The Good Life Edit: Kitchen Garden & Outdoor Living
Grow something. Sit somewhere. Stay outside.
grow, tend, eat, linger
You don’t need a vegetable plot, a flock of hens or Barbara Good levels of commitment.
A raised bed. Herbs you’ll actually use. Garden tools that work properly. Pots worth looking at. And somewhere comfortable to sit when you’re finished.
Barbara’s principles. Margo’s budget.
The Good Life Edit brings together useful, good-looking pieces for growing, tending, eating and lingering outside.

THE FORMULA
Something to pick. Somewhere to sit
Grow what you actually eat. Buy useful things you’re happy to leave out. And don’t make the garden so productive that there’s nowhere left for lunch.
