I get asked all the time whether the FG staffers are actually gardeners or even have gardens. Luckily, the answer is YES! For example, check out these containers created by our very own art director, Stephanie Fagan, last summer. Nice, eh?! We practice what we preach around here, than you very much. :oD

Here is a link to some containers Michelle and I did:

And a healthy fraction of the plant shots that show up in the magazine were taken in our gardens. Posted: 9:15 am on May 19th
