When I saw this little hut from across the lawn in the display gardens at Matterhorn Nursery in Spring Valley, New York, I was instantly smitten. I love the structure itself, its massive green backdop, and the plantings that surround it. But it wasn’t until I walked up to it and looked inside that I fell completely in love… Take a look!

    Fabulous enough to become my new desktop! Perhaps my husband will say, "I can build that." Mine would be in the wooded area of our property.
