With Bringing Nature Home, Doug Tallamy changed the conversation about gardening in America. His second book, the New York Times bestseller Nature's Best Hope, urged homeowners to take conservation into their own hands. Now, he is turning his advocacy to one of the most important species of the plant kingdom -- the mighty oak tree.

Oaks sustain a complex and fascinating web of wildlife. The Nature of Oaks reveals what is going on in oak trees month by month, highlighting the seasonal cycles of life, death, and renewal. From woodpeckers who collect and store hundreds of acorns for sustenance to the beauty of jewel caterpillars, Tallamy illuminates and celebrates the wonders that occur right in our own backyards. He also shares practical advice about how to plant and care for an oak, along with information about the best oak species for your area.

The Nature of Oaks will inspire you to treasure these trees and to act to nurture and protect them.

In The New Bohemians, LA-based designer Justina Blakeney defines the New Bohemians as creative individuals who are boutique owners and bloggers, entrepreneurs and ex-pats, artists and urban farmers.They embrace free-spirited, no-rules lifestyles and apply that attitude to all areas of their existence, including their homes. With little distinction between work and play, the new boho home often includes an office, art gallery, showroom, photography studio, restaurant, or even a pop-up shop.

The New Bohemians explores 20 homes located primarily on the East and West coasts. Exclusive interviews with the owners, 12 DIY projects created by Blakeney and inspired by objects found in the homes, and a "Plant-O-Pedia" offer insight into achieving this aesthetic. In addition, each home is accompanied by an Adopt-an-Idea section that offers general decor, styling, and shopping tips for easy duplication in your own home.

From one of today’s leading garden designers, known for her keen eye for colour and modern romanticism, comes a volume that reveals in thirty exquisitely planted gardens dozens of ideas on how to adapt traditional garden design elements for today’s more ecologically based aesthetics.

Over her thirty-year career, celebrated designer Jo Thompson has become recognised for her timeless planting, well-proportioned, English-style gardens rendered modern by a staunch commitment to biodiversity — to the eye this translates as a looser formality than English gardens of the past, though every bit as romantic. 

Thompson reminds us that we are never, in complete charge of how our gardens grow; other forces are always at work, as they should be when we allow sustainable practices to help us guide rather than try to dominate nature’s own efforts. Hundreds of beautiful colour photos and chapter-by-chapter case studies of individual gardens designed around various themes provide inspiration for all gardeners who want their gardens to feel not merely well planted, but truly alive and atmospheric.

About the Author:

Known for her exquisite planting, Jo Thompson is one of the UK’s leading garden designers. She has four Gold and five Silver Gilt Medals and a People’s Choice Award at RHS shows to her name and is an RHS judge and member of the RHS Show Gardens Selection Panel. Her designs are wide-ranging and rather than following fashions, Jo uses her innate understanding of place to ensure the landscapes she creates work seamlessly within their setting and for her clients. She is consistently listed as one of the top designers working today by House & Garden and Country Life magazines.

And more!

Druse writes in his introduction, “The garden of the future will be a shade garden. There are many reasons: fiscal, historical, environmental — and for the sake of our health and the planet’s.”

Discover what Druse has learned in his many years of gardening: Creating your own lush oasis is the best defense against our changing world. Filled with guidance, horticultural facts, and useful plant

Accessible, luxe home design and furnishings that express who you are and the experiences of your life featuring a rich layering of pattern, color, and texture.

Barclay Butera presents new work through 15 homes and tells the story of the new traditional style. As Barclay say, "Good design to me is a combination of yours, mine and ours. I believe there should be history in a room, whether it be a piece of art, a vintage rug or a family heirloom." In The New Traditional Barclay shares homes with an artful inclusion of heritage pieces that blend seamlessly alongside distinctive furnishings, pattern-on-pattern fabrics and bold textures - all elements of Barclay's iconic style. Butera sites the power of living in a beautiful environment and the positive effect of surrounding yourself with the things you love has on you. Classic design with a fresh twist - flawlessly integrated into traditional, transitional and contemporary interiors alike, these homes emphasize alluring architecture, luxurious furnishings and intricate craftsmanship to be enjoyed daily by their owners.

About the Author:

An intimate look at the ethos of one of today’s most exciting designers, and the people and places that have shaped her maximalist English country aesthetic.

British interior designer Flora Soames founded her eponymous firm in 2009 and launched an acclaimed collection of fabrics and wallpapers in 2019. Informed by her background in art and furniture, her style exudes the traditional charm of English country homes while incorporating modern, original touches that are comfortable and design-led. This embrace of old and new — along with Soames’s passion for collecting, heritage, color, and pattern — has resulted in an impressive portfolio of projects in the UK and beyond.

