Your work has inspired me to begin my own practice; this spring has come into sharper focus than previous ones. I look forward to each of your thoughtful interludes.
I’m afraid there’s a lot more swearing in my garden project than in that amazing book 🤣 But all gardens do seem to have a kind of magic they work on their tenders
What a brilliant correlation to the periodic table! I love your process, Ann! And, you’re using Canva too. Keep going. Looking forward to the progression of this project.
I've always liked "antique science aesthetic" as well! And antique library aesthetic. Ideally, I'd like to have a house with a dimly lit library, complete with dark wooden shelves and oriental carpets and museum-like display cases with sextants and other brass sciencey stuff. Oh, and a huge antique globe that is also a drinks cart. I actually used to have one of those in my apartment when I lived in Ireland. It belonged to an aunt of my now-ex. She bought it in the US and brought it home with her when she moved back. But it was a copy. She bought it in Pottery Barn :)
Scientific, poetic and thoughtful indeed!

Thank you, Cathy. This makes my heart so happy.
Oh my gosh this is gorgeous! Very much looking forward to the final product
(I also relate very strongly to your opener about collecting curiosities and seeing what can be made of them)
Thank you for the encouragement! It’s so good to have an ongoing project and watch it grow.🌿
This is such an incredible idea and so beautifully executed!
Thank you, Jason. I love reading about your backyard project. It reminds me of that wonderful book _The Secret Garden_

Everyday magic is the best kind, for sure. Keep going! 🌿✨✨
I love this idea of the Periodic Table of Elements for the Forest. Are you arranging the elements in any particular order or is it by week?
Hi Nikki-- For this version I’m arranging it by microseason (about every 5 days) going top to bottom and left to right.
Can’t wait to see what wonders Nature will reveal! 🍃

I love this so much, Ann.
I think you have a Robin Wall Kimmerer beautiful brain.
Your design is genius. The forest knows you love her.🌱
🌊 The river feels the same way about you, Katharine. 💙
Genius . Love it.

How cool! I also love the Dark and the Light Academic aesthetics. Very cozy and romantic.
