am, unapologetically, a #PlantParent.

i say unapologetically not because i’m

a millennial who’ll find any opportunity

to mention – mid-conversation – how

particularly verdant my bird’s eye chili

is looking (grown from seed, no less)

butbecause the journey from sow to reap is not always

an easy win. i’ve buried enough thai basil to learn one

thing: it’s tough out there, even if you’re an indoor herb.

fortunately, gardens Editor heidi bertish has a plan

for us all. in Land of Plenty, she weaves together the origin

story of a constantia vegetable garden, with brilliant

intel on planting a veritable feast in your backyard (or on

your balcony). and it’s not just vegetables, but instagram-

approved edible flowers, too. it’s also that time of year

when living becomes decidedly alfresco, and decor Editor

Edwain steenkamp’s Catch Me Outside offers inspired

ideas to shake up your outdoor style hibernation.

whether you’re a seasoned gardener, a nursery newbie

or simply excited at the prospect of packing away your

knits and boots and making the most of the warmer days,

spring brings with it an unshakeable feeling of optimism

• and that’s exactly what the issue of Condé Nast House
  & Garden in your hands is all about. from the faithful
  restoration of a heritage home in cape town by
  fashion-designer-turned-decorator lindie ferreira, and
  an industrial berlin penthouse animated by a coquettish
  palette of pastels and pattern, to a seaside apartment
  with pared-back panache and a pretty (and pretty
  tough) family home in the city.
  this month, much like the season, we celebrate the
  power of creative design to renew, energise and excite.