Inspired by the concept of a One Day Box — a place, real or imaginary, where we store fragments of our past that spark a feeling of connection — Soames presents her reflections on the concept of home, and explores the sentiments evoked by certain objects during seminal moments in her life. From personalities and places to beloved objects, Soames shows how our patchwork of memories can energize the process of creating and living in a home. Exquisite photographs of her projects — including her refurbished countryside cottage in Dorset, an architecturally prominent house in the Cotswolds, and her family’s home in North Norfolk — alongside images of vibrant fabrics and wallpaper bring her thoughts and distinctive style to life.

About the Author:

Flora Soames set up her design business in 2009 and launched a range of fabrics and wallpapers a decade later. One of House & Garden’s Top 100, her discerning eye and instinct for channeling both old and new has been formed through a lifetime love of collecting. She lives and works in Dorset, England.

Take a guided tour through the entrancing homes and lush private gardens of Palm Beach, a subtropical island that has long boasted some of the most spectacular residences in the country, in this two-volume, slipcased set

The allure of living in Palm Beach has continued unabated for more than a century, and no one is a greater authority on the island’s residences than Palm Beach native Jennifer Ash Rudick. Here, in The Palm Beach Collection, she has selected 50 of the most extraordinary homes – from restorations of iconic Mediterranean Revival mansions by legendary architects Addison Mizner, Marion Sims Wyeth, Maurice Fatio, and John Volk to charming bungalows, sprawling ranches, ultramodern villas, and chic apartments. All are exceptionally designed by a who’s who of the interior design world, with names including Peter Marino, the late Carleton Varney, Tom Scheerer, Mark D. Sikes, Mimi McMakin, Amanda Lindroth, and Frank de Biasi. The homes’ lush settings are as beautiful as the interiors, with the help of such superb landscape architects as Jorge Sánchez, Mario Nievera, and Fernando Wong. Rudick also includes newer Palm Beach homes by important architects including Jeffrey W. Smith, Thierry Despont, Fairfax & Sammons, Daniel Kahan, and Chris Stone and David Fox. Illustrated with more than 750 photographs by Palm Beach-based Jessica Klewicki Glynn and Nick Mele, this two-volume set offers the most comprehensive survey of Palm Beach homes ever compiled.

About the Authors:

The design editor at large for Galerie magazine and a contributor to Veranda, she is also a producer of documentary films, including the Emmy-nominated Iris and Scandalous.

The catalogues of the Paris Salons at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century provide a unique archive of illustrations of the decorative arts at a pivotal time in their development, the five previous volumes covering Jewellery, Furniture, Ceramics and Glass, and Objets d'Art.

The fabric designers of the Art Nouveau style who exhibited at the Paris Salons produced a remarkable oeuvre in printed and woven fabric, silk, lace, embroidery and tapestry.

Bookbinding was, and still is, a well-established French tradition, and bibliophiles commissioned unique bindings from artist-designers who, at the same time, were also creating and exhibiting non-bound leather goods - handbags, blotters, upholstery.

This volume is probably the most important in the series. Because of wear and tear, practically none of the approximate 1,200 textile and leatherware pieces illustrated have survived outside museum collections or appeared at auction, unlike the items covered by the earlier volumes.

Twenty-five world-class designers invite us inside their private French residences, providing intimate access to their creative universe and rich inspiration for home style.

Stepping inside the private residences of France's leading tastemakers provides unrivalled inspiration for interiors with a personal flair. From a modernist retreat to an urban-pop apartment, and from an eclectic cabinet of curiosities to an eighteenth-century hôtel particulier, each ambience demonstrates a perfect mastery of associations between colour, pattern, volume, material, and decorative genius.

Pierre Yovanovitch's elegant, purist sensitivity infuses his seventeenth-century château in Provence. Pierre Passebon, owner of the famous Galerie du Passage in Paris, has furnished his carefully curated home with a brilliant mix of tribal art, Wiener Werkst&aauml;tte masterpieces, and design from the 1930s. Jewellery designer Lorenz Bäumer’s own interior creations complement the resolutely contemporary pieces by modern masters such as Ingo Maurer, Ettore Sottsass, and Verner Panton in his light-filled, constantly evolving apartment. Fashion designer Gilles Dufour's eclectic collections include nineteenth-century history paintings, classical sculptures, and Christian Bérard drawings, displayed alongside a menagerie of sculptures by Claude and François-Xavier Lalanne.

These private residences, each created by a world-class aesthete with a discerning eye, offer up a rich palette of inspired ideas for the home.

A chic, polished guide to creating your dream bathroom, including engaging interviews with top designers and practical advice for homeowners.
