valerie finnis’ garden people


One of my new favorite blogs, the understated Lark About, posted a bunch of photos by Valerie Finnis (RIP), who, as it happens, I just recently learned about via a feature in The World of Interiors. The Lark About post referenced this, where there’s some discussion of the images as well as the tasty fact that there’s a book of them: Garden People. Shame about the cover, but I’m hoping the interior will live up to the promise of Finnis’ photos.

our napa starter garden

As I was stealing the title "collapse and delight" from the now-defunct blog of our little practice garden in Napa, I was mourning the loss of the photos - so I thought I'd salvage some of the highs and lows. (I have no idea why so many are so small.)
