard to believe that after months of planning and anticipation, Em & Nick are married!! It was an amazingly wonderful day and Emily was the most beautiful bride. Much more to come (of course!), but for now a little peek at the ceremony flowers…
Bunny Williams, Furnishing the Garden in Boston
May 06 2015 ·0Last week we were lucky enough to have elite designer Bunny Williams visit the Boston Design Center. During a beautiful presentation, Ms. Williams presented her new Furnishings for the Garden from Century Furniture.
I have had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Williams before and her gracious, warm, and elegant qualities are inspiring. Her manner of speaking is a bit ‘Southern’ with a slower cadence than us New Englanders ~ but when Bunny Williams speaks, we all listen.
Ms. Williams is well known for her beautiful interior designs that combine traditional style, restraint, and balance as well as a patina from one-of-a-kind antiques. She has published several books including her latest, an updated version of On Garden Style.

Continuing on with our visit to the 2015 Philadelphia Flower Show, I adored this next category. The challenge was to create a piece of jewelry from organic materials (Things found in your yard? Not in my backyard!).
My friend Sarah Boynton, representing the Hingham Garden Club, made this piece…it was magnificent!

Weir River Farm to Table Benefit
Sep 17 2014 ·0I recently attended the 3rd Annual Farm to Table Dinner at the Weir Farm in Hingham. The event, hosted by the Trustees of the Reservation as a fundraiser, has sold out quickly each year since it began. The amazing food and beautiful nature-inspired event design make this dinner an outstanding affair.
The Farm to Table Dinner takes place in the upper pasture at Weir River Farm. The dinner is described as an “open air feast {that} is a true celebration of the farm, land preservation, local chefs, a late summer’s bounty, and the food artisans who cultivate it.”

Pamela’s Top Five Tips for Decorating Your Deck for Summer Entertaining
Jul 10 2013 ·0The Summer season can be short here in New England, as such I make a point to do as much al fresco entertaining as possible. Whether a dinner party or dance soiree (or both!), I make the most of my 650 square foot ocean view deck. Of course any outdoor space can be transformed into an entertaining oasis ~ take it from me.
Culled from over 20 years of Interior Design experience and even longer as a party hostess, here are my Top Five Tips for Decorating Your Deck (or patio, or terrace…) for Posh Summer Entertaining!
Pansies
Apr 24 2013 ·1Recently I visited a nursery while on the hunt for flowers to fill my terrace planters. As it seems I am every year, I was struck by the color and variety of the pansies. Pansies truly are the star of Early Spring and their beauty and perseverance seem appropriate for today as sunshine returns to our skies and people return to Boylston Street in Boston…
