Step through the garden gate with Cornbread & Buttermilk, where the paths are lined with roses, the air hums with bees, and the promise of green things yet to come stirs the soul. In this week’s episode, we wander through ten gardens without leaving our chairs—romantic and wild, artful and fine, glorious and natural. From the elegance of The New Romantic Garden to the humble wisdom of How to Garden When You Rent, we’ll leaf through the beauty, the lessons, and the stories tucked between each page. So pour yourself some sweet tea, settle in, and let’s let the garden grow in our minds before it blooms in the soil.
